A simple, efficient and versatile finite element is introduced for shell applications. The element is developed based on a degeneration concept, in which the displacements and rotations of the shell mid-surface are independent variables. Bilinear functions are employed in conjunction with a reduced
This article advocates a general procedure for the numerical investigation of pseudo-rigid bodies. The equations of motion for pseudo-rigid bodies are shown to be mathematically equivalent to those corresponding to certain constant-strain รฟnite element approximations for general deformable continua.
A simple and ecient three-noded mixed harmonic axisymmetric element for shells of revolution under nonsymmetric loading is developed. The present element considering shear strain is based on a modiยฎed mixed variational principle in which the independent unknowns are only the quantities prescribable
