| Abstract | The s-version of finite element method is developed for laminated plates and shells. By this technique the global domain is idealized using 2D Equivalent Single Layer model. The regions where ESL model errs badly in capturing localized phenomena are superimposed by a stack of 3D elements. Assumed strain formulation and selective polynomial order escalation in the two models as well as fast iterative procedures are employed to maintain high level of computational efficiency. |
