Abstract: The aim of this paper is to extend the results obtained by Miara [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 142 (1998), 331–353] and Lods and Miara [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 142 (1998), 335–374] on the asymptotic analysis of nonlinearly elastic shells to the nonhomogeneous anisotropic case. To this end, we use the Hellinger–Reissner variational principle.

Keywords: asymptotic expansion, anisotropic shell, Hellinger–Reissner, nonlinear elasticity
