Bending-induced director reorientation of a nematic liquid crystal elastomer bonded to a hyperelastic substrate

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the finite bending of nematic liquid crystal elastomers (NLCE) coated on a hyperelastic substrate, comparing the effects of four different NLCE models on theoretical predictions. It is found that different material models can lead to different results, with a critical value of the bending angle causing a reorientation of the director.

Instabilities in liquid crystal elastomers

L. Angela Mihai et al.

Summary: The study of liquid crystal elastomers focuses on stability and instabilities in nematic bodies, investigating how they differ from purely elastic materials and how they are affected by fluctuating material constants. These materials have potential applications in various fields due to their complex material responses under external stimuli, requiring a multiphysics approach in modeling. The characterization of instabilities with probabilistic material parameters at the macroscopic scale paves the way for a systematic theoretical and experimental study of nematic liquid crystal elastomers.

Liquid crystal elastomers wrinkling

Alain Goriely et al.

Summary: The study examines wrinkling responses in bilayer systems consisting of a monodomain liquid crystal elastomer layer and a homogeneous isotropic incompressible hyperelastic layer, with one layer being thin compared to the other. Wrinkling is caused by a combination of mechanical forces and external stimuli, and a linear stability analysis is performed to determine the conditions for the onset of wrinkling. Additionally, it is demonstrated that a plate model is applicable when the thin layer is much stiffer than the substrate.

Nematic liquid crystalline elastomers are aeolotropic materials

L. Angela Mihai et al.

Summary: Experiments on nematic elastomers have shown an anisotropic response that is not predicted by ideal models, requiring an additional term in their description. By analyzing different deformations theoretically and computationally, it was found that the elastic response of liquid crystal elastomers can be better explained by including nematic order effects within the continuum framework. Comparing elastic moduli obtained from molecular dynamics simulations with theoretical results supports this conclusion.

Understanding the physics of the auxetic response in a liquid crystal elastomer

Thomas Raistrick et al.

Summary: This study explains the physical mechanism behind the auxetic response of a uniaxial LCE under strain by the emergence of biaxial order, determined through Raman scattering and existing LCE theory. The key findings include the relationship between changing nematic order, mechanical Freedericksz transition, apparent semi-soft elasticity, and emergence of biaxial order in the LCE which explains the auxetic behavior. The study identifies important parameters for auxetic behavior in LCEs.
