Finite element elastic problems

 

The subroutine STRESS, in the DO 465 loop, for all the elastic programs, computes the stress per pixel and adds these up to get the overall average stress. Simply output the variables str11, str22, str33, str13, str23, and str12, which are the local average stresses in a given pixel, to generate any kind of stress map. The local strains are also computed, s11, s22, s33, s13, s23, and s12, and can be output as well. In the thermal strain programs, THERMAL2D.F and THERMAL3D.F, the local strain and the local stress can be similarly output with or without the thermal strain included, if that is of interest in a given problem solution.
