Abstract

A one smoothing cell integration scheme in the strain smoothing technique in finite elements (referred as SFEM) was proposed to evaluate the nodal train fields of a four-node quadrilateral (Q4) shell element, which is based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate (FSDT). A mixed interpolation of tensorial components (MITC) approaches for Q4 transverse shear strains also applied to eliminate a shear locking phenomenon that may occur when the thin plate/shell elements are geometrically distorted in curved geometries of fabric sheet. The numerical eigenvalues of buckling analysis of a plain-woven fabric sample, of which physical and mechanical parameters extracted from Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics (KES-FB), obtained a higher efficiency in numerical computation and approximated to Q4 shell element implemented in the finite element method (FEM).
