Abstract
We obtain estimates for the consistency errors arising in general shell element procedures, which are widely used in engineering practice. These estimates improve a previous result by the same authors. Moreover, numerical experiments indicate that these new estimates are optimal. Further, we introduce a modified procedure for which nominal convergence is recovered. These results are of much practical significance.
