Description
Summary:<p>Dynamic Freedericksz transition phenomena under external fields have been investigated using expanded<br /> elastic free energy density incorporating elastic constant k24. Dynamic balance equations in liquid crystals are derived<br /> using conservation of mass, momentum and angular momentum concepts. Results of the investigation showed that<br /> reorientation time, Ton, of the director fi in the planar and homeotropic systems are affected by elastic constant k24<br /> instead of kll and k22, while in the homogen system is remain unaffected by elastic constant k24.</p>
