Optimal exponentials of thickness in Korn's inequalities for parabolic and elliptic shells

Abstract: We establish Korn's interpolation inequalities and the rigidity results of the strain tensor of the middle surface for the parabolic and elliptic shells and show that the best constant in Korn's inequalities scales like $h^{3/2}$ for the parabolic shell and $h$ for the elliptic shell, removing the main assumption that the middle surface of the shell is given by one single principal coordinate in the literature and, in particular, including the closed elliptic shell.
