Based on the re"ned non-conforming element method, simple #at triangular elements with standard nodal displacement parameters are proposed for the analysis of shell structures. For ensuring the convergence of the elements a new coupled continuity condition at the inter-element has been established i

## Abstract The accuracy of stability analysis depends on the accuracy of both the element stiffness matrix and geometry stiffness matrix. Therefore, when carrying out the stability analysis of thin cylindrical shells using the finite element methods will require, firstly, a refined nonβconforming
An updated Lagrangian formulation of the generalized conforming Β―at shell element with drilling degrees of freedom is derived based on the incremental equation of virtual work of a three-dimensional (3D) continuum for a purely geometric non-linear analysis of the space structure. While solving the n
## Abstract A refined discrete degenerated 20βDOF quadrilateral shell element RQS20 is proposed. The exact displacement function of the Timoshenko's beam is used as the displacement on the element boundary. The reβconstitute method for shear strain matrix is adopted. The proposed element can be use
This paper proves the generalized compatibility of the boundary displacement pattern of the generalized conforming Β―at shell element with drilling degrees of freedom and the central line displacement pattern of the beam element with Hermite interpolation. According to the incremental equation of vir
