Abstract

A meshless implementation of arbitrary 3D-model based on a double directors shell element is developed in this work. The meshless technique is based on radial point interpolation method (RPIM) used for the construction of the shape functions for arbitrarily distributed nodes of the shell geometry. The high order shear deformation theory is adopted in this work in order to remove the shear correction coefficient. The convergence of the proposed model is compared to other well-known formulations found in the literature in order to outline the accuracy and performance of the present model.
