โœฆ Synopsis

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 integration for the transverse shear energy. Several examples are tested to demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of the element. The numerical results indicate that the shell element performs accurately for both thick and thin shell situations.

## 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 favo
