The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Phantom-node method for shell models with arbitrary cracks (2012, background): “Unfortunately, the displacement based elements are too stiff in bending-dominated shell problems when the thickness is small, leading to locking phenomena [25,30].”
The MITC3 shell finite element enriched by interpolation covers (2014, background): “Within stress layers, the displacements vary rapidly and induce concentrations of strain energies [11,12].”
Modeling of Composite Shells in 6–Parameter Nonlinear Theory with Drilling Degree of Freedom (2011, background): “The authors of [61] recommended this example as a good benchmark problem to test shell elements in the context of bending dominated problems.”
