BimaterialStripCurvatureRadiusFromTemperature {thermocouple}

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

Description

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

Usage
