A semi-membrane ring element for the linear-elastic stress analysis of pipe elbows under in-plane bending

A semi-membrane deformation ring element is presented. The displacement field involves a combination of first degree interpolation polynomials for the longitudinal direction and Fourier series in the meridional or transverse section. The possible boundary conditions for these kind of shells, namely...
