An excursion into large rotations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an enlarged exploration of the matrix formulation of finite rotations in space initiated in [1] and showed how a consistent but subtle matrix calculus inevitably leads to a number of elegant expressions for the transformation or rotation matrix T appertaining to a rotation about an arbitrary axis.

On a stress resultant geometrically exact shell model. Part III: computational aspects of the nonlinear theory
TL;DR: In this article, a configuration update procedure for the director (rotation) field is developed, which is singularity free and exact regardless the magnitude of the rotation increment, and the exact linearization of the discrete form of the equilibrium equations is derived in closed form.
