Equilibrium of elastic lattice shells

A model for shells consisting of a continuous distribution of embedded rods is developed in the framework of the direct theory of second-gradient elastic surfaces. The shell is constitutively sensitive to a convenient measure of the gradient of strain in addition to the metric and curvature of standard shell theory.
