Abstract The Kirchhoff–Plateau problem concerns the equilibrium shapes of a system in which a flexible filament in the form of a closed loop is spanned by a liquid film, with the …

We minimize elastic energies on framed curves which penalize both curvature and torsion. We also discuss critical points using the infinite dimensional version of the Lagrange …
We obtain the minimal energy solution of the Plateau problem with elastic boundary as a variational limit of the minima of the Kirchhoff-Plateau problems with a rod boundary when …

We study equilibrium surfaces for an energy which is a linear combination of the area and a second term which measures the bending and twisting of the boundary. Specifically, the …

We introduce a modified Kirchhoff–Plateau problem adding an energy term to penalize shape modifications of the cross-sections appended to the elastic midline. In a specific …
We introduce a generalization of Mobius energy for knots to an energy functional for tubular neighbourhoods of closed inextensible curves. We prove the continuity of the energy and its …

A variational model is used to study the behavior of a flexible but inextensible loop spanned by a liquid film, with the objective of explaining the stability and buckling of flat circular …
For robots to interact safely with humans and travel with minimal weight, low-density packable actuators are sought. Electronically-driven active materials like shape memory …
