Finite element semidiscrete approximations on nonlinear dynamic shallow shell models in considered. It is shown that the algorithm leads to global, optimal rates of convergence. The result presented in the paper improves upon the existing literature where the rates of convergence were derived for small initial data only [19].
We consider a family of shell finite elements with quadratic displacements across the thickness. These elements are very attractive, but compared to standard general shell elements they face another source of numerical locking in addition to shear and membrane locking. This additional locking phenomenon – that we call “pinching locking” – is the subject of this paper and we analyse a numerical strategy designed to overcome this difficulty. Using a model problem in which only this specific source...

Les équations bidimensionnelles d'une coque non linéairement élastique «en flexion» ont été récemment justifiées par V. Lods et B. Miara par la méthode des développements asymptotiques formels appliquée aux équations de l'élasticité non linéaire tridimensionnelle. Ces équations se mettent sous la forme d'un problème de point critique d'une fonctionnelle dont l'intégrande est une expression quadratique en termes de la différence exacte entre les tenseurs de courbure des surfaces déformée et non déformée,...
We consider variational problems of P. D. E. depending on a small parameter when the limit process implies vanishing of the higher order terms. The perturbation problem is said to be sensitive when the energy space of the limit problem is out of the distribution space, so that the limit problem is out of classical theory of P. D. E. We present here a review of the subject, including abstract convergence theorems and two very different model problems (the second one is presented for the first...
