Description
The nonlinear four node shell element, based on degenerated continuum concept is used in finite rotation shell analysis. Shell director rotation is described by elementary rotations dependant on two angles. Explicit integration through the thickness is performed, leading to the strain tensor, which includes coupling of curvature with displacements. Shell kinematics is consistently linearized. Typical benchmark tests are provided to illustrate the approach. (author)
