finite element (FE) formulation based on higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT).
Effect of cross curvature is included in the formulation. The C0 finite element formulation has
been done quite efficiently to overcome the problem of C1 continuity associated with the
HSDT. The isoparametric FE used in the present model consists of nine nodes with seven
nodal unknowns per node. Since there are no results available in the literature based on …
