Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Liquid Crystal Elastomers
By Haoran Wang
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Utah State University
When subjected to external stimuli, like heat, electricity, and light, liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can show large deformations. Harnessing the power of CHPC, we simulated the phase transition and the resulting deformation of LCEs and developed new theories to describe the stimuli-responsive deformations. LCEs have potential applications in soft robotics and artificial muscles. Our research was highlighted on the journal cover of the September issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society A.
