Four-Node Quadrilateral Shell Element MITC4

Abstract:

Four-node quadrilateral element MITC4 applicable to both thick and thin shells is presented. The element formulation starts from three-dimensional continuum description degenerated to shell behavior. Shear locking, which is common problem in analysis of thin shells, is overcome by the use of MITC (Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Components) approach. Element has been implemented into finite element code OOFEM and its performance is demonstrated on Scordelis-Lo shell, a benchmark problem frequently used in the evaluation of shell elements.
