Hello,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I have a very rudimentary question on how the material properties are imparted to the common nodes on an interface between two different materials?<\/p>\n

Lets say for example, I have a bimetallic strip. One strip is aluminium and the other is copper.<\/p>\n

How will the strain on the nodes at the interface be calculated? If we use strain= alphaXdelta_Temp…. then the alpha to be used in this calculation should be from Aluminium or from copper? Or both?<\/p>\n

if both the values are used for calculations, then how is the displacement of the interface evaluated from these strains?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Any inputs are appreciated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n
