Abstract

In this paper, we give a method to compute the generalized elasticity coefficients including coupling terms which appear in thin shell theory when the material is heterogeneous. A new program to compute this coe icients is implemented in the finite element code Modulef. As an example we consider an inhibited bilayered thin shell with hyperbolic middle surface involving a composite material with unidirectional fibres. We observe that the presence of anisotropy modifies the quantitative results obtained for isotropic homogeneous material but not the qualitative trends of the solutions.
