Abstract
We present a bending model for a weakly curved rod, namely the type of curved rod where the curvature is of the order of the diameter of the cross section. The model is deduced in a rigorous mathematical way fr om classical tridimensional linear elasticity theory via taking the li mit as the diameter of the cross section tends to zero. This model is valid for general cases of applied forces and material, and it allows us to calculate displacements, axial stresses, bending moments and she ar forc.
