Abstract

In this paper, we propose, for the isogeometric analysis, a shell model based on a degenerated three dimensional approach. It uses a first order kinematic description in the thickness with transverse shear (Reissner-Mindlin theory). We examine various approaches to describe the geometry and compare them on various linear and non-linear benchmark problems. Both geometric and material non-linearities are treated. The obtained results are compared with the solutions of isogeometric solid model and with other numerical solutions found in the literature.
