Improved formulation for the stabilized enhanced strain solid-shell element (SHB8PS): geometric linear and nonlinear app...
In this study, the formulation of the SHB8PS solid-shell element is reviewed in order to eliminate some persistent membrane and shear locking phenomena. The resulting physically stabilized and locking-free finite element consists in a continuum mechanics shell element based on a purely three-dimensional formulation. In fact, this is a hexahedral el...
