Membrane stress; Membrane Stress
In a wall subject to normal stress variation according to its thickness, average value obtained after linearization.
Bending stress
In a wall subject to normal stress evolution according to its thickness, the value of half the difference between the extreme quantities obtained after linearization.
Primary Stress
Stress (normal or tangential) resulting from mechanical loading and which, as a result, cannot be self-limiting.
Secondary stress
Stress (normal or tangential) resulting from differential deformation (mechanical or thermal) and likely to be self-limiting due to the plastic behavior of the material.
