摘要

Abstract Our aim in this paper is to present a rather general non-linear continuum theory that may prove useful for the interpretation of observations and experiments upon smectic C liquid crystals. In its present formulation our theory is constrained to exclude variations in the layer spacing thickness and also changes in tilt with respect to the layer normal. De Gennes1 discusses a theory of this type for smectic A liquid crystals, but for these liquids ...
