1. (#6.1, Textbook) Determine the extensional, coupling, and bending stiffness matrices of a bimetallic strip made of 5-mm-thick layer of steel and 5-mm-thick layer of aluminum. Discuss the significance of the coupling matrix. For steel: E = 210 GPa; v=0.3; For aluminum: E=70 GPa; v=0.33 Take top layer as steel and bottom layer as aluminum.
