The interpretation of 3-D stresses computed using Finite Element (FE) techniques has been the focus of an ongoing PVRC study ``3D Stress Criteria: Guidelines for Application`` (Hechmer and Hollinger, 1995). This paper proposes an FE stress evaluation procedure for plate element models in the spirit of that recommended in the PVRC guideline. A sample model is analyzed, using five commercially available FE codes. The results are compared to illustrate the variability in the FE codes. Additionally, the practical difficulties in implementing the PVRC recommended procedure in the various FE codes is discussed.
