A geometrically nonlinear Cosserat shell model for orientable and non-orientable surfaces: Discretization with geometric finite elements
Lisa Julia Nebel, Oliver Sander, Mircea Bîrsan +1
We investigate discretizations of a geometrically nonlinear elastic Cosserat shell with nonplanar reference configuration originally introduced by Bîrsan, Ghiba, Martin, and Neff i…
A linear isotropic Cosserat shell model including terms up to . Existence and uniqueness
Ionel-Dumitrel Ghiba, Mircea Birsan, Patrizio Neff
In this paper we derive the linear elastic Cosserat shell model incorporating effects up to order in the shell thickness as a particular case of the recently introduce…
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…

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…
Derivation of a refined 6-parameter shell model: Descent from the three-dimensional Cosserat elasticity using a method of classical shell theory
Mircea Bîrsan
Starting from the three-dimensional Cosserat elasticity, we derive a two-dimensional model for isotropic elastic shells. For the dimensional reduction, we employ a derivation metho…
