In the recent years, solid-shell "nite element models which possess no rotational degrees of freedom and applicable to thin plate/shell analyses have attracted considerable attention. Development of these elements are not straightforward. Shear, membrane, trapezoidal, thickness and dilatational lock
The paper presents a degree of freedom expanding method for dealing with the connections of 3D isopararnetric solid elements and the degenerated shell elements. By introducing two degrees of freedom to describe the elongation in the normal direction of the shell node linked with solid elements, a se
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.
