The available documentation on Within the formulation of *layered shell elements is provided in the {new-tab-link:http://www.csiberkeley.com/}CSI{new-tab-link} [_Analysis Reference Manual_|doc:CSI Analysis Reference Manual]. Straight element*, straight normals remain straight, enforcing full composite behavior between the layers. Straight normals do not necessarily remain normal to the mid-surface, allowing transverse shear deformation. QuadraticFor displacementmembrane fieldsand arebending assumedbehavior, forquadratic membranedisplacement andfields bendingare behavior,assumed with appropriate handling to prevent [shear locking]. Plane-stress behavior is assumed inwithin each layer.
