Summary
Materials used in structures have a thermal response character, which is noted but rarely developed further in solving problems. The bimetallic strip is presented as an example of where thermal effects can be useful (in thermostats, shape-changing structures etc) and where the coupling between equilibrium, compatibility and the generalised Hooke's Law is evidently demonstrated analytically.
