A simple analytical thermo-mechanical model for liquid crystal elastomer bilayer structures

A simple analytical thermo-mechanical model for liquid crystal elastomer bilayer structures

The bilayer structure consisting of thermal-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) and other polymer materials with stretchable heaters has attracted much attention in applications of soft actuators and soft robots due to its ability to generate large deformations when subjected to heat stimuli...
