The isotropic Cosserat shell model including terms up to $O(h^5)$. 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 $O(h^5)$ in the shell thickness $h$. The method that we follow is an educated 8-para…
