• Resumen

  • The formulation of general shell elements using the method of mixed interpolation of tensorial components (MITC) is reviewed. In particular three elements that were formulated using the MITC method are examined: the MITC4 and MITC8 that were developed for general nonlinear analysis under the restriction of small strains and the MITC4-TLH that was developed for finite strain elasto-plastic analysis of shells.
