Creep Effects in the Finite Element Analysis of Thermo-Mechanical Problems
A finite element method is employed to analyse creep of a structure under mechanical and thermal load. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by a numerical test in which the effect of temperature on the stress relaxation is analysed.
