The application of a curved, mixed-type shell element.The variational condition given by Herrmann (1967) for finite element bending analyses of plates is extended to general thin shell problems. Emphasis is laid upon shell behavior and, in particular, on boundary layers and inextensional bending. A study of the boundary layer problem on a cylindrical shell compares the refined element and the Herrmann-Campbell (1968) element. Some numerical results on cross-tube and mitred-bend problems are given.
