Evaluation of shear and membrane locking in refined hierarchical shell finite elements for laminated structures

Abstract Shear and membrane locking phenomena are fundamental issues of shell finite element models. A family of refined shell elements for laminated structures has been developed in the framework of Carrera Unified Formulation, including hierarchical elements based on higher-order Legendre polynomi...
