Abstract The efficiency of a field‐consistent two‐noded linear curved axisymmetric shear‐flexible shell element is shown to be due to the removal of both shear and membrane locking. Typical applications illustrate how the field‐consistent representation dramatically improves performance, and allows greater flexibility in tailoring element design to satisfy specific problem needs.
