Abstract

A linear integrally stiffened shell finite element comprising a nine-node shell element and a three-noded open section thin walled beam stiffener finite element is developed and explained. The stiffener is consistent with the shell element developed by Kebari and Cassel and resists extensional, flexural, shear and torsional deformations. Any number of such stiffener elements may lie across any part of the host shell finite element without altering the individual stiffener and shell element properties. By placing no restriction on the stiffener layout, the integrally stiffened shell element enables considerable reduction in mesh density, complexity and related computational costs. A series of numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the element.
