## Abstract A nonβlinear quadrilateral shell element for the analysis of thin structures is presented. The ReissnerβMindlin theory with inextensible director vector is used to develop a threeβfield variational formulation with independent displacements, stress resultants and shell strains. The inte
This paper describes a novel design concept and an algorithm for topology and detail geometry design of a beam structure. Topology, layout, cross-sectional shape and size of each element are treated as a design variable. Homotopy theory is used to classify a topological type of a beam structure. In
