Constantine and Elena, Bulgaria, June 6–11, 2008. Sofia: Avangard Prima (ISBN 978-954-323-531-5/pbk). 164-170 (2009). Summary: Solutions of the free elastica are deformed in order to provide the analytical part of the corresponding mechanical construction which produce the shapes of Euler elastica by bending appropriately the rectangular one.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1169.81004].
