Can we make curvy vectors? Or to put it another way: Instead of one straight direction, can the direction be round(or something like that)?
Thanks

Bending vectors are mathematical tools used to represent the direction and magnitude of a force acting on an object that is bending or curving.
No, vectors themselves are straight lines with a specific direction and magnitude. However, we can use bending vectors to represent forces that cause an object to bend or curve.
Bending vectors take into account the curvature of an object, while regular vectors only represent linear motion. Bending vectors also have an additional component called the bending moment, which represents the rotational effect of the force.
Bending vectors are commonly used in engineering and physics to analyze and design structures that bend or curve, such as bridges, beams, and arches. They are also used in biomechanics to study the forces acting on the human body during movement.
Bending vectors are best suited for analyzing small deformations in linear elastic materials. They may not accurately represent the behavior of highly nonlinear or plastic materials, or large deformations in structures. Additionally, they may not take into account factors such as friction or temperature effects that can affect bending behavior.
