Infinitesimal bending of curves lying with a given precision on ruled surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is studied. In particular, the bending of curves on the cylinder, the hyperbolic paraboloid and the helicoid are considered and appropriate bending fields are found. Some examples are graphically presented.

We discuss the infinitesimal bending of curves and knots in [Formula: see text]. A brief overview of the results on the infinitesimal bending of curves is outlined. Change of the Willmore energy, as well as of the Möbius energy under infinitesimal bending of knots is considered. Our visualization tool devoted to visual representation of infinitesimal bending of knots is presented.

We investigate a second order infinitesimal bending of curves in a three-dimensional Euclidean space in this paper. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the vector fields to be infinitesimal bending fields of the corresponding order, as well as explicit formulas which determine these fields. We examine the first and the second variation of some geometric magnitudes which describe a curve, specially a change of the curvature. Two illustrative examples (a circle and a helix) are studied not only analytically but also by drawing curves using computer program Mathematica.
