The current contribution proposes two quadratic, prismatic and hexahedral, solid–shell elements for the geometric nonlinear analysis of laminated composite structures. The formulation of the proposed solid–shell elements is based on a fully three-dimensional approach combining the assumed-strain method and the reduced-integration technique. In part...
A family of prismatic and hexahedral solid–shell (SHB) elements, with their linear and quadratic versions, is proposed in this work to model thin structures. The formulation of these SHB elements is extended to explicit dynamic analysis and large-strain anisotropic plasticity on the basis of a fully three-dimensional approach using an arbitrary num...

The current contribution proposes a six-node prismatic solid-shell denoted as (SHB6). The formulation is extended to geometric and material non-linearities, and focus will be placed on its validation on non-linear benchmark problems. The resulting derivation only involves displacement DOF, as it is based on a fully 3D approach. The motivation behin...

Because accuracy and efficiency are the main features expected within the finite element (FE) method, the current contribution proposes a six-node prismatic solid–shell, denoted (SHB6). The formulation is extended here to geometric and material nonlinearities, and focus will be placed on its validation on nonlinear benchmark problems. This type of ...

In this paper, the formulation of a new six-node solid–shell element denoted (SHB6) is proposed. This prismatic element is based on a purely three-dimensional approach, and hence has displacements as the only degrees of freedom. A reduced integration scheme is adopted consisting of one-point in-plane quadrature and an arbitrary number of integratio...
