Abstract
This paper describes an experimental and analytical study of the phenomenon of creep as it occurs in bending. Creep tests upon a lead beam were made to determine the behavior of originally plane sections during pure bending accompanied by creep. From the results of these tests and of creep tests in tension and compression, a method is devised whereby the results of the usual tensile creep test may be utilized to predict the rate of creep for transverse sections of the beam. The paper concludes with several analytical examples involving creep as it occurs in pure bending.
