Description

Laminated thick shell with geometrically exact kinematics, with 4 nodes.

It generalizes the Reissner thick shell theory (in fact each layer requires a ChMaterialShellReissner) by using the Chroscielewski 6-dof field shell theory as discussed in:

Wojciech Witkowski, "4-Node combined shell element with semi-EAS-ANS strain interpolations in 6-parameter shell theories with drilling degrees of freedom", Comp.Mech 2009.

This specific implementation is based on the paper:

Marco Morandini, Pierangelo Masarati, "Implementation and validation of a 4-node shell finite element", IDETC/CIE 2014.

The node numbering is in ccw fashion as in the following scheme:

        v
        ^
        |
D o-----+-----o C
  |     |     |
--+-----+-----+----> u
  |     |     |
A o-----+-----o B
