Abstract
The need for efficient plate and shell elements is critical for solving large scale industrial problems such as the analysis of civil engineering shell structures, vehicle crash-worthiness situations and sheet stamping processes. The derivation of simple triangles capable of accurately representing the shell deformation under complex loading conditions is still nowadays the objective of intensive research.
