Development of Liquid Crystalline Elastomers as Soft Mechanical Actuators
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCE) are a class of loosely cross-linked rubbers that combine native liquid crystal phases (e.g., orientational order) and conventional elastomeric properties (e.g., rubber elasticity). Due to their ability to undergo spontaneous and reversible shape change when …

Characterization of the dynamic response of continuous system discretized using finite element methods
… of the maximum Lyapunov characteristic exponent (LCE), which provides information about the asymptotic stability of the system response. The LCE is a measure of the average divergence or convergence of nearby trajectories in the system phase space, and a positive LCE indicates that the system …

Development of applications of liquid crystalline elastomers from Materials to Applications
Liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) is a class of "smart polymer" with constituent molecules called mesogens, exhibiting orientational ordering. These mesogens can self-assemble into many types of ordering and transition to being isotropic reversibly subjected to external stimuli. In the last four …

Paths Towards Shape Change: Elastic Instabilities and Spontaneous Deformations
… deformations in liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are two excellent examples of spontaneous deformations that can be patterned, allowing scientists to program shape changes, mimic biology and design soft robots. A typical example of patterned deformation is the morphing of flat sheets into …

Marital Satisfaction and Stability Following a Near-Death Experience of One of the Marital Partners
… the researcher designed a life-changing event (LCE) group of 26 people who used as their referent the non-NDE-related experience they considered their most life-changing one during their marriage. Sixty-five percent of the marriages in which the NDErs were involved at the time of their NDEs …
