The practice of verification of shell finite element formulations is discussed from a variety of
viewpoints: The provenance of benchmark target values, the suitability of benchmark …

In this paper a new reduced integration eight‐node solid‐shell finite element is presented.
The enhanced assumed strain (EAS) concept based on the Hu–Washizu variational …

In this work, solid-shell NURBS elements are developed in order to address static problems
of slender structures under small perturbations. A single layer of elements is considered …

In this paper, the earlier formulation of the SHB8PS finite element is revised in order to
eliminate some persistent membrane and shear locking phenomena. This new formulation …

This paper describes an eight‐node, assumed strain, solid‐shell, corotational element for
geometrically nonlinear structural analysis. The locally linear kinematics of the element is …

The manufacturing of composite structures can lead to material defects. Some of these
defects, due to their small size, can go undetected by current non-destructive testing …

A new solid-shell approach dedicated to thin to very thick structures is presented. Plate or
shell displacement fields are directly applied on a solid finite element model which contains …

The main objective of this paper is to provide a numerical approach to study thin sheet
metals involved in multiphysics manufacturing processes. The proposed approach also …

In this paper, a novel reduced integration eight‐node solid‐shell finite element formulation
with hourglass stabilization is proposed. The enhanced assumed strain method is adopted …

In this paper, we present the formulation of the SHB8PS element, its implementation into the
incremental, non‐linear and implicit calculation code Stanlax‐INCA and examples of …
