## 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

โฆ Synopsis
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 at the shell edges. The non-symmetric variations of the displacements and stress resultants in the circumferential direction are decomposed in terms of Fourier series. The stress resultants are eliminated on the element level so that the standard stiness equations are obtained. The importance of consistent stress parameters is addressed and the eciency of the present consistent mixed element is shown.

In this study a higher-order shell theory is proposed for arbitrary shell geometries which allows the cross-section to rotate with respect to the middle surface and to warp into a non-planar surface. This new kinematic assumption satis"es the shear-free surface boundary condition (BC) automatically.
Elastic contact between a thick shell of revolution and a rigid plate in the case when the plate is brought into contact with the shell by giving a finite displacement to the plate is analysed by the finite-element method. Field-consistent higher-order strain-displacement relations with vanishing sh
