A new two-noded shear flexible curved beam element which is impervious to membrane and shear locking is proposed herein. The element with three degrees of freedom at each node is based on curvilinear deep shell theory. Starting with a cubic polynomial representation for radial displacement (w), the

An accurate two-node (three degrees of freedom per node) finite element is developed for curved shear deformable beams. The element formulation is based on shape functions that satisfy the homogeneous form of the partial differential equations of motion which renders it free of shear and membrane lo
An e$cient and accurate four node shear #exible composite laminated plate element with six degrees of freedom per node, viz. three displacement (u, v, w) along the x-, y-and z-axis, two rotations ( V and W ) about y-and x-axis and twist ( VW) is proposed in this paper. A coupled displacement "eld is
## Abstract Several simple and accurate CΒ° twoβnode arch/beam and fourβnode cylindrical shell/plate finite elements are presented in this paper. The formulation used here is based on the refined theory of thick cylindrical shells and the quasiβconforming element technique. Unlike most CΒ° elements,
