Setting a coiling initial strain models the bending of a long rod, e.g. a prolonged fiber, so that the body is coiled around a center. We assume that the rod is directed in the - direction. Then only the - component is nonzero:
where is the distance to the coiling center in the - coordinate direction and is the - position, where no distortion takes place.
