Abstract

The determination of residual stresses in coatings generally goes with the simultaneous determination of their elasticity constants. The main experimental methods used for that purpose are briefly reviewed and their advantages and limitations discussed: mechanical tests on self-bearing layers or on coated substrates, indirect physical methods.
