| Abstract | Patterned liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) has been shown to have significant promise in surface topography control. Large and diverse shapes and surface adaptive responses have been shown using LCE materials with patterned director profiles. Using various techniques, crystal orientation across the surface of the material as well as through the thickness can be achieved yielding the capability to design out-of-plane deformation. These topological features can be used as active flow effectors manipulating, among other things, drag on an object in cross-flow. It is well known that surface topography can have a large effect on skin friction drag by effecting the boundary layer transition, separation, and interfering with the shedding of vortices. In regards to a cylinder in a cross-flow, spatially manipulating surface topography, and thus drag, in this way gives rise to forces exerted by the fluid on the body. An imbalance of forces due to non-uniform surface topography can then be used to control the cylinder. Designing such a system requires optimization of the surface topography via optimization of the crystal orientation pattern over a wide range of environments. Key to this optimization, described in detail in the presented work, is an accurate material model validated against experimental data. By representing the strain energy of the material as a combination of contributions of the elastomer backbone and the liquid crystals separately, unique material properties can be properly modeled. This is achieved by combining a traditional isotropic 3 chain Arruda-Boyce hyperelastic equation modeling the elastomer backbone with an anisotropic extension modeling the patterned liquid crystals, resulting in an anisotropic hyperelastic material model. The model can then be used to predict the material response of various patterns and investigate the design space of possible surface topographies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
