A finite shell element for large deformations is presented based on extensible director kinematics. The essential feature is an interface to arbitrary three-dimensional material laws. The nonlinear Lagrangian formulation is based on the three-field variational principle, parametrized with the displacement vector, enhanced Green-Lagrangian strain tensor and second Piola Kirchhoff stress tensor. A number of example problems describing large deformation as well as finite strain applications are presented. Compressible and incompressible hyperelastic materials of the St. Venant-Kirchhoff, neo-Hookean and Mooney-Rivlin type are particularly used.
