The geometry of the flow of forces and moments across a shell
Paper in proceeding, 2024
We describe the flow of forces and moments across a shell starting from the Günther-Schaefer stress functions for a Cosserat continuum in 3 dimensions and Schaefer’s concept of a Krustenschale or crust shell. We apply the idea of the flow of forces and moments to a shell in the shape of Enneper’s minimal surface.
