Though many'finite element'books exist, this book provides a unique focus on developing
the method for three-dimensional, industrial problems. This is significant as many methods …

A family of rotation-free three node triangular shell elements is presented. The simplest
element of the family is based on an assumed constant curvature field expressed in terms of …

In this paper, a shell element for small and large deformations is presented based on the
extension of the methodology to derive triangular shell element without rotational degrees of …

In this paper an assumed strain approach is presented in order to improve the membrane
behaviour of a thin shell triangular element. The so called Basic Shell Triangle (BST) has …

A non-linear finite element analysis is presented, for the elasto-plastic behavior of thick
shells and plates including the effect of large rotations. The shell constitutive equations …

This paper extends the capabilities of previous BST and EBST rotation‐free thin shell
elements to the analysis of kinked and branching surfaces. The computation of the curvature …

SUMMARY A new triangular thin‐shell finite element formulation is presented, which
employs only translational degrees of freedom. The formulation allows for large …

This paper presents a new method for cloth simulation, which uses asynchronous variants of
both time integration and collision handling. Implicit integration methods like backward Euler …

This paper extends a previous triangular prism solid element adequate to model shells
under large strains to become a solid-shell element, ie, that discretizations may include just …

Many engineering applications require accurate and rapidly computed thin-shell elements.
Rotation-free (RF) shell elements include the bending behaviour of thin shells without …
