The basis of the present finite element formulation is the standard 8В–node brick element with triВ–linear shape functions. Especially for thin structures under certain loading cases the displacement based element is too stiff and tends to locking. Therefore we use assumed natural strain and enhanced assumed strain methods to improve the relative poor element behaviour. The anisotropic material behaviour of layered shells is modeled using a linear elastic orthotropic material law in each layer. Linear and nonlinear examples show the applicability and effectivity of the element formulation.
