Abstract
Considering a shell as a genuine Cosserat surface leads naturally to a definition of material uniformity which entails an enlarged isotropy group operation. A strict homogeneity condition is obtained in terms o f the vanishing of a surface inhomogeneity tensor and two director int egrability conditions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
