This paper deals with parameters which dominate residual stress produced by bonded two dissimilar materials. Parameters were derived from theories of elastisity and heat conduction. The validity of parametrers was proved by using Boundary Element Method (BEM). The residual stress at the neighbourhood of bond line in similar body is the same value at a point of similarity. This conclusion is important for making clear the effect of a specimen size on a material strength.
