Abstract

The overarching aim of this Collection is to focus on important theoretical and computational challenges in the description and explanation of coupled phenomena in LCEs, and further enhance our way of thinking about soft responsive materials in general. By its intrinsic complexity and multidisciplinarity, the research presented here connects different areas of applied mathematics, engineering and physics, including but not limited to materials modeling, solid mechanics, soft matter, mathematical analysis, and scientific computing. Our Special Collection is dedicated to the memory of Professor Mark Warner, who pioneered the theoretical research of LCEs.
