Abstract: We prove that, in the limit of vanishing thickness, equilibrium configurations of inhomogeneous, three-dimensional non-linearly elastic rods converge to equilibrium configurations of the variational limit theory. More precisely, we show that, as ho0, stationary points of the energy Eh, for a rod OmegahsubsetmathbbR3 with cross-sectional diameter h, subconverge to stationary points of the Gamma-limit of Eh, provided that the bending energy of the sequence scales appropriately. This generalizes earlier results for homogeneous materials to the case of materials with (not necessarily periodic) inhomogeneities.
