33 Calculating linearized stresses

33. Calculating linearized stresses

The calculation of linearized stresses is a capability for advanced ABAQUS users. It is most commonly used for two-dimensional axisymmetric models. The following topics are covered:

“Understanding stress linearization,” Section 33.1
“Stress linearization example,” Section 33.2
“Obtaining linearized stress results,” Section 33.3

For detailed information on linearized stress result quantities and the methods of calculation used, see “Stress linearization,” Section 2.17.1 of the ABAQUS Theory Manual.
