This paper studies the mechanical properties of a chain of bistable elements that interact with each other, such as a molecular chain of folding and unfolding units. The authors observe that for a small number of elements the thermodynamic limit is not reached, and the behavior depends on the boundary conditions. The results are compared to experimental observations in stretching biological systems.
