Journal ArticleDOI
Stress projection for membrane and shear locking in shell finite elements
Journal ArticleDOI
A C0 triangular plate element with one‐point quadrature
TL;DR: In this paper, an element de plaque triangulaire du type de Mindlin which utilises des champs lineaires for les rotations and les deflexions transversales is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A flat triangular shell element with improved membrane interpolation
TL;DR: In this article, an 18 degrees-of-freedom flat triangular shell element is formulated using the DKT bending element and a new membrane stress formulation, based on a degenerate linear strain triangle utilizing in-plane rotations at each node.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple triangular curved shell element
TL;DR: In this article, a simple triangular shell element which incorporates the effects of coupling between membrane and flexural behavior and avoids membrane locking is described, using a discrete Kirchhoff bending formulation and a constant strain membrane element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locking and shear scaling factors in C° bending elements
TL;DR: In this article, two types of locking are identified in linear field C° elements: locking caused by shear resistance in constant curvature deformation and in linear curvatures deformation, respectively.
