A special purpose element for shell-beam systems

This paper presents an isoparametric finite element for reinforced shells and plates. The formulation is based on general beam theory and takes into account both transverse shear deformation and torsional warping. The element exhibits complete two-line compatibility. Numerical examples are presented...

Summary:This paper presents an isoparametric finite element for reinforced shells and plates. The formulation is based on general beam theory and takes into account both transverse shear deformation and torsional warping. The element exhibits complete two-line compatibility. Numerical examples are presented in order to demonstrate the validity of the formulation and the possibilities of application.
