Provides essential theoretical tools for analyzing discontinuous finite element methods in shell mechanics, addressing a gap in the literature.
The authors prove Korn's inequalities for Naghdi and Koiter shell models on discontinuous piecewise function spaces, providing a theoretical foundation for discontinuous finite element methods for shells.
We prove Korn's inequalities for Naghdi and Koiter shell models defined on spaces of discontinuous piecewise functions. They are useful in study of discontinuous finite element methods for shells.
