Abstrakt: This paper deals with the study of torsional energy (total squared torsion) at infinitesimal bending of curves and knots in three dimensional Euclidean space. During bending, the curve is subject to change, and its properties are changed. The effect that deformation has on the curve is measured by variations. Here, we observe the infinitesimal bending of the second order and variations of the first and the second order that occur in this occasion. The subjects of study are curves and knots, in particular torus knots. We analyze various examples both analytically and graphically, using our own calculation and visualization software tool.
