Influence of the surface-like volume elasticity on the critical thickness of a hybrid aligned nematic cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The existence of a critical thickness for a hybrid aligned nematic cell has been recently predicted on the basis of the Frank elasticity. The purpose of the present work is to show the dependence of the critical thickness on the surface-like volume elasticity and to find new limits for K13 in terms of the principal elastic constants.

Influence of flexoelectricity on the stable configuration of a nematic layer with opposite boundary conditions
We discuss the influence of flexoelectricity on the critical thickness of a hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal cell. We show that the critical thickness is independent of the flexoelectrical properties of the nematic only under the hypothesis that the distorted-undistorted transition is of second order. Afterall, the only effect of flexoelectricity is to introduce a very large elastic anisot...
متن کاملتغییرات ساختاری بلورمایع نماتیک آمیخته به نانوکلوئیدهای مغناطیسی
The stable colloidal dispersions of magnetic nano-particles in nematic liquid crystals are called ferronematics. Their behaviour in magnetic fields depends on various parameters such as anchoring energy, magnetic anisotropy, and shape and volume fraction of the particles. In the present paper, the threshold field is obtained for these colloidal nematics. Then, the influence of magnetic anisotr...
متن کاملMechanical Properties Analysis of Bilayer Euler-Bernoulli Beams Based on Elasticity Theory
This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...
متن کاملSurface Effects on Free Vibration Analysis of Nanobeams Using Nonlocal Elasticity: A Comparison Between Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko
In this paper, surface effects including surface elasticity, surface stress and surface density, on the free vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko nanobeams are considered using nonlocal elasticity theory. To this end, the balance conditions between nanobeam bulk and its surfaces are considered to be satisfied assuming a linear variation for the component of the normal stress thr...
متن کاملPeriodic stripe domains and hybrid-alignment regime in nematic liquid crystals: Threshold analysis.
Recently we investigated the occurrence of static periodic stripes in a hybrid aligned nematic cell. Assuming that the tilt anchoring was stronger at the planar wall than at the homeotropic wall, we have found the critical thickness of the cell for the transition from planar to periodic alignment as a function of the surface energy in the presence of a magnetic field. Here we study, for the sam...
