Journal Article
Valente, R. A., Cardoso, R. P., & Yoon, J. W. (2006). A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 66(2), 214-249. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.1548

In the last decade, one-point quadrature shell elements attracted many academic and industrial researchers because of their computational performance, especially if applied for explicit finite element simulations. Nowadays, one-point quadrature finit... Read More about A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation.
