โฆ Synopsis
Simple solutions are extracted from the exact compatibility equations of inextensional bending for a special class of shell shapes, and it is speculated that these solutions provide useful criteria towards evaluating finite elements for these and closely related shapes. Curved finite elements of a quadratic parametric representation, which d o not belong to the special class, are then studied. By using a series of exact inqxtensional bending displacements, it is concluded from numerical evidence that the criteria apply t o finite element shapes in this representation when they are shallow, as is usually the case in practice. Criteria for homogeneous membrane actions folrow from Gol'denveizer's static-geometric analogue.
