Abstract
An elastic surface model is investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on triangulated spherical meshes. The model undergoes a first-order collapsing transition and a continuous surface fluctuation transition. The shape of surfaces is maintained by a one-dimensional bending energy, which is defined on the mesh, and no two-dimensional bending energy is included in the Hamiltonian.
