Abstract
We present a novel mesh-based method for simulating the intricate dynamics of (potentially multi-layered) continuum thick shells. In order to accurately represent the constitutive behavior of structural responses in the thickness direction, we develop a dual-quadrature prism finite element formulation that is free from shear locking and naturally incorporates three-dimensional elastoplastic and viscoelastic constitutive models. Additionally, we introduce a simple and effective technique for coupling a high-resolution membrane layer on top of the thick shell to enable complementary high-frequency deformation modes that generate realistic wrinkles. With our novelly designed sparse basis vectors for the high-frequency deformations, the constrained Lagrangian mechanics problem is expressed as an unconstrained optimization and then efficiently solved by a custom alternating minimization technique. Our method opens up a new possibility for fast, high-quality, and thickness-aware simulations of leather garments, pillows, mats, metal boards, and potentially a variety of other thick structures.

A 4-noded hybrid stress element with optimized stress for moderately thick and thin shallow shells
In this paper, a 4-noded hybrid stress finite element is developed for arbitrary plates and shallow shells. The finite element formulation is derived from the Hellinger-Reissner functional. In the process of the element derivation, the optimization ...
The transition from moderately thick shells to thick shells of general shape by using finite element analysis
Two types of shell bending elements are presented for the analysis of both moderately thick and thick shells of general shape. The first is a 2-D curved trapezoidal finite element with eight nodes, and it is based on a formulation that includes ...
