Abstract

Classical differential geometry defines two symmetrical fundamental forms, the first dealing with length measurement, the second essentially with curvature. In applications, particularly in the mechanics of plates and shells, certain unsymmetrical features of the fundamental forms are of interest and are here investigated.
