Instabilities in liquid crystal elastomers
L. Angela Mihai, Alain Goriely
Stability is an important and fruitful avenue of research for liquid crystal elastomers. At constant temperature, upon stretching, the homogeneous state of a nematic body becomes u…

A plate theory for nematic liquid crystalline solids
L. Angela Mihai, Alain Goriely
We derive a Föppl-von Kármán-type constitutive model for solid liquid crystalline plates where the nematic director may or may not rotate freely relative to the elastic network. To…

Likely cavitation and radial motion of stochastic elastic spheres 2: Impulse driven
L. Angela Mihai, Thomas E. Woolley, Alain Goriely
Cavitation in solids can be caused by tensile dead-load traction or impulse traction. The two different types of boundary conditions lead to different static and dynamic solutions.…
