We present formulations for compressible and incompressible hyperelastic thin shells which
can use general 3D constitutive models. The necessary plane stress condition is enforced …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is an extensively exercised numerical procedure to address
numerous problems in several engineering fields. However, the accuracy of conventional …

In this paper, we investigate fracture in shells with a phase-field modeling approach. The
shell model is based on solid-shell kinematics with small rotations and displacements and is …

In this paper we address the extension of a recently proposed reduced integration eight‐
node solid‐shell finite element to large deformations. The element requires only one …

In this paper a new reduced integration eight‐node solid‐shell finite element is presented.
The enhanced assumed strain (EAS) concept based on the Hu–Washizu variational …

Accuracy and efficiency are the main features expected in finite element method. In the field
of low‐order formulations, the treatment of locking phenomena is crucial to prevent poor …

In this work the recently proposed Reduced Enhanced Solid‐Shell (RESS) finite element,
based on the enhanced assumed strain (EAS) method and a one‐point quadrature …

In isogeometric analysis (IGA), the functions used to describe the CAD geometry (such as
NURBS) are also employed, in an isoparametric fashion, for the approximation of the …

In this work, a recently proposed quadratic NURBS-based solid-shell element based on the
Assumed Natural Strain (ANS) method is applied in the analysis of shell-like structures in the …

We present a novel geometrically nonlinear EAS element with several desirable features.
First, a Petrov–Galerkin ansatz significantly improves the element's performance in distorted …
