Multiple equilibria in a simple elastocapillary system

We consider the elastocapillary interaction of a liquid drop placed between two flexible sheets, which are both clamped at one end to a rigid substrate. This is a simple model system relevant to the problem of surface tension-induced collapse of flexible micro-channels that has been observed in the...
