[en] Fast and efficient simulations of shell structures are required in a
wide range of engineering fields such as fluid-structure interaction
and structural optimisation. Because of its expressive high-level form
language UFL the FEniCS project is in an ideal position to tackle tough
problems such as large deformations of non-isotropic shells. In this
talk we will discuss some aspects of achieving this goal; generalised
mixed formulations, reduction and projection operators for eliminating
shear and membrane locking, the general shell model vs classical
models and the recent work by Rognes et al. on manifolds.
