Books

There are not really any books that specifically cover all of the material in this TLP, although there are, of course, books that treat various aspects of coatings, and of surface engineering more generally. The three below respectively present a review of developments since the original Stoney equation, modelling of progressive deposition of a coating onto a thin substrate and the anisotropy that arises with thin films on (cubic) single crystal substrates.

Other resources

There are many journal papers that cover the issue of stresses and strains in surface coatings and also the broader topics of how they can provide various kinds of protection, including thermal, environmental and tribological. The two below respectively present a review of developments since the original Stoney equation and an outline of how progressive deposition of a coating onto a thin substrate can be treated.
