Over the past decade or so much has been written on the various attempts to produce efficient, accurate and reliable Mindlin plate finite elements. In the late sixties, a degenerated, Mindlin-type, curved shell element was developed and subsequently many improvements in such elements have been made. Reliability and efficiency in use has always been a major objective. Degenerated shell elements have enjoyed widespread popularity despite certain potential defects, including shear and membrane lock- ing behaviour and spurious mechanisms. After introducing the basic foundations of Mindlin-type elements, this book describes these defects and also gives the reasons for their occurrence. Furthermore, the author proposes an approach to overcome these defects. A series of linear benchmark tests are proposed to illustrate the performance of the assumed strain element formulations. The formula- tions and applications for material non-linearity are also presented. Both isotropic and anisotropic material models are included together with the results for both static and transient dynamic analyses. Two associated programs are fully documented and provided on floppy discs with test examples. Source codes for the two associated programs are provided: one is for static analysis and the other for dynamic analysis, and the programs can be compiled and run on either a mini or mainframe coniputer via a terminal. The author hopes that this book may provide further impetus in the important research area of plate and shell element technology.

This book illustrates the element technology of plates and shells and compares and contrasts the behaviour of current plate and shell elements for thick and thin shell theories as well as for static and transient dynamic analyses. It also highlights the locking phenomenon experienced by most of the currently available elements and introduces a strategy for avoiding this phenomenon. In addition, the book provides the necessary benchmark tests for plate and shell elements. The book will be useful for undergraduates since all fundamental theories are included. It should also be useful for structural engineers in order to understand shell stress analyses. They would be particularly interested in the shear forces in plate and shell structures where most elements are seen to produce poor results. For postgraduates and researchers in this field, the book will be most helpful. Many research workers have been studying shell element technology for two decades. Consequently, plate and shell element design is still an active area. Two associated programmes are provided with the book. One is for static analysis and the other for dynamic analysis. The programmes can be compiled and run on either a mini or a mainframe computer via a terminal.
