Abstract
In Chapter 2 the theories of creep have been explained and applied to the simple cases of stress relaxation in a bolt and creep in a thin-walled cylinder. However, most components operating at elevated temperature experience more complex stress redistribution as creep strains accumulate within the body. The process of stress redistribution continues until a steady state stress distribution is approached at long times. Although, in general, numerical computation is required to follow this behaviour, in many instances it is possible to obtain the overall response of a structure by using analytical techniques.
