Analytical solutions are presented for the deformations of and stresses in two-material, two-bar structures, beams in bending and thick cylinders, under creep conditions. Results obtained using these solutions were compared with corresponding single-material solutions and were used to assess the applicability of reference stress and other simple design rule concepts, established for single-material structures, to two-material components and structures.
