Abstract
The predictions of the novel element are compared against analytical solutions, a classical axisymmetric shell element with polynomial shape functions and the ABAQUS S4R shell element in three problems of increasing complexity and practical relevance. The element displays excellent numerical results with only a fraction of the total degrees of freedom and involves virtually no mesh design. The shell theory employed at present is kept deliberately simple for illustration purposes, though the formulation will be extended in future work.
