Robustness of Hierarchical Laminated Shell Element Based on Equivalent Single-Layer Theory

This paper deals with the hierarchical laminated shell elements with nonsensitivity to adverse conditions for linear static analysis of cylindrical problems. Displacement approximation of the elements is established by high-order shape functions using the integrals of Legendre polynomials to ensure...
