Abstract
This paper shows a spatial model of a closed elastica under external forces. The model is a discrete elastica model approximated by a serial chain of rigid links connected with passive elastic joints. The effect of external forces on a closed elastica is considered based on knowledge on mechanics of the multi-link system. We also show that it is possible to find the dimensionless form of the discrete elastica model successfully.
