Constitutive law for loading plane membrane and shell elements:
This law is used for mechanical analysis of membranes and shells, loaded by uniform pressure and shear, normal and tangential to the mid line $\xi$ at any moment.
Loading can be driven either by force multiplicator (MULTF) or displacement multiplicator (MULTD).
