Abstract
In order to improve the performance of a four-node shell element in bending, the transverse shear energy and stiffness must be treated in a special way. The two main problems are the transverse shear locking (TSL) and the poor performance of very thin elements. These problems also appear for beams, which are simpler and more suitable for analytical studies.
