Abstract
Joule heating deformation of laminated rectangular plates shown in the title was examined theoretically and experimentally. The room-temperature shape of a rectangular plate is decided by the plane dimension, and it becomes a saddle shape or a cylindrical shape. The boundary is shown in the fixed relationship between width and length of the plates. All rectangular plates become saddle shape, if the length of one edge is 127mm or less. With the temperature rise, the deformation by Joule heating simply shifts to flat plate from room-temperature shape. The transition from the cylinder to the saddle shape, estimated by the theory at intermediate temperature, is not generated
