Abstract
AbstractA flat shell element which utilizes the linear strain triangle (LST) for membrane representation and a plate‐bending element labelled DKL (for discrete Kirchhoff element with Loof nodes) previously derived by the authors in Reference 1, is presented. This element is free from the deficiencies of displacement incompatibility, singularity with coplanar elements, inability to model intersections and low order membrane strain representation, which are associated with existing faceted shell elements. The results of the numerical examples indicate that the convergence characteristics of this element are good.
