Paper Validation and FEM model development -- 2 - 08/01/2024 05:10 EST

My model is of Liquid Crystal Elastomer getting actuated using UV rays. I have to validate the below mentioned paper (Intensity and Thermal relations of Liquid Crystals). Rest to get an overview I am doing experimental work, will be requiring guidance throughout the FEM analysis of the physical condition under consideration. The liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) consist of chemicals that are photo-responsive and show movement when light is getting incident on them. The liquid crystal has mesogens in it having directors (along which the molecules tend to align themselves) aligned to the light and show their behaviour as desired by further design of actuators using the same.

I need 2 subroutines for the below mentioned paper UTEMP and UMAT. I will be requiring model and validation in Abaqus 6.14 compatible and Fortran running into subroutines for ABAQUS.
