A refined non-conforming triangular plate/shell element for linear and geometrically nonlinear analysis of plates and shells is developed in this paper based on the refined non-conforming element method (RNEM). A conforming triangle membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom in Cartesian coordinates and the refined non-conforming triangular plate-bending element RT9, in which Kirchhoff kinematic assumption was adopted, are used to construct the present element. The displacement continuity condition along the interelement boundary is satisfied in an average sense for plate analysis, and the coupled displacement continuity requirement at the interelement is satisfied in an average sense, thereby improving the performance of the element for shell analysis. Selectively reduced integration with stabilization scheme is employed in this paper to avoid membrane locking. Numerical examples demonstrate that the present element behaves quite satisfactorily either for the linear analysis of plate bending problems and plane problems or for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin plates and shells with large displacement, moderate rotation but small strain.
