Biological tissues such as those involved in the eye, heart, veins or arteries are heterogeneous on one or another spatial scale and can undergo very large elastic strains. Frequently, these tissues are characterized by shell-like structures at the macroscopic scale and the physical material directions follow curvilinear paths. We consider a homogenized macro-continuum formulated in curvilinear...
