About this document
Triangular Six-Node Shell Element Analysis by Luc Besse is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a new triangular six-node shell element that is an improvement over a previously published element. The new element is formulated using the MITC procedure, which results in an element that is spatially isotropic, passes membrane and bending patch tests, contains no spurious zero energy modes, and is formulated without an artificial constant. Benchmark tests on membrane-dominated and bending-dominated shell problems show the effectiveness and convergence behavior of the new element.
