The Euler-Helfrich functional
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2117983
Abstract: We investigate equilibrium configurations for surface energies which contain the squared norm of the difference of the mean curvature H and the spontaneous curvature coupled with the elastic energy of the boundary curve, which we studied previously in [23]. It is shown that if a critical surface for this type of functional is axially symmetric, then it satisfies a simpler second order variational problem. Many examples of solutions of this are given.
Given a compact, connected, oriented surface with smooth boundary, embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), the authors consider the Euler-Hilfreich energy, that is, the sum of the Euler bending energy on \(\Sigma\) plus the Hilfreich elastic energy on \(\partial \Sigma\). This models for instance biological lipidic membranes. The authors study critical points, and refine their results when dealing with axially symmetric equilibria.
