The problem of determining the stresses in a bimaterial beam subjected to a thermal load is considered. One beam layer is assumed to be linear while the second layer is assumed to be elastoplastic. A simple analytical solution is derived and compared against results obtained with finite elements. © 1991 by ASME.
