Abstract

A new quadrature scheme and a family of hierarchical assumed strain elements have been developed to enhance the performance of the displacement-based hierarchical shell elements. Various linear iterative procedures have been examined for their suitability to solve system of equations resulting from hierarchic shell formulations.
