  • Abstract

We establish the equivalence between the vanishing three-dimensional Riemann- Christoffel curvature tensor of a shell and the two-dimensional Gauss-Codazzi-Mainardi compatibility conditions on its middle surface. Additionally, we produce a new proof of Gauss theorema egregium and Bonnet theorem (reconstructing a surface from its two fundamental forms). This is performed in the very elegant framework of Cartan's moving frames.
