Abstract:A family of linear and quadratic assumed-strain based solid-shell elements (SHB) is presented in this paper to simulate 3D thin structural problems including both quasi-static and dynamic analyses. The SHB solid-shell elements are based on a three-dimensional formulation, with only displacements as degrees of freedom, and a reduced integration technique with an arbitrary number of integration points along the thickness direction, which enables them to model 3D thin structures with only one layer of elements th… Show more
