Thermal Fluctuations of Elastic Ring
Y. Rabin, S. Panyukov
We study the effects of thermal fluctuations on a small elastic ring. We derive analytical expressions for the correlation functions of the Euler angles, for the real space two--po…

Buckling of rods with spontaneous twist and curvature
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Yitzhak Rabin
We analyze stability of a thin inextensible elastic rod which has non-vanishing spontaneous generalized torsions in its stress-free state. Two classical problems are studied, both…

Elasticity of thin rods with spontaneous curvature and torsion - beyond geometrical lines
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Yitzhak Rabin
We study three-dimensional deformations of thin inextensible elastic rods with non-vanishing spontaneous curvature and torsion. In addition to the usual description in terms of cur…
