Curvatures of a Surface and the Rotation of the Unit Normal Vector
Thanks to Weingarten’s formulae [1], which date to 1861, the bending deformation of a Kirchhoff-Love shell can be characterized by examining the variation of the unit normal vector to the surface of the shell.

The Universal Program of Linear Elasticity
Universal displacements are those displacements that can be maintained, in the absence of body forces, by applying only boundary tractions for any material in a given class of materials. Therefore, equilibrium equations must be satisfied for arbitrary elastic moduli for a given anisotropy class. These conditions can be expressed as a set of partial differential equations for the displacement field that we call universality constraints. The classification of universal displacements in homogeneous linear elasticity has been completed for all the eight anisotropy classes.
