Co-rotational 3D shell element using quaternion algebra to account for large rotations: Static and dynamic applications

This paper presents a new co-rotational shell element based on quaternion algebra as a means of parameterizing large rotations. The co-rotational framework is suitable for beam or shell elements and has been extensively studied in the literature. It is based on a decomposition between rigid body mot...
