Micro Abstract:
In this contribution the SBFEM is used to analyse axisymmetric shell structures. A simplified plane
strain arch formulation to approximate a cylindrical shell will be presented. This approximation
already shows a high correlation with the membrane theory of shells. Furthermore, first results obtained
for a 3D shell formulation used to analyse an axisymmetric spherical shell will illustrate the
potential of the SBFEM to minimize locking effects when modelling shell structures.
