The laboratory simulation of thermal shock failure

Infrared transparent windows on aircraft and ir transparent missile nose domes can be subjected to rapid heating which could cause thermal shock failure. A commercially available device for simulating such thermal shock environments has been assessed and used in a study of a range of materials. The...

Summary:Infrared transparent windows on aircraft and ir transparent missile nose domes can be subjected to rapid heating which could cause thermal shock failure. A commercially available device for simulating such thermal shock environments has been assessed and used in a study of a range of materials. The material ordering resulting from these experiments has been compared with that obtained by considering a thermal shock figure of merit. (Original abstract)
