Abstract
Saint-Venant's problem consists in finding elastic deformations of an infinite prismatic body taking given values for the cross-sectional resultants of force and moment. Using the center manifold approach we show that all deformations having sufficiently small bounded strains lie on a finite-dimensional manifold. In particular, the flow on this manifold is described by a set of equations having exactly the form of the classical rod equations. Moreover, the set of semi-inverse solutions can be analyzed locally.
