- Novel formulation for optimal shell finite elements providing effective resolution of various locking phenomena, which notoriously lead to poor prediction accuracy. Approach leads to new family of elements with comparable or superior performance to most widely used MITC family. Formulation implemented in ADAPTIC has been essential for several PhD studies at Imperial. Together with the recently developed partitioned modelling capability (doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)CP.1943-5487.0000633) it has been crucial for industrial INFLOAT project funded (£350k) jointly by WorleyParsons and POSCO (FoEREF@ic.ac.uk), leading to filing of patent (GB1816876.5) on sandwich steel decks and award of Telford Premium prize for related application paper (https://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/pdf/10.1680/jencm.2020.173.1.45).
