On in-plane drill rotations for Cosserat surfaces
Abstract
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 over the same domain are impossible provided that the rotations are fixed at a portion of the boundary. Put otherwise, if the tangent vectors of the new surface are obtained locally by only rotating the given tangent vectors, and if these rotations have a rotation axis which coincides everywhere with the normal of the initial surface, then the two surfaces are equal provided they coincide at a portion of the boundary. In the language of differential geometry of surfaces we show that any isometry which leaves normals invariant and which coincides with the given surface at a portion of the boundary, is the identity mapping.
