Dynamics, dynamic soft elasticity and rheology of smectic-C elastomers
Olaf Stenull, T. C. Lubensky
Abstract
We present a theory for the low-frequency, long-wavelength dynamics of soft smectic-C elastomers with locked-in smectic layers. Our theory, which goes beyond pure hydrodynamics, predicts a dynamic soft elasticity of these elastomers and allows us to calculate the storage and loss moduli relevant for rheology experiments as well as the mode structure.
