Abstract
The paper deals with the problem of the optimal design of nonhomogeneous bars with respect to time of ductile creep rupture. Finite strain theory is applied. Comparison with bars of uniform strength is analysed. Some general theorems concerning optimality of bars of uniform initial strength are formulated and proved. Examples for certain simple materials are given.
