SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 36, No. 1 (Nov., 1998 - Jan., 1999), pp. 32-73 (42 pages) We consider the design of finite element methods for the Naghdi shell model in the case when the ...
Watch out — You can get different results depending on how you mesh the model. Second-order shell elements: Meshing the thin band with secondorder-shell elements produces precise curvilinear geometry.
