ESL Based Cylindrical Shell Elements with Hierarchical Shape Functions for Laminated Composite Shells
We introduce higher-order cylindrical shell element based on ESL (equivalent single-layer) theory for the analysis of laminated composite shells. The proposed elements are formulated by the dimensional reduction technique from three-dimensional solid to two-dimensional cylindrical surface with plane...
