Abstract

A four-node shell element suitable for modelling general shell configurations is presented. The proposed formulation succeeds in retaining the non-spurious contribution of the transverse shear/membrane strain energy to the flexural behaviour of the shell. In warped configurations, the element activates appropriate coupling mechanisms of the bending terms to nodal translations. The so obtained reformulated four node shell element exhibits an excellent behaviour without experiencing any locking phenomena or zero energy modes, performing equally well in flat, thin or thick, as well as in warped shell element applications
