Popis: Based on the theory of micropolar elasticity, new degenerated shell elements with drilling degree of freedoms are presented. The proper stiffness on the drilling degree of freedom is derived and no spurious modes are encountered in these elements. The implementation of these new shell elements on general structural finite element programs has many advantages, especially for the analysis of a folded shell or the treatment of the twist moment normal to the shell. Several numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the present elements. The effects of the coupling factor and the body moment induced in magneto-solid mechanics are also studied.
