Variational modelling of nematic elastomer foundations
Variational modelling of nematic elastomer foundations is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences''. The main subjects of the publication include tensegrity, four-dimensional printing, elastomer, materials science, and liquid crystal. The authors work in the regime of infinitesimal displacements and model the orientation of the liquid crystal according to the order tensor theories of both Frank and De Gennes.
