hi Guys
Can be possible that Membrane plus bending stress is higher than stress intensity (Tresca)?
thank!

RE: Stress Linearization
The stress intensity (or if you are using an Edition of ASME Section VIII, Division 2 more recent than 2004/2006, the invariant of choice should be equivalent stress or von Mises) is an invariant - a way of collapsing the stress tensor into a single quantity with no direction.
A membrane-plus-bending stress is typically a tensor representation of a stress state from an (pseudo-)elastic analysis along a stress classification line (SCL).
Perhaps some additional information can assist with getting a better answer to what you're actually looking for.

Here we go
I attached a .doc file when you can find what I want to say. There are 2 lines highlighted when it say:
SCL 6:
The Linearized Maximum Combined Membrane and Bending Stress is calculated as 80.187
The Maximum Tresca Stress along the SCL is 75.924
SCL7:
The Linearized Maximum Combined Membrane and Bending Stress is calculated as 101.769
The Maximum Tresca Stress along the SCL is 96.912
Thank!
RE: Stress Linearization
If so, then your second SCL is completely invalid. Your first is valid.
The proper procedure for calculating primary-plus-secondary membrane-plus-bending equivalent stress (range) is to calculate the tensor of the membrane-plus-bending stress range, and then calculate the equivalent stress from that. You can't state that the membrane is X, and the bending is Y, so the equivalent (von Mises) is X+Y. That's not how tensors work.
Find out the basis of this calculation.
On the topic of membrane-plus-bending stresses - you may find my blog post on the subject enlightening - https://becht.com/blog/asme-section-viii-division-...
RE: Stress Linearization
I made a sub routine in matlab for calculate membrane, bending, membrane+bendig stress, using stress tensor components and I obtained the same result that in femap. But I have so many doubt about the procedure used for calculate the integrals shown in Sec VIII, Div2 Apendix 5A.
Do you have some papers or guide that estimate these integrals?
Thank!
RE: Stress Linearization
ASME PTB-2 has sample problems for Section VIII, Division 2.

RE: Stress Linearization
DomCattoni - I understand that you are using Tresca. However, if you are using VIII-2, then that is not a permitted invariant. Period.
