Abstract  We develop a minimal phenomenological model to describe the auxetic response recently observed in liquid crystal elastomers, and further determine by theoretical calculation the critical condition required for the auxetic response to occur.
Keywords:  auxetic response      liquid crystal elastomers      phenomenological model
