Ferrari, Mauro; Weber, Marie E.

UCB/SEMM-1992/17, Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992-06, 6 pages (500/C23/92/17)

The paper presents a closed form solution for a bilayer subject to non-uniform intrinsic straining and compares the exact stress-curvature relations with the formulae of Stoney and Brenner-Senderoff.
