✦ Synopsis

This paper presents an eighteen-node solid element for geometric nonlinear analysis of shells. Starting from a stressresultant approach, a modified generalized laminate stiffness matrix is developed. The matrix resolves not only thickness locking but also some abnormalities encountered in laminate analysis by the existing remedies of thickness locking. To formulate the stabilization scheme, a hybrid functional with independently assumed stress-resultant and displacement is derived. The salient feature of the present element is that the stabilization vectors can be programmed explicitly without using any integration loops. A number of commonly employed benchmark problems are attempted and the results are close to other state-of-the-art elements.

In Part I of the paper, a hybrid-stress-assumed natural strain eight-node solid-shell element immune to shear, membrane, trapezoidal, thickness and dilatational lockings has been developed. Moreover, the element computational cost is reduced by enforcing admissible sparsity in the #exibility matrix.
