Modeling Defects, Shape Evolution, and Programmed Auto-origami in Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Liquid crystal elastomers represent a novel class of programmable shape-transforming materials whose shape change trajectory is encoded in the material’s nematic director field. Using three-dimensional nonlinear finite element elastodynamics simulation, we model a variety of different actuation geom...
