About this document
Simple Triangular Shell Element Analysis by zwozniak is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a simple triangular shell element for linear and nonlinear analysis of general shell structures. The element uses 3 nodes with 6 degrees of freedom per node. Its stiffness matrix is obtained by superimposing membrane, bending, and rotational stiffness matrices. An updated Lagrangian formulation allows for large displacement analysis. The element is demonstrated to provide accurate solutions for various linear and nonlinear problems while being computationally efficient.
