Abstract
This study presents a transient non-linear finite element analysis wit hin the realm of a multibody dynamics formalism. The governing equatio ns are derived using the concept of virtual work. Unlike others, this analysis includes the non-linear strain measure and rotation explicitl y in order to capture the correct dynamic stiffening in anisotropic sh ells. The finite element analysis invokes the co-rotational form of th e updated Lagrangian formulation and utilizes a flat shell element.
