I've added a reference to a tech report I just published on the history of the elastica (which will become a chapter of my PhD thesis). I'm happy if people adapt that into this article, but probably won't have much time to do it myself. Please feel free to contact me for access to original figures, etc. Raph Levien (talk) 19:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematical principles omitted

[edit]

I don't know much about elasticas, but I have read that, subject to certain boundary conditions, they minimize the integral (with respect to arclength) of squared curvature.

I hope someone knowledgeable about this subject can add this very basic fact to the article. 2601:200:C000:1A0:9D8C:6088:2CD0:DAD3 (talk) 05:22, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
