Isogeometric degenerated shell with anti-shear and anti-membrane locking using assumed strain

Key Points

• Locking mechanisms improve the performance of shelled structures through advanced strain assumptions.
• Numerical methods demonstrate enhanced accuracy in modeling shell behavior under various conditions.
• The use of isogeometric analysis allows for better integration of geometry and analysis through computational techniques.
• Implications highlight the need for further studies on shell deformation and stability.
