Abstract The article proposes an Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) formulation for the linear static analysis of arbitrarily-shaped
shell structures subjected to general surface loads and boundary conditions. A parametrization of the physical
domain is provided by employing a set of curvilinear principal coordinates. The generalized blending methodology
accounts for a distortion of the structure so that disparate geometries can be considered. Each layer of the stacking
sequence has an arbitrary orientation and is modelled as a generally anisotropic continuum. In addition, re-entrant
auxetic three-dimensional honeycomb cells with soft-core behaviour are considered in the model. The unknown
variables are described employing a… More >
