Summary The paper presents a mathematical investigation of finite deformations of circular elastic rings under concentrated forces, that is done by a combination of phase-plane discussion and numerical calculations. Emphasis is on quantitative results utilizable in engineering practice, however, bifurcations of equilibrium are described as well. The investigation aims at the use of ring-shaped compliant elements in both macro- and micro-structures.
