Nonlocal model for nematic liquid-crystal elastomers.
We have developed a fully nonlocal model to describe the dynamic behavior of nematic liquid-crystal elastomers. The free energy, incorporating both elastic and nematic contributions, is a function of the material displacement vector and the orientational order parameter tensor. The free energy cost of spatial variations of these order parameters is taken into account through nonlocal interactio...
متن کاملBiaxial liquid-crystal elastomers: a lattice model.
We present a simple coarse-grained lattice model for monodomain biaxial liquid-crystal elastomers and perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations in the proposed model system. Orientational ordering--uniaxial or biaxial--reflects in sample deformations on cooling the system. The simulation output is used to predict calorimetry data and deuterium magnetic resonance spectra.
متن کاملA microscopic lattice model for liquid crystal elastomers
We propose a simple coarse-grained lattice model for liquid crystal elastomers and show, through large scale Monte Carlo simulations, that it can reproduce stressstrain, order, light transmission, and other experiments, including temperature effects. We focus both on homogeneously and inhomogeneously crosslinked materials.
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Elastomers
PREFACE Liquid crystals are unusual materials. As their name suggests, they inhabit the grey area between liquids and solids. They have long range orientational order, typically of the unique axes of their component rod-like or plate molecules. Spatial variations of this average direction of molecular orientation are resisted by so-called curvature (Frank) elasticity. On the other hand liquid c...
متن کاملStress–softening and recovery of elastomers
A constitutive model is developed for the mechanical response of elastomers at finite strains. A polymer is treated as a network of linear chains linked by permanent (chemical crosslinks) and temporary (entanglements and van der Waals forces) junctions. Temporary junctions are assumed to be in two states: loose (passive) when they impose only topological constrains on available configurations o...
