In this paper, we study the convergence of nonconforming finite element method for the approximation of general thin shell problems. We give sufficient conditions of convergence for a large class of finite elements, then we estimate the error on the displacements and on the stresses.Ri~sumi~. Dans cet article, nous 6tudions la convergence des m+thodes d'616ments finis nonconformes pour l'approximation des probl6mes de coques minces g6n6rales. Nous 6tablissons des conditions suffisantes de convergence pour une large classe d'616ments finis, puis nous donnons des estimations de l'erreur sur les d6placements et les contraintes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
