Abstract
We propose a simple coarse-grained lattice model for liquid crystal elastomers and show, through large scale Monte Carlo simulations, that it can reproduce stress-strain, order, light transmission, and other experiments, including temperature effects. We focus both on homogeneously and inhomogeneously crosslinked materials.
