This study proposes a theoretical contribution to the problem of the various distortions affecting axisymmetric capillary bridges, due to gravity or to bending effects linked to the Gaussian curvature. We deduce a clear hierarchization of effects between various reference configurations and put in a prominent position an exact first integral for the Young–Laplace equations, classical or generalized. These relationships are taken advantage of to obtain the theoretical expression of the varying inter-particle force, quantified effects of flexural strength. Finally, we establish a generalization of the classical “gorge method” to calculate accurately the capillary force of a profile subjected to distorsion due to bending when the gravity effects are negligible or not taken into account.

Cette étude propose une contribution théorique au problème des distorsions affectant les ponts capillaires axisymétriques, dues à la gravité ou aux effets de flexion liés à la courbure gaussienne. Nous en déduisons une hiérarchisation claire de ces effets pour différentes configurations de référence et nous mettons en évidence une intégrale première exacte pour les équations de Young–Laplace, classiques ou généralisées. Ces relations sont mises à profit pour obtenir une expression théorique de la force capillaire, tenant compte des effets de flexion, qui n’est plus constante. Enfin, nous établissons une généralisation de la “gorge method” classique pour calculer avec précision la force capillaire d’un doublet capillaire soumis à une distorsion due aux effets de flexion lorsque les effets de la gravité sont négligeables ou non pris en compte.
