Explicit formula for the Gamma-convergence homogenized quadratic curvature energy in isotropic Cosserat shell models
We show how to explicitly compute the homogenized curvature energy appearing in the isotropic $Γ$-limit for flat and for curved initial configuration Cosserat shell models, when a parental three-dimensional minimization problem on $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ for a Cosserat energy based on the second order dislocation density tensor $α:=\overline{R} ^T {\rm Curl}\,\overline{R} \in \mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$, $\overline{R}\in {\rm SO}(3)$ is used.
