Abstract
AbstractAn adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) procedure is used in static thin shell analysis using triangular facet shell elements. The procedure described herein uses the h‐version of adaptive refinement based on an error estimate determined by using the best guess values of bending moments and membrane forces obtained from a previous solution. It includes the use of a relaxation factor to achieve better convergence. Some examples are presented to illustrate this method. The results obtained are compared with those of uniform mesh refinement (UMR).
