We discuss the well-posedness of a new nonlinear model for nematic elastomers. The main novelty in our work is that the Frank energy penalizes spatial variations of the nematic director in the deformed, rather than in the reference configuration, as it is natural in the case of large deformations.

Abstract
We discuss the well-posedness of a new nonlinear model for nematic elastomers. The main novelty in our work is that the Frank energy penalizes spatial variations of the nematic director in the deformed, rather than in the reference configuration, as it is natural in the case of large deformations.File in questo prodotto:
