Temperature- and deformation-dependent soft elasticity and order-driven actuation in monodomain liquid crystal elastomers: a finite element study
This study investigates the coupled effect of soft elasticity and phase behavior in monodomain liquid crystal elastomer(LCE) through finite element analysis. Soft elasticity allows for large deformations with minimal stress through mesogen rotation. Phase behavior describes the thermotropic transition between nematic...
