Question: Two metallic strips are bonded at ( 4 2 5 ^ { circ } mathrm { C } ) to form

Two metallic strips are bonded at \(425^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to form a bi-metallic strip (stress free at \(425^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)). The Young's modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, and the geometry of the cross-section for each material are below. The bonded strip was then cooled to \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Due the residual thermal stress, the strip bends. Calculate the bending curvature.
a. Calculate the relative moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}}\), and bending stiffness \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{r}}\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}}\), using the procedure you learned from the "bending of beams made of different material". Pick material 1 as the reference.
b. Using the procedure learned for deriving the internal forces for non-bending case (e.g. tube and core), find the internal forces, \(\mathrm{P}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{P}_{2}\), in each part that are needed to keep the bi-metallic strip straight.
c. Releasing the force at the ends is equivalent to applying reverse forces. Calculate the moment produced by the reverse forces.
d. Calculate the curvature.
