TY - JOUR T1 - Quasiconvex envelopes of energies for nematic elastomers in the small strain regime and applications JF - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 59 (2011) 787-803 Y1 - 2011 A1 - Pierluigi Cesana A1 - Antonio DeSimone AB - We provide some explicit formulas for the quasiconvex envelope of energy densities for nematic elastomers in the small strain regime and plane strain conditions. We then demonstrate their use as a powerful tool for the interpretation of mechanical experiments.
