Abstract
AbstractTwo mixed‐interpolated general shell finite elements for non‐linear analysis‐a 9‐node element and a 16‐node element‐are presented. The elements are based on the Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Components (MITC) approach in which the covariant strain component fields for the in‐plane and shear actions are interpolated and tied to the also interpolated displacement field. Both the 9‐node element, referred to as the MITC9 element, and the 16‐node element, referred to as the MITC16 element, are tested numerically and found to have high predictive capabilities.
