Dataset description

Using an empirical model encapsulating much of the anisotropic and nonlinear mechanical behaviour of Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs), we study the localised deformation behaviour of a complexly-aligned LCE. This dataset provides the raw data from our tensile mechanical tests and the python scripts used to analyse photographs of the sample during mechanical deformation.
