Abstract:
We consider an elastic membrane which supports a rigid body. Under height or volume constraints on the rigid body, we study the elastic deformation of the membrane and we determine the shape of the body which minimizes the total energy.
Keywords: optimal shape, rigid body, supporting membrane
