Abstract
A simple flat three-node triangular shell element for linear and nonlinear analysis is presented. The element stiffness matrix with 6 degrees-of-freedom per node is obtained by superimposing its bending and membrane stiffness matrices. An updated Lagrangian formulation is used for large displacement analysis. The application of the element to the analysis of various linear and nonlinear problems is demonstrated.
