Abstract
In this paper, a simple linear two-noded C**0 continuous thick curved beam element based on a curvilinear deep shell theory is derived free from shear and membrane locking. Lack of consistency in the shear and membrane strain-field interpolations in their constrained physical limits (Kirchhoff and inextensional bending limits, respectively) causes very poor convergence due to locking and severe spurious oscillations in stress predictions. Error estimates for these are made and verified. Field-consistent strain interpolations remove these errors and produce the most efficient linear element possible.
