An evaluation is undertaken of currently used discretization procedures in numerical analysis of structures. Emphasis is on the nonlinear behavior of thin shell

The authors present a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite element proc
