Erratum to: Straight contact lines on a soft, incompressible solid

Abstract

In the above referenced paper, I have investigated the wetting of a soft incompressible substrate, of elastic shear modulus μ, and of surface tension γ S , by a liquid static rivulet of width 2R, the surface tension of the wetted part of the solid being denoted by γ SL , and that of the liquid by γ (see notations on fig. 4). In sect. 4, the paper contains several misprints (eqs. (29b), (32), (34a) and (36)) and an imprecise sentence (just after eq. (36)), that need to be corrected or precised, but none of these imperfections did affect the results provided. First, in the "symmetrical" case γ SL = γ S , the vertical displacement of the substrate surface in the domain 0 < x
