Abstract
The influences of transverse and rotational symmetries on the strain-energy functions of elastic rods are discussed. Complete function bases are presented and, for some constrained theories, these bases are also proven to be irreducible. The treatment of symmetry is based on a reformulation of a recent work by Luo and O’Reilly. It is also shown how this work relates to existing treatments by Antman and Healey for a particular constrained rod theory.
