Abstract
We shall now present two approaches to one-dimensional modelling of the continuum. The starting point for this theory of one-dimensional media must clearly be geometrical, based on the observation that many solids used as structural elements in constructions (civil or industrial engineering, ship building, aeronautics, etc.) have a slender shape (Fig. 1). This suggests that it should be possible to carry out mechanical studies on the one-dimensional geometry defined by a director curve.
