A doubly-curved finite element analysis of thin arbitrary shell structures

This paper is concerned with the linear elastic static analysis of thin arbitrary shell structures by the use of the displacement approach finite element method. The various factors involved in selecting a shell finite element are discussed. A comprehensive formulation of a 27 degree of freedom, ar...
