A predictive theoretical model for stretch-induced instabilities in liquid crystal elastomers

Following the experimental lead, we construct a general mathematical model which, depending on whether the uniaxial scalar order parameter is constant or not, can predict either the classical shear striping instability or the molecular auxetic response and mechanical Fréedericksz transition observed...
