| Abstract | The Hilbur-Hughes-Taylor method is implemented in XFINAS to analyze nonlinear dynamic shell problems. Two types of shell elements were made available for this purpose, an eight node co-rotational element developed by Kim (2002) and a new four-node shell element, XSHELL24. Two new shell elements with explicit tangent stiffness and internal force vector are developed, XSHELL20 and its extension, XSHELL24. The first has five degrees of freedom per node and the other has six degrees of freedom per node. Mass matrices were formulated for XSHELL24. One type was formed by lumping masses at the nodes and neglecting rotational inertia and the other was formed by the use of interpolation functions. Validation of the new shell elements was made through the patch test and various linear and nonlinear benchmarks. The two new shell elements provide reasonable results to most problems when compared with some standard four-node shell elements. The weaknesses of the two shell elements are also discussed. |
