 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
