Example configurations and kinematics of the Cosserat continuum formulation of a beam to illustrate the field of centroid positions \({\varvec{r}}(s,t)\) and material triad field \({\varvec{\Lambda }}(s,t)\): Initial, i.e., stress-free (blue) and deformed (black) configuration. Straight configuration in the initial state is chosen here as an example, although the applied beam theory is more general
