BimaterialStripCurvatureRadiusFromTemperature function

curvature radius of a bimetallic strip uniformly heated from T0 to T

BimaterialStripCurvatureRadiusFromTemperature curvature radius of a bimetallic strip uniformly heated from T0 to T in the absence of external forces

BimaterialStripCurvatureRadiusFromTemperature(T0, R0, T, m, n, alpha1, alpha2, thickn)

Arguments

• T0: Initial temperature
• R0: 1/R0 = Initial curvature of the strip at temperature T0
• T: Measured temperature
• m: t1/t2, with t1 and t2 their respective thicknesses
• n: E1/E2, with E1 and E2 their respective Young’s moduli
• alpha1: Coefficient of expansion of element 1
• alpha2: Coefficient of expansion of element 2
• thickn: t1 + t2 thickness of the strip

Returns

• R: voltage (V)
