Tension-Induced Soft Stress and Viscoelastic Bending in Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Enhanced Energy Dissipation
Beijun Shen, Yuefeng Jiang, Christopher M. Yakacki +2
Architected materials that exploit buckling instabilities to reversibly trap energy have been shown to be effective for impact protection. The energy-absorbing capabilities of thes…

Synergistic Energy Absorption Mechanisms of Architected Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Seung-Yeol Jeon, Beijun Shen, Nicholas A. Traugutt +5
Here, we report the rate-dependent energy absorption behavior of a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE)-based architected material consisting of repeating unit cells of bistable tilted L…
