## Abstract We study the accuracy and reliability of the lowestโorder bilinear shell finite element schemes. Our approach is based mainly on a simplified shallow shell model analogous to the ReissnerโMindlin model of plate bending. The numerical models are constructed by modifying the strain expres

The aim of the study is: "rst\*to show that the "nite element method for plane bending is not sensitive to the distorted geometry of isoparametric quadrilateral elements, second\*to close out further investigations on irregular elements based on Wilson incompatible functions employing ad hoc methods
## Abstract The development of a generalized quadrilateral finite element that includes a singular point at a corner node is presented. Interโelement conformability is maintained so that monotone convergence is preserved. The globalโlocal concept of finite elements is used to formulate the complete
