CURVATURE
Curvature is the amount by which a geometric object deviates from being flat, or straight
in the case of a line. Curvature of a surface ( 1/ R ) at a point depends on the direction
of a curve through the point.
Curvature: c( )ne
Principal curvatures: 1 1( , )n and 2 2( , )n such that n n
Gaussian curvature: 1 2det[ ]K
Mean curvature: 1 21 1 1: ( )2 2 2n

Curvature concept has many somewhat different aspects and the related definitions!

VOLUME AND SURFACE ELEMENTS OF SHEL L
In virtual work expression, volume and surface elements of the body dV and dA need to
be expressed in terms of the midsurface area and boundary elements d , d and
thickness element dn . The expressions depend on scaling factors according to:

assume symmetry of stress which is taken just as the local form of the momentequilibrium of the 3D elasticity.
Volume and area forces contribute to the virtual work of external forces (we omit the
distributed moments although they make sense in the formulation). The surface
contribution needs to be divided into parts coming from the outer and inner surfaces
