Abstract
AbstractA diagonal lumped mas formulation with non−zero inertia terms is presented for Ahmad's general shell element. The effect of co−ordinate transformation of the mas matrix is demonstrated. Due to arbitray co−ordinate transformation on nodal variables, the diagonal lumped mas matrix becomes a banded matrix of half bandwidth three. It is shown that with some approximations this matrix can be made diagnoal without effecting the results appreciably. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy of the formulation. Similar lumped mass matrix formulation is also given for axisymmetric shell elements.
