Abstract

Shell finite elements have been one of the most difficult to formulate. Bending and membrane actions are present, and both shear and membrane locking may occur. If the element is plane, bending and membrane effects are uncoupled, and the shell element is formed by the assembly of plate and membrane elements. According to Zienkiewicz et al., this was proposed in early the 60's, but its success was hampered by the lack of good triangular plate elements. In a previous paper we discussed the formulation of discrete triangular plate elements. In this paper we use discrete plate elements to form flat shells. Membrane and shear locking are studied, and further discussions on discrete plate elements are made.
