Abstract

In this paper we derive a model of curved elastic rods from the threedimensional linearized micropolar elasticity. Derivation is based on the asymptotic expansion method with respect to the thickness of the rod. The method is used without any a priori assumption on the scaling of the unknowns. The leading term, displacement and microrotation, is identified as the unique solution of a certain one-dimensional problem. Appropriate convergence results are proved.
