Abstract
The stiffness equation is derived for curved elements of orthotropic axiβsymmetric thin shells, and equivalent applied loads are found for shells subjected to initial strains, applied surface loads and body forces. The Lure approximation of thin shells and displacement field approximation by polynomials of arbitrary degree are included in the formulae derived.

The shear locking problem for the bilinear degenerated thick shell elements, when used in the context of thin shell structures, can be overcome by a generalized displacement method presented in this paper. The transverse shear energy in the degenerated thick shell elements is totally suppressed by i
## Abstract At present the Semiloof element is probably one of the most efficient available for the solution of thin shells of arbitrary geometry. Experience in static situations indicates that accurate results can be obtained for nonβtrivial geometric and loading configurations with relatively coa
