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

Abstract
A two noded, straight element which includes shear deformation effects is presented and shown to be extremely efficient in the analysis of axisymmetric shells. A single point of numerical integration is essential for its success when applied to thin shells where the results compare favourably with those achieved with more complex curved elements.

An e$cient two-node curved axisymmetric shell element is proposed. The element with three degrees of freedom per node accounts for the transverse shear #exibility and rotary inertia. The strain components are de"ned in a curvilinear co-ordinate frame. The variation of normal displacement (w) along t
