Abstract

We study Kirchhoff elastic rod whose centerlines are non-null curves in the Minkowski 3-space. In particular, we obtain the differential equation describing non-null Kirchhoff elastic rod centerlines. Afterwards, we solve this differential equation in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions for three different cases.
