CREEP CALCULATION OF RECTANGULAR SECTION WOOD BEAM
The article provides the derivation of the resolving equations for creep calculation of the wood beam. An example of hinged on edges and loaded with a uniformly distributed load rectangular transverse section beam is presented. The deflection has been found by finite differences method. The program has been developed in MATLAB environment with the opportunity of initial data change and derivation of dependency graph of displacement on time. The comparison of deflection maximum with the analytical solution is given. It has been found that stresses remain constant during creep process.
