Abstract
Three formulations for the problem of an elastica adhering to a rigid surface are discussed and compared. These include stationary principles, the surface integral of Eshelby’s energy-momentum tensor, and the material (configurational) force balance. The configuration at static equilibrium is predicted in closed form for a pair of structures that arise in nano- and microscale applications.
