Metric Implications in the Kinematics of Surfaces
Andre M. Sonnet, Epifanio G. Virga
In the direct approach to continua in reduced space dimensions, a thin shell is described as a mathematical surface in three-dimensional space. An exploratory kinematic study of su…

Neutral Deformation Modes of Minimal Surfaces
Ande M. Sonnet, Epifanio G. Virga
Stretching, drilling, and bending are the independent deformation modes of a thin shell, each of which has an individual energy content. When the energy content of a mode vanishes,…
