Summary
A triangular curved shell element is considered, which is based on the constant strain and the constant moment triangle. Transverse shear deformations can be taken into account. In this paper the main attention is on a finite rotation formulation for this shell element, that permits arbitrarily large rotational increments. A key role in this formulation is played by several unit vectors that are attached to each element side.
