AbstractUnderstanding slender structures is one of the great unresolved challenges of modern science and technology. Such structures permeate biological systems (flowers, leaves, tissue, and active matter), materials science (programmable materials), robotics (deployable devices), and biomedical engineering (soft robotics). These problems are typically lower-dimensional and susceptible to geometric effects such as metric constraints, length and area constraints, and curvature. Corresponding models are t
