SHEAR DYNAMICS OF LIQUID CRYSTALS IN MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FIELDS
Abstract
The shear dynamics and features of behaviour of liquid crystals in external magnetic and electric fields are investigated. The relations which determine the shear impedance and the effective viscosity coefficient of spatially inhomogeneous liquid crystals are obtained. The efficiency of shear waves and flows in external fields for experimental study of liquid crystals is discussed.
