  • Abstract
    After identifying the reason for the numerical difficulty associated with the treatment of shell type potential problems by standard FEM, the paper introduces the gap-jump-float (GJF) method, an extension of gap element method (GEM), which eliminates the ill-posedness for arbitrary σi. The applied float and jump functions are linear combinations of conventional shape functions
