The book deals with the thermal and mechanical fracture of functionally graded materials on homogeneous substrate (FGM/H) structures. Emphasis is placed on multiple crack interactions. FGMs have a wide range of engineering applications; especially in thermal barrier coatings. Potentially desirable thermal and mechanical properties of functionally graded coatings (FGCs) are analyzed as well as available real material combinations, e.g. (ceramic/metal)/metal. Keywords: Thermal Fracture, Mechanical Fracture, Functionally Graded/Homogeneous Bimaterial, Thermo-Mechanical Loading, Mathematical Modelling, Thermal Stress Intensity, Fracture Criteria, Crack Closure, Systems of Cracks, Edge Cracks, Internal Cracks, Cracks Imitating a Curved Interface, Multiple Cracks Interaction, Thermal Barrier Coating, Thermal Fracture Resistance.
