Abstract
AbstractA finite element model for analysing static problems of three‐dimensional thin panel constructions is presented. The potential energy of stretching of each panel is represented by the classical Lagrange formulation of two‐dimensional elasticity and in the finite element discretization piecewise linear u, v displacements are used. The potential energy of bending of each panel is represented in the finite element discretization by Hellan and Herrmann's model, i.e. piecewise constant moments and piecewise linear w‐displacements are used. The physical appropriateness of the model is verified for different assemblages of panels, and in all cases good numerical results are obtained.
