Gamma-convergence results for nematic elastomer bilayers: relaxation and actuation

Pierluigi Cesana, Andres A Leon Baldelli

We compute effective energies of thin bilayer structures composed by soft nematic elastic-liquid crystals in various geometrical regimes and functional configurations. Our focus is…

Discrete-to-continuum limits of planar disclinations

Pierluigi Cesana, Patrick van Meurs

In materials science, wedge disclinations are defects caused by angular mismatches in the crystallographic lattice. To describe such disclinations, we introduce an atomistic model…
