Hi I’ve hesitated to add this link as it predates many of the features in deal.II that would have made the implementation a lot more elegant and simple. Nevertheless have a look at https://open.uct.ac.za/handle/11427/5552 <https://open.uct.ac.za/handle/11427/5552> It’s a fully nonlinear shell theory due to Simo & Fox implemented in deal.II.
There is no reason why you can’t implement Mindlin-Reissner plate theory in deal.II. I would start with Timoshenko beam theory and then build up to plates.
