INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
FE equations based on Reissner-Mindlin plate theory will be developed.
FE equations of shells will be formulated by superimposing matrices of plates and that of 2D solids.
Computationally tedious due to more DOFs.
PLATE ELEMENTSPLATE ELEMENTS
Geometrically similar to 2D plane stress solids except that it carries only transverse loads. Leads to bending.
2D equivalent of the beam element. Rectangular plate elements based on Reissner-
Mindlin plate theory will be developed – conforming element.
Many software like ABAQUS do not offer plate elements, only the general shell element.

SHELL ELEMENTSSHELL ELEMENTS
Loads in all directions Bending, twisting and in-plane deformation Combination of 2D solid elements (membrane
effects) and plate elements (bending effect). Common to use shell elements to model plate
structures in commercial software packages.

RemarksRemarks
The membrane effects are assumed to be uncoupled with the bending effects in the element level.
This implies that the membrane forces will not result in any bending deformation, and vice versa.
For shell structure in space, membrane and bending effects are actually coupled (especially for large curvature), therefore finer element mesh may have to be used.
