On in-plane drill rotations for Cosserat surfaces
Maryam Mohammadi Saem, Peter Lewintan, Patrizio Neff
We show under some natural smoothness assumptions that pure in-plane drill rotations as deformation mappings of a -smooth regular shell surface to another one parametrized ove…
Korn inequalities for incompatible tensor fields in three space dimensions with conformally invariant dislocation energy
Peter Lewintan, Stefan Müller, Patrizio Neff
Let be an open and bounded set with Lipschitz boundary and outward unit normal . For we establish an improved version of the generalized $L^…
A constrained Cosserat shell model up to order : Modelling, existence of minimizers, relations to classical shell models and scaling invariance of the bending tensor
Ionel-Dumitrel Ghiba, Mircea Bîrsan, Peter Lewintan +1
We consider a recently introduced geometrically nonlinear elastic Cosserat shell model incorporating effects up to order in the shell thickness . We develop the corresp…
The isotropic Cosserat shell model including terms up to . Part II: Existence of minimizers
Ionel-Dumitrel Ghiba, Mircea Bîrsan, Peter Lewintan +1
We show the existence of global minimizers for a geometrically nonlinear isotropic elastic Cosserat 6-parameter shell model. The proof of the main theorem is based on the direct me…
The isotropic Cosserat shell model including terms up to . Part I: Derivation in matrix notation
Ionel-Dumitrel Ghiba, Mircea Bîrsan, Peter Lewintan +1
We present a new geometrically nonlinear Cosserat shell model incorporating effects up to order in the shell thickness . The method that we follow is an educated 8-para…
