than a particular threshold $L$, and infinite tension for $x>L$. The
tension at $x=L$ is undefined, but may be any positive value. The
model is called the ``piston'' model because it resembles a
frictionless piston sliding in a rigid cylinder of length $L$.

Note that because of it's infinte stiffness at $x=L$, fully extended
domains with this tension model will be identical to completely rigid
