A rod theory for liquid crystalline elastomers
We derive a general constitutive model for nematic liquid crystalline rods. Our approach consists in reducing the three-dimensional strain-energy density of a nematic cylindrical structure to a one-dimensional energy of a nematic rod. The reduced one-dimensional model connects directly the optotherm...
