Abstract
An efficient four-node quadrilateral (Q4) shell element based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate (FSDT) and the strain smoothing technique in finite elements (referred as SFEM) was proposed for eigenvalue analysis of plain-woven fabric structure. A one smoothing domain (or cell) integration scheme in SFEM was proposed to evaluate the nodal train fields of Q4 shell elements. The numerical result of eigenvalue analysis, which was in the case of free vibration analysis, approximated to that one implemented in the finite element method (FEM) but gave a higher efficiency in computation in terms of central processing unit (CPU) time and numerical implementation.
