Large deformation analysis of spontaneous twist and contraction in nematic elastomer fibres with helical director

no code implementations17 Dec 2020 Andrea Giudici, John S. Biggins

We then compute the corresponding non-linear elastic energy, which encompasses the Poynting effect, but is minimized by a finite spontaneous twist and stretch.

Interfacial metric mechanics: stitching patterns of shape change in active sheets

no code implementations9 Feb 2021 Fan Feng, Daniel Duffy, John S. Biggins, Mark Warner

In contraction/elongation systems such as LCEs, we find an infinite set of compatible interfaces between any pair of patterns along which the metric is discontinuous, and a finite number across which the metric is continuous.
