Abstract
The linear theory of Cosserat surfaces is employed to study Saint-Venant's problem for cylindrical shells of arbitrary cross-section. We prove minimum energy characterizations for the solution of the relaxed Saint-Venant's problem previously obtained. Then, we determine the global measures of strain appropriate to extension, bending, torsion and flexure for certain classes of solutions to the relaxed problem.
