We investigate the deformation of general anisotropic and inhomogeneous shells, under the action of a given temperature distribution. We assume that the temperature field is a polynomial in the axial coordinate, and we establish the displacements produced by the prescribed thermal field. The results are obtained in the framework of the linear theory for Cosserat thermoelastic shells. The solution is used to study the special case of orthotropic cylindrical shells.
