The validity of the theory for calculating transient thermal stresses in brittle circular cylinders produced by rapid heating and cooling was tested by experiment, using a high alumina ceramic and hot and cold fluidized beds as the heating and cooling media. The agreement between theory and experiment is reasonable in the light of the nonstatistical nature of the experiments, and of the assumptions involved in developing and using the theory, and in correlating the thermal stress to failure with breaking strength.
