Abstract: We prove a relation between the scaling $$ of the elastic energies of shrinking non-Euclidean bodies $S_h$ of thickness $ho0$, and the curvature along their mid-surface $S$. This extends and generalizes similar results for plates [BLS16, LRR] to any dimension and co-dimension. In particular, it proves that the natural scaling for non-Euclidean rods with smooth metric is $h^4$, as claimed in [AAE+12] using a formal asymptotic expansion. The proof involves calculating the $Gamma$-limit for the elastic energies of small balls $B_h(p)$, scaled by $h^4$, and showing that the limit infimum energy is given by a square of a norm of the curvature at a point $p$. This $Gamma$-limit proves asymptotics calculated in [AKM+16].
