Abstract

The conventional ten-node C0 triangular shell element is in general too stiff. In this paper, several less stiff formulations are proposed. To reduce the transverse shear stiffness, the assumed strain method is adopted. On the other hand, both assumed strain method and hybrid destabilization are employed for softening the membrane stiffness. The improvement is validated by popular numerical problems.
