This work is concerned with the isogeometric analysis of shells. A new hierarchic family of NURBS-based shell finite elements is developed. Besides a shear-rigid 3-parameter shell element formulation with Kirchhoff-Love kinematics, both a shear flexible 5-parameter Reissner-Mindlin-type and a 7-parameter 3D shell element which accounts for thickness change are derived. Compared to existing isogeometric shell elements the hierarchy showing up in the shell mechanics is transferred to the parameterization of the kinematic shell equations by gradually enhancing the minimalistic 3-parameter shell model with additional degrees of freedom in order to systematically increase the approximation quality of the shell formulation. This represents the k...
