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 method similar to that used in classical shell theory, as…

We consider the Cosserat continuum in its finite strain setting and discuss the dislocation density tensor as a possible alternative curvature strain measure in three-dimensional Cosserat models and in Cosserat shell models. We establish a…

Using a geometrically motivated 8-parameter ansatz through the thickness, we reduce a three-dimensional shell-like geometrically nonlinear Cosserat material to a fully two-dimensional shell model. Curvature effects are fully taken into…

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-parameter ansatz for the three-dimensional elastic shell…

We consider a recently introduced geometrically nonlinear elastic Cosserat shell model incorporating effects up to order $O(h^5)$ in the shell thickness $h$. We develop the corresponding geometrically nonlinear constrained Cosserat shell…

In this paper we derive the linear elastic Cosserat shell model incorporating effects up to order $O(h^5)$ in the shell thickness $h$ as a particular case of the recently introduced geometrically nonlinear elastic Cosserat shell model. The…

We propose bending energies for isotropic elastic plates and shells. For a plate, we define and employ a surface tensor that symmetrically couples stretch and curvature such that any elastic energy density constructed from its invariants is…

In this paper we linearise the recently introduced geometrically nonlinear constrained Cosserat-shell model. In the framework of the linear constrained Cosserat-shell model, we provide a comparison of our linear models with the classical…

Using $\Gamma$-convergence arguments, we construct a nonlinear membrane-like Cosserat shell model on a curvy reference configuration starting from a geometrically nonlinear, physically linear three-dimensional isotropic Cosserat model. Even…

Shells are ubiquitous thin structures that can undergo large nonlinear elastic deformations while exhibiting combined modes of bending and stretching, and have profound modern applications. In this paper, we have proposed a new Isogeometric…

We derive a class of two-dimensional shell energies for thin elastic bodies exhibiting small-length scale effects modeled via strain-gradient elasticity. Building on the final author's earlier work on plate models, the kinetic and stored…

In this paper we do a comparative presentation of the linear isotropic Cosserat elastic model from two perspectives: the classical Mindlin-Eringen-Nowacki description in terms of a microrotation vector and a new formulation in terms of a…

We derive stochastically-constrained Koiter shell models in line with the SALT (Stochastic Advection by Lie Transport) approach introduced by Holm [Proc. A. 471 (2015)]. First, we deduce the stochastic partial differential equations for the…

A rigid-plastic Cosserat model for slow frictional flow of granular materials, proposed by us in an earlier paper, has been used to analyze plane and cylindrical Couette flow. In this model, the hydrodynamic fields of a classical continuum…

We discuss several issues regarding material homogeneity and strain compatibility for materially uniform thin elastic shells from the viewpoint of a 3-dimensional theory, with small thickness, as well as a 2-dimensional Cosserat theory. A…

In this paper, we validate the main theorems establishing the justification of Koiter's model, established by Ciarlet and his associates, for all the types of linearly elastic shells via a set of numerical experiments.

We investigate discretizations of a geometrically nonlinear elastic Cosserat shell with nonplanar reference configuration originally introduced by B\^irsan, Ghiba, Martin, and Neff in 2019. The shell model includes curvature terms up to…

The choice of elastic energies for thin plates and shells is an unsettled issue with consequences for much recent modeling of soft matter. Through consideration of simple deformations of a thin body in the plane, we demonstrate that four…

Three general modes are distinguished in the deformation of a thin shell; these are stretching, drilling, and bending. Of these, the drilling mode is the one more likely to emerge in a soft matter shell (as compared to a hard, structural…

We derive stretching and bending energies for isotropic elastic plates and shells. Through the dimensional reduction of a bulk elastic energy quadratic in Biot strains, we obtain two-dimensional bending energies quadratic in bending…
