SHEAR DEFORMABLE SHELL ELEMENT FOR LAMINATED COMPOSITES. Conference Paper

abstract

• A three-dimensional element based on the total Lagrangian description of the motion of a layered anisotropic composite medium is developed, validated, and used to analyze layered composite shells. The element contains the following features: geometric nonlinearity, dynamic (transient) behavior, and arbitrary lamination scheme. Numerical results of nonlinear bending, natural vibration, and transient response are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the element.
