Optical penetration depth and periodic motion of a photomechanical strip
Ameneh Maghsoodi, Kaushik Bhattacharya
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) containing light-sensitive molecules exhibit large reversible deformation when subjected to illumination. Here, we investigate the role of optical…

Softening of the Hertz indentation contact in nematic elastomers
Ameneh Maghsoodi, Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev +1
Polydomain liquid crystalline (nematic) elastomers have highly unusual mechanical properties, dominated by the dramatically non-linear stress-strain response that reflects stress-i…

Light-induced swirling and locomotion
Ameneh Maghsoodi, Kaushik Bhattacharya
Photomechanical liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are responsive polymers that can convert light directly into mechanical deformation. This unique feature makes these materials an a…
