We study a variational model for soap films in which the films are represented by sets with fixed small volume rather than surfaces. In this problem, a minimizing sequence of completely "wet" films, or sets of finite perimeter spanning a…

A soap film, or a flexible membrane without bending and torsional stiffness, that is confined in a cylinder is shown to be susceptible to a surface-tension-driven instability when it is stretched or twisted. This leads to its breakdown and…
