An 8-Node Solid-Shell Finite Element based on Assumed Bending ‎Strains and Cell-Based Smoothed Membrane Strains for Static Analysis of Plates and Shells

In this paper, a new 8-node solid-shell finite element is proposed. The transverse shear strains and transverse normal strains of the element are separately interpolated and related to the C0-displacement approximation at tying points to overcome the shear- and trapezoidal-locking phenomena. From th...
