Deflection of a Beam Considering the Creep

This paper deals with determining the creep of a simply supported beam. Creep is a complex phenomenon configured in a different way in each program and therefore we wanted to analyze the results of the calculations in a variety of programs based on the Finite Element Method. Immediate and subsequent application of deflection function creep is examined in the ANSYS software. In ANSYS the deflection is modeled by implementing the creep curve over time. Creep analysis in this program can be in several ways. One of them is the definition of creep function by Prony series which are then used for material characteristics of the modeled structure. In modeling of a structure different types of finite elements were used. In the end, the results have been presented in tables and figures.
