Simultaneous analysis of curved Kirchhoff beams and Kirchhoff--Love shells embedded in bulk domains
Jonas Neumeyer, Michael Wolfgang Kaiser, Thomas-Peter Fries
A set of curved beams and shells is geometrically implied by level sets of a scalar function over some bulk domain. The mechanical model for each structure is based on the Kirchhof…

Higher-order, mixed-hybrid finite elements for Kirchhoff-Love shells
Jonas Neumeyer, Michael Wolfgang Kaiser, Thomas-Peter Fries
A novel mixed-hybrid method for Kirchhoff-Love shells is proposed that enables the use of classical, possibly higher-order Lagrange elements in numerical analyses. In contrast to p…
