THE work of Johnson, Mathur and Henderson on the ‘Creep Deflexion of Magnesium Alloy Struts’ raised the question in the present writer's mind of the stress distribution in the beam cross‐section, and the variation of this distribution with time. The precise computation of the stress distribution in an eccentrically loaded strut appears to be a very difficult problem, and the present note is concerned with the much simpler case of a beam subjected to a constant bending moment.
