This research will study the stability of liquid bridges for               which the contact curves are not assumed to be fixed.  Such                     bridges arise in a variety of physical situations and are formed                when a drop of liquid contacts two solid objects.  The present                  work will examine the cause of the instability as the critical                  volume is approached, and the dependence of the critical volume                 on the contact angle.                                                                This work has implications for understanding the                           contribution of capillarity to the adhesion of material                         interfaces, and for the measurement of surface tension.
