Features: This book is based on the research supported by the Shanghai Municipal Higher Education Science and Technology Development Fund project. It references a series of domestic and international materials as well as the author's many years of research and new achievements. The basic content includes: fundamental theoretical knowledge of creep fracture in composite structures; the analysis and calculation of spatiotemporal stress redistribution in composite structures under sustained loads, as well as the mechanism analysis of creep fracture and the criterion for delayed creep fracture. The book is divided into seven chapters. The features of this book are: in terms of content, it combines fundamental theory with applied research, and popularization with advancement. In terms of methodology, it starts from an engineering application perspective, making some simplifications, treating spatiotemporal problems as spatial or planar problems, and converting viscoelastic crack problems into linear elastic crack problems. In terms of techniques, it employs unique processing, using the Excel software of Office 2000 to calculate all results, including solving complex transcendental equation systems and conducting inverse analysis to predict structural life. This book can serve as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students; it can also be used as a reference for civil and structural engineering technicians and scientific researchers in relevant disciplines at universities.
