Considering different scalings of the three-dimensional energy and passing to the limit as the diameter of the beam goes to zero, a nonlinear model for strings and a bending-torsion theory for rods are deduced.20 pagesMathematical PhysicsCommutative Algebra74K10; 49J45The nonlinear bending-torsion theory for curved rods as Gamma-limit of three-dimensional elasticitytext
