Abstract
The paper deals with the validation of a recently proposed hexahedral solid-shell finite element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The object of this work is to study the transverse shear as well as enhanced incompatible modes introduced to improve the in-plane deformation using the Enhanced Assumed Strain (EAS) solid shell element. The EAS three-dimensional finite element formulation presented in this paper is free from shear locking and leads to accurate results for distorted element shapes.KeywordsLaminated composite structuresSolid-shell finite elementshear locking
