EUROMECH “Mechanics of soft active polymers” Colloquium therefore welcomes the scientists, the early career researchers and industry researchers to contribute to the three sessions devoted to Theory, Experimental and numerical approaches, Applications, including sensors, actuators, robotics and energy harvesters.

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.
