Analysis of weak elasticity of nematic solids using a continuum approach
A. I. Leonov, V. S. Volkov
This paper formally analyses effects of nematic weak elasticity using the five parametric de Gennes (DG) potential. The analysis is trivialized in a specific (local) Cartesian coor…

On the weak nematic elasticity and soft deformation modes
A. I. Leonov, V. S. Volkov
The paper investigates the general case of incompressible non-classical elasticity with small deformations and rotations. It is shown that the internal spin rotations are important…
