Transient Thermal Stresses in a Finite Slab by Moving the Zonal Heat Source

In this paper, the transient thermal stresses in a finite slab cooled by a linear moving coolant on the surface are measured by a strain gage. At the same time, the transient thermal stresses in an infinite slab heated by a linear moving heat source on the surface are theoretically analyzed. The industrial applicability of the theoretical results for an infinite slab is investigated by comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental ones
