Elasticity of smectic-A elastomers.

We present a fully nonlinear model of the elasticity smectic-A elastomers, and compare our results with a wide range of experimental observations: extreme Poisson ratios, the in-plane modulus, the modulus before and after threshold to layer rotation in response to stretches along the layer normal, the threshold strain, the characteristic, and singular rotation of layers after the threshold. We ...

Soft elasticity in biaxial smectic and smectic-C elastomers.

Ideal (monodomain) smectic-A elastomers cross-linked in the smectic-A phase are simply uniaxial rubbers, provided deformations are small. From these materials smectic-C elastomers are produced by a cooling through the smectic-A to smectic-C phase transition. At least in principle, biaxial smectic elastomers could also be produced via cooling from the smectic-A to a biaxial smectic phase. These ...

Soft elasticity in smectic elastomers.

We investigate the soft elastic modes of smectic elastomers, that is shape change without energy cost. We use a microscopic model for their nonlinear elasticity, similar to those used for nematic elastomers. We consider two different phases of smectic elastomer; the biaxial smectic A for a simple illustration, and smectic C phases which are of great practical significance. We show that only one...

Dipole strength effects on the polymorphism in smectic A mesophases

We study the effect of molecular dipole strength on the polymorphism of smectic A liquid crystals using computer simulations and density functional theory. We find, for a system of polar Gay–Berne particles with an off-centre axial dipole, a change in molecular organisation from non interdigitated to interdigitated (SAd) structure.

Continuum theory of elasticity and piezoelectric effects in smectic A elastomers

The general continuum free energy is derived for a liquid crystalline (smectic) elastomer under small strain and orientational distortion. Using group representation theory we obtain all invariants describing the coupling of translational and orientational degrees of freedom. Possibilities of uniform rotation of the layer system under shear deformation are outlined. It is shown that in centrosy...
