In this study, a new two-dimensional shear deformable beam element is proposed for large deformation problems. The kinematics of the beam are defined using an exact displacement field, where the rotation angles of the cross-section caused by bending and shear deformations are described separately. C
The phenomenon of shear locking in plate finite elements, or the loss of accuracy when thin plates are modelled by shear deformable elements, is explained in terms of the presence of boundary layer-type solutions to the equations of shear deformable plate theory, coupled with existing arguments in t
