Abstract
We propose and solve a model problem concerning the squeezing and stretching of vesicles between two adhesive plates. Our model is two-dimensional: the vesicle's contour is represented through a closed curve. It has, however, the potential to represent the behaviour of the average section of a vesicle in space. In particular, we compute the gap width that must be reached in stretching the vesicle to make it snap into the loose, undistorted configuration. Detecting this snapping would provide an independent measure for the adhesion potential of the plates.
