The dripping of an elastic rod. Upper part: the progressive formation of a drop (photos taken with a Photron Fastcam SA5 model 775K-C2 at 10 000 fps). Lower part: the self-encapsulating rod under quasi-static load (photos taken with a Nikon D200 with a AF Nikkor 18–35 mm). Note the analogy in the shapes of the drop and of the rod.
