A flat shell element based on the free-formulation finite element concept is developed for analysing geometrically non-linear thin composite shells. A corotational form of the updated Lagrangian formulation is utilized. Numerical results for typical validation problems are presented in order to demo
## Abstract Two simple 4โnode 20โDOF and 4โnode 24โDOF displacementโbased quadrilateral elements named RDKQโL20 and RDKQโL24 are developed in this paper based on the firstโorder shear deformation theory (FSDT) for linear analysis of thin to moderately thick laminates. The deflection and rotation fu
