Abstract

The equation which describes the bending of an elastic wire is found to be closely related to a new integrable nonlinear evolution equation. From this fact, it is shown that the one-kink curve of an elastic wire (the Elastica) is obtained from a one-soliton solution through the inverse scattering method.
