Twisting, untwisting and diastolic function in aortic valve disease.
Global and regional deformation of left ventricular muscle tissue is sensitive to a variety of cardiac disorders such as coronary artery disease and pressure–load hypertrophy. In the domain of coronary artery disease, changes in local wall motion and thickening may occur in acute and chronic myocardial infarction, and during stress-induced myocardial ischaemia. Under conditions of pressure over...
متن کاملLinear hydrodynamics and viscoelasticity of nematic elastomers
We develop a continuum theory of linear viscoelastic response in oriented monodomain nematic elastomers. The expression for dissipation function is analogous to the Leslie-Ericksen version of anisotropic nematic viscosity; we propose the relations between the anisotropic rubber moduli and new viscous coefficients. A new dimensionless number is introduced, which describes the relative magnitude ...
متن کاملPhenomenological theory of isotropic-genesis nematic elastomers.
We consider the impact of the elastomer network on the nematic structure and fluctuations in isotropic-genesis nematic elastomers, via a phenomenological model that underscores the role of network compliance. The model contains a network-mediated nonlocal interaction as well as a new kind of random field that reflects the memory of the nematic order present at network formation and also encodes...
متن کاملPrediction of disclinations in nematic elastomers.
We present a theory for uniaxial nematic elastomers with variable asphericity. As an application of the theory, we consider the time-independent, isochoric extension of a right circular cylinder. Numerical solutions to the resulting differential equation are obtained for a range of extensions. For sufficiently large extensions, there exists an isotropic core of material surrounding the cylinder...
متن کاملThermal deformation of imprinted twist nematic elastomers
A nematic elastomer film with a 90 o twist orientation between the top and bottom surfaces is prepared by chiral imprinting methods. The reactive achiral nematic monomers and crosslinkers are photopolymerized in the presence of a controlled amount of unreactive chiral dopant. The elastomer films possess a 90 o twist orientation even after the removal of the chiral dopant. The films exhibit an e...
