Abstract
A numerical model for layered composite structures based on a geometrical nonlinear shell theory is presented. The kinematic is based on a multi-director theory, thus the in-plane displacements of each layer are described by independent director vectors. Using the isoparametric apporach a finite element formulation for quadrilaterals is developed. Continuity of the interlaminar shear stresses is obtained within the nonlinear solution process. Several examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the developed numerical model.
