Abstract

We investigate the static deformation of cylindrical elastic shells, using the theory of Cosserat surfaces. We consider anisotropic and inhomogeneous cylindrical shells with arbitrary (open or closed) cross-section. The constitutive coefficients are assumed to be independent of the axial coordinate. In the context of linearized theory, we determine a solution of the relaxed Saint–Venant’s problem. Finally, we apply the general results in the special cases of circular cylindrical shells and of Cosserat plates made from an orthotropic material.
