The Elastic material model is used in ASME to determine the stress distribution in
Design and Service Condition, in order to verify stresses against Plastic Collapse,
Local Failure and Fatigue.
Each of these failure modes has specific stress limits which are established based
on simple but conservative hypothesis in the ASME Code, like the material perfectly
plastic behavior and the shell theory with its typical membrane and bending stresses
with linear distribution along the thickness.
This material model is Non Linear, and is used to predict Collapse loads on the
structure, as well as ratcheting.
Depending on the failure mode studied, the ASME Code recommends different
options.
For example, in 5.5.7 Ratcheting Assessment Elastic-Plastic Stress Analysis
