Liquid Crystal Orientation and Shape Optimization for the Active Response of Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Jorge Luis Barrera,
Caitlyn Cook,
Elaine Lee
et al.

Abstract: Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are responsive materials that can undergo large reversible deformations upon exposure to external stimuli, such as electrical and thermal fields. Controlling the alignment of their liquid crystals mesogens to achieve desired shape changes unlocks a new design paradigm that is unavailable when using traditional materials. While experimental measurements can provide valuable insights into their behavior, computational analysis is essential to exploit their full potential. Accurat… Show more
