An isogeometric solid-like shell element for nonlinear analysis. (English) Zbl 1352.74362

Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 95, No. 3, 238-256 (2013).
Summary: An isogeometric solid-like shell formulation is proposed in which B-spline basis functions are used to construct the mid-surface of the shell. In combination with a linear Lagrange shape function in the thickness direction, this yields a complete three-dimensional representation of the shell. The proposed shell element is implemented in a standard finite element code using Bézier extraction. The formulation is verified using different benchmark tests.
