Analysis of a Ceramic Radome

Abstract

This report summarizes the analysis conducted to determine the thermal stresses in a ceramic radome subjected to laser irradiation. It describes the thermal analysis conducted to determine the thermal loading in laboratory test discs and in a full-size radome model based on a "Sparrow" scribes the structural analysis of both structures based on the thermal loading derived and compares these results to a one-dimensional thermal and thermal stress analysis.
