Abstract

The present paper deals with the analysis of the behaviour and performance of a reformulated four-node shell element. The flexural behaviour of the reformulated C⁰ shell element is influenced critically by the activation of the moment redistribution mechanism of the shell model. This mechanism may be triggered by the in-plane twisting stiffness of the shell element through the tangential edge shear strain components of the model. Triggering the moment redistribution mechanism is dominated, however, by the flexural membrane action and/or an equivalent elastic foundation action of the shell model, through the membrane strain components of the shell element. This behaviour allows for a systematic analysis of the load carrying mechanisms developing by the finite element model.
