Abstract

Summary We present an approach for formulating efficient “3D-shell elements”, which are shell finite elements that feature the same external characteristics (geometry, shape functions) as standard 3D isoparametric elements. This makes the coupling with elements sharing the same outer surfaces straightforward. In addition, these 3D-shell elements can be used with a 3D variational formulation without modifying the constitutive equation, and they are much better adapted to large strain analysis than classical shell elements.
