Stress Classification 1

[VibFrank]

Hy,
I just want to learn something about peak stress, primary stress, primary bending stress, secondary stress etc... and I read an article from W.C. Kroenke "Classification of finite element stress according to asme section III stress categories" (It seems to be an older article and it is a little bit confusing..). Do you have recommendations of good articles/books about this theme ?
Thanks a lot
chris

Try to get your hands on a copy of Criteria of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for Design by Analysis in Sections III and VIII, Division 2 ca. 1968 I think.

A more modern approach which includes FEA applications is WRC Bulletin 429 at
