Characterization and Prediction of Cracks in Coated Materials: Direction and Length of Crack Propagation in Bimaterials

<div>Results of FEM with three cracks after a 500 MPa loading charge: (a) length of cracks equal to 30 <i>μ</i>m, (b) the cracks after propagation, when they reach 0.57 <i>μ</i>m length, and (c) the cracks forming a deflection between the steel and zinc.</div>
