Abstract

This study systematically investigates the thermo-mechanical coupling behavior of plasma-sprayed mullite ceramic coatings on concrete surfaces through integrated finite element simulation and experimental verification. A three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupling model was developed on the ANSYS Fluent platform to simulate temperature field distribution, residual stress evolution, and their impacts on interfacial bonding strength during the spraying process. Experimental data calibration confirmed the model accuracy with
