Numerical solution of plate and shell problems
Prof. Terenzio Scapolla

We consider the numerical approximation of thin plate and
shell structures with hierarchic high order finite elements.
The plate bending problem is modelled following the
Reissner--Mindlin assumptions while the shell problem is
described using the Naghdi formulation.
After briefly analyzing the mathematical models suggested
for plate and shell problems, we deal with the numerical
approximation and show the results obtained with some
classes of special finite elements.
