An analysis is presented of the thermal stresses in a partially absorbing brittle ceramic flat plate asymmetrically heated by radiation on the front surface and cooled by convection on the rear surface with a heat transfer coefficient, h , being finite or zero. For finite A, the transient thermal stresses are a function of h , whereas the steady‐state thermal stresses are independent of h . The maximum value of tensile thermal stresses occurs at an optical thickness μ a = 2 and equals zero for μ a = 0 or ∞. For an optical thickness μ a <10.7, the steady‐state thermal stresses exceed the transient stresses, with the converse being true for μ10.7. The maximum tensile thermal stresses occur in the front surface where the temperatures are highest. For h =0, the tensile thermal stresses increase with increasing value of optical thickness. The role of the material properties which control the thermal stress resistance under conditions of combined radiation heating and convection cooling are discussed. Appropriate thermal stress resistance parameters are proposed.
