      We study the equilibrium states of an elastic column subject to an end thrust. The column is modeled as an inextensible rod with a nonlinear moment-curvature equation. We bring various mathematical theories to bear on this problem; the calculus of variations, bifurcation theory, phase plane analysis, and singular perturbation theory for ordinary differential equations. We study the connections between the various approaches.
