Which linear shell element (3,4 nodes) provides good accuracy for curved surfaces subjected to combined in-plane and bending loading?

There are elements which use shear stabilization, discrete Kirchhoff theory (DKT), mixed interpolation of tensorial components (MITC) etc. I wonder which one is most robust in avoiding locking?...

Is there information about thick-shell-stress-analysis element, which takes account of thermal stresses due to temperature variation along thickness?

The difference from the usual thick shell element is the bending effect produced by temperature gradient along thickness. In usual 3D stress analysis elements, this is considered as load vector...
