6.1 Linearization of the shell-director motion

Let us recall that the dynamic part of the weak form of balance equations at time t n +1 is

(110)

where the test function ? t has to satisfy the algorithmic form of equation (23)

(111)

By exploiting analogy with equations (50) and (51) we may write ? t in terms of the incremental rotation vectors (introduced in Section 4 and used for the time discretization in Section 5) as

(112)

where and defined in equations (52) and (53), are now functions of the incremental rotation vectors and ? n +1, respectively. Equation (112) satisfy condition (111).

Linearization of ? t with respect to intrinsic rotational variables at time t n + 1, which are and ? n +1, is not zero. It can be shown that the following forms can be obtained from equation (112)

(113)

where and and are again functions of and ? n +1, respectively. Full form of is

(114)

where = and matrices A, B are defined as

(115)

Full form of is given in an analogous way. Some further details may be found in Brank et al. (1997).

Finally, we note that the linearization of the shell-director at time t n + 1, namely ? t n
