A one-dimensional model for a narrow ribbon is derived from the plate theory of Kirchhoff by means of a power expansion in the width variable. The energy found coincides with the corrected Sadowsky’s energy. Furthermore, we derive the Euler-Lagrange equations and use them to study an equilibrium configuration of a twisted ribbon. Within this example we also describe how to construct the fine scale oscillations that develop in the deformed configuration.

Abstract

A one-dimensional model for a narrow ribbon is derived from the plate theory of Kirchhoff by means of a power expansion in the width variable. The energy found coincides with the corrected Sadowsky’s energy. Furthermore, we derive the Euler-Lagrange equations and use them to study an equilibrium configuration of a twisted ribbon. Within this example we also describe how to construct the fine scale oscillations that develop in the deformed configuration.
