The treatment of torsion-tension coupling in rods under finite deformations is discussed. Analyses containing higher order terms due to geometric nonlinearities show inconsistency. The differences of three analyses are discussed via numerical examples. Extremely light constructions in aviation and astronautics can neither abandon rod structures nor give up the demand for a precise analysis.
