Abstract: We consider variational problems that model the bending behavior of curves that are constrained to belong to given hypersurfaces. Finite element discretizations of corresponding functionals are justified rigorously via Gamma-convergence. The stability of semi-implicit discretizations of gradient flows is investigated which provide a practical method to determine stationary configurations. A particular application of the considered models arises in the description of conical sheet deformations.
