The present paper is concerned with bending of extensible and shear-deformable rods, where we treat the case of plane deformations. Our emphasis is laid upon infinitesimal deformations superimposed upon finite deformations. In this framework, we focus on deriving generalized reciprocity theorems that must hold with respect to the superimposed infinitesimal deformations, when produced by different types of loadings. Besides imposed distributed and concentrated force and moment loadings, we consider the action of eigenstrains. Moreover, we also take into account the presence of jumps in kinematic entities, particularly concerning jumps of axial rod positions and of cross-sectional rotations. We first derive local and global universal reciprocity relations, which must hold for rods made of any material. The global universal relation then is specialized to the case of hyperelastic rods. From the latter relation, we prove that reciprocity theorems known from the linear theory, such as the theorems of Betti, Maxwell and Land, as well as Maysel’s formula, formally do hold for infinitesimal deformations superimposed upon finite deformations. As a formulation that appears to be novel also with respect to the purely linear theory, we present a combination of Maysel’s formula with the theory of Land, the former dealing with eigenstrains, the latter involving jumps in kinematic entities.
