Modeling of Creep for Structural Analysis

Focusing on the simulation and analysis of time-dependent stress and strain in engineering structures, this book explores creep mechanics through the formulation of constitutive equations applicable to multi-axial stress states. It covers structural mechanics models, including beams and three-dimensional solids, and addresses non-linear initial-boundary value problems. The work reviews both classical and contemporary modeling approaches while enhancing the existing solutions with sophisticated examples for structural analysis applications.
