Title: Solid-Shell-Elements-with-Surface-Contact-Formula Download
 Description: Solid-shell elements form a class of fi nite element models intermediate between thin shell and conven- tional solid elements. They have the same node and freedomconfi guration of solid elements but account for shell-like behavior in the thickness direction. They are useful for modeling shell-like portions of a 3D structure without the need to connect solid element nodes to shell nodes. See Figure 1(a). This report presents in detail the derivation and computer implementation of an 8-node solid shell element called SS8. Most of the derivation follows the Assumed Natural Strain (ANS) method introduced by Park and Stanley [21] for doubly curved thin-shell elements and by Bathe and Dvorkin [2] forMindlin- Reissner plates.
