In this paper the results of experimental research of residual deflection accumulation process in plates under the influence of repeated static loads in the mode of “creeping” and “relaxing” are presented. The main ideas of the nature of plate deformation, which make it possible to take into account the history of loading resulting deformation, and the results of modeling the process of accumulation of residual deflections in the use of short-term service loads are formulated in this document.
