Hi!
I am working with ASME section III NF-3000, mainly with the plate and shell type supports.
When looking at the bending vs membrane stress do you look at the whole cross section? For example, consider a console (H-beam) with a moment load. The flanges will take most load but is this stress considered as bending or membrane? This stress is linearly varying over the whole cross-section but very uniform for the flanges. Should this stress be compared to Sm or 1.5*Sm?
Thanks!
Thomas
