Multilayer composite materials are often used in building structures. The direct calculation of layered structures requires large expenditures of computer time. Therefore, the homogenization method is used. This method reduces the problem of a layered material with isotropic layers to the problem of a homogeneous transversely isotropic medium. The material considered in the article is also elastic-creeping. In the equations of state of such a material, terms of the convolution type with difference creep (relaxation) kernels are added to the terms of the usual theory of elasticity. The creep (relaxation) kernels are represented by decreasing exponential functions depending on two parameters. This problem becomes a problem of the theory of elasticity with a parameter after applying the Laplace transform in time to it. The inverse Laplace transform can be done in a computer algebra package, for example, Wolfram Mathematica, Wolfram-alpha. The obtained characteristics of the material are used to solve the problem of a layered elastic-creeping beam with hinge support. Formulas are given for determining displacements in the case of layers parallel to the beam axis.
