In this paper, a six-node triangular C 0 plate bending element is developed by the assumed natural strain method. In the element, all the sampled natural transverse shear strains are chosen such that the latter has a favourable constraint index and the strains are optimized with respect to a linear

In this paper, a six-node pentagonal solid}shell element is formulated. Particular attention is focused on alleviating shear, trapezoidal and thickness lockings that plagues the conventional element. While assumed natural strain method is employed to alleviate shear and trapezoidal lockings, a modi"
## Abstract A formulation for 36βDOF assumed strain triangular solid shell element is developed for efficient analysis of plates and shells undergoing finite rotations. Higher order deformation modes described by the bubble function displacements are added to the assumed displacement field. The ass
