An extension is proposed of a classical approximate method for estimating the stress state in an elastic rod obliquely colliding against a rigid wall.

Equilibrium confocal textures in a smetic-A cell

Epifanio G. Virga, Jean-Baptiste Fournier (1995)

We study the textures of smectic-A liquid crystals consisting in curved, but stricdy equidistant lamellae. Assuming translational symmetry, we can generate them from a single curve. The free energy is a non-trivial functional of it. We learn how to derive the equilibrium equation for this curve, when the texture is confined between two parallel plates, which exert a weak anchoring on the orientation of the lamellae, but do not interfere direcdy with their position. Finally, we describe...
