Theoretical and experimental study of the stability of a soap film spanning a flexible loop
Aisa Biria, Eliot Fried
A variational model is used to study the stability of a soap film spanning a flexible loop. The film is modeled as a fluid surface endowed with constant tension and the loop is mod…

Euler-Plateau, with a twist
Aisa Biria, Eliot Fried
A generalization of the Euler-Plateau problem to account for the energy contribution due to twisting of the bounding loop is proposed. Euler-Lagrange equations are derived in a par…
