In the present study, we propose a computational model for the linear and nonlinear analysis of shell structures. We consider a tensor-based finite element form

This book presents a method which is capable of evaluating the deformation characteristics of thin shell structures A free vibration analysis is chosen as a con

The authors present a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite element proc
