Radius of Curvature of Bimetallic Strip subjected to change in temperature Calculator

This Calctown Calculator calculates the radius of curvature of a bimetallic strip subjected to change in temperature.

α₁(coefficient of linear thermal expansion of 1st strip)

K^-1

α₂(coefficient of linear thermal expansion of 2nd strip)

K^-1

ΔT(change in temperature)

s(thickness of strips)

R(radius of curvature)

where

R = radius of curvature

s = thickness of the strips

ΔT = change in temperature

α₁, α₂ are coefficients of linear thermal expansion of the strips with α₂ > α₁.
