Polydomain-monodomain transition in nematic elastomers

Director textures and alignment of polydomain nematic elastomers under uniaxial extension are described theoretically applying the concept of randomly quenched disorder introduced by network cross-links. Within this model, treated with the replica trick and Gaussian variational approximation, the po...
