  We prove that, in the limit of vanishing thickness, equilibrium
configurations of inhomogeneous, three-dimensional non-linearly elastic rods
converge to equilibrium configurations of the variational limit theory. More
precisely, we show that, as $h \to 0$, stationary points of the energy $E^h$,
for a rod $\Omega_h \subset \mathbb R^3$ with cross-sectional diameter $h$,
subconverge to stationary points of the $\Gamma$-limit of $E^h$, provided that
the bending energy of the sequence scales appropriately. This generalizes
earlier results for homogeneous materials to the case of materials with (not
necessarily periodic) inhomogeneities.
