D. Rittel - DYMAT webinar

Submitted by D.Rittel on
Dear Colleagues, dear Friends,
 
From its origins in 1983, DYMAT’s mission has been to bring together engineers and scientists from all nations working in the field of the dynamic mechanical behaviour of materials;
encompassing various aspects such as experimental techniques, constitutive modelling, micro-structural effects, numerical simulations, etc.
 
This mission is more challenging to lead in the current context of difficulties to travel and to meet together. However, our association will keep on looking for new ideas and solutions

Oblique wrinkling patterns on liquid crystal polymer core–shell cylinders under thermal load

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Smart soft materials, which can flexibly respond to external multi-physics stimuli, have attracted considerable attention over the past few years. Here, we present tunable wrinkling patterns in cylindrical core-shell systems under thermal load via the orientation of director in nematic liquid crystal polymer (LCP). To quantitatively analyze mechanical behavior and morphological evolution of LCP core-shell cylinders, we develop a core-shell model that accounts for director-induced anisotropic spontaneous strains.
