Dynamical Behaviors of a Translating Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fiber in a Linear Temperature Field

Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) fiber with a fixed end in an inhomogeneous temperature field is capable of self-oscillating because of coupling between heat transfer and deformation, and the dynamics of a translating LCE fiber in an inhomogeneous temperature field are worth investigating to widen its...
