Photo-controlled patterned wrinkling of liquid crystalline polymer films on compliant substrates

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Photo-chromic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) is a type of smart materials which are sensitive to light. Here we harness its photo-mechanical response to flexibly control surface patterning, through modeling a film involving homeotropic nematic liquid crystals with director perpendicular to the polymer film attached on a compliant substrate. Theoretical and numerical analyses were conducted to explore the surface instability of such film/substrate systems under both uniform and non-uniform illuminations by ultraviolet (UV) light, respectively.

I try to model and simulate the half-full water tanker and then evaluated sloshing frequency in ABAQUS . 
I have many questions. Can every one help me? 
  

 

1-i have to aoustic to evaluated sloshing frequnce ?

2-Is there another way to do it in abaqus?
Thanks for your help

Applied Mechanics Division Banquet, Tuesday, 7 November 2017

It is a great honor for me to receive the Timoshenko Medal. In particular I am very impressed when I look at the names of those who got it before me. Many thanks to those who have nominated me, and to those who have selected me for this honor.
