A method of calculating stresses and deflections for beams whose material creeps is presented in
this paper. Complete tension creep test data at constant temperature are used to define creep charac-
teristics of the material. Then by using Bernoulli's hypothesis of plane sections and the techniques
developed earlier for interpretation of the relaxation creep tests, a method of beam analysis is shown.
Stresses and deflections may be calculated for any desired time interval. This includes the time prior
to the occurrence of the steady state creep. The latter aspect appears to have been ignored by others.
