Asymmetric equilibria of two nested elastic rings

The packing of soft elastic structures is an important and challenging problem due to the possibility of multiple discrete and continuous zones of contact between different parts of the material. To address this problem, we consider the simplest possible packing problem of a thin elastic ring confin...
