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
