An improved quadrilateral shell element based on the Hu–Washizu functional
Abstract In this paper a robust and effective 4-node shell element for the structural analysis of thin structures is described. A Hu–Washizu functional with independent displacements, stress resultants and shell strains is the variational basis of the theory. Based on a previous paper an additional...
