The residual strength degradation behavior of graphite under thermal fatigue was investigated experimentally via thermal shock quench test. Fatigue damage models were used to predict the residual strength curve. Cyclic thermal stress was determined by the finite element method. The effect of graphite microstructure defects on the increase of stress was calculated via an image processing technique...
