A heat transfer analysis was performed to evaluate the temperature distribution on the specimen during the cooling under an impinging air jet; temperature measurements performed with an infrared pyrometer on the cooled samples show good agreement with the evaluated data. These results were then integrated in a structural mechanic model as thermal load. The COMSOL Multiphysics® Thermal-Structural interaction model allowed to determine the dependence of the stress on the temperature fields PB - COMSOL M2 - Milan, Italy A1 - Borri, Claudia A1 - Lavacchi, Alessandro A1 - Fossati, Alessio A1 - Perissi, Ilaria A1 - Bardi, Ugo T2 - Comsol Conference 2009 ID - eprints3821 ER -
