A two-layered material is made of two metal bars, each with square cross-sectional area t² and length L, fixed together in parallel along their lengths. The bars are made of different materials, with the linear coefficient of expansion of one bar being significantly larger than that of the other. When heated, the compound bar begins to bend. Show that the radius of curvature of the curved, compound bar is t/(AGAT), where t is the thickness, or smallest dimension, of a single bar, Aa is the difference between the linear expansion coefficients of the two materials and AT is the increase in temperature.

A two-layered material is made of two metal bars, each with square cross-sectional area
t² and length L, fixed together in parallel along their lengths. The bars are made of
different materials, with the linear coefficient of expansion of one bar being significantly
larger than that of the other. When heated, the compound bar begins to bend. Show
that the radius of curvature of the curved, compound bar is t/(AaAT), where t is the
thickness, or smallest dimension, of a single bar, Aa is the difference between the linear
expansion coefficients of the two materials and AT is the increase in temperature.
