β¦ Synopsis
A 4-node hybrid stress quadrilateral shell element with 3 rotational d.o.f.s per node is presented. The mid-surface displacement of the element is founded on Allman's rotation. The equal-rotation mode intrinsic to the rotation is suppressed by a stabilization vector. The assumed stress field and the stabilization scalar is chosen such that membrane locking can be avoided. Computational efficiency of the element is improved by employing orthogonal stress modes and admissible matrix formulation. Popular benchmark tests are attempted and the results are found to be satisfactory.
