Abstract

The thermal stresses are calculated during quenching of short glass cylinders for materials used in solid‐state laser devices. The stresses are determined numerically, and they are parameterized by the Biot number which characterizes cooling by convection. The solution is compared to the stresses for flat, penny‐shaped and for long, rod‐shaped cylinders. The validity of the steady‐state thermal boundary conditions is discussed.
