Nemato-elastic crawlers
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
A propagating "beam" triggering a local phase transition in a nematic elastomer sets it into a crawling motion, which may morph due to buckling. We consider the motion of the vario…

Reshaping nemato-elastic sheets
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We consider three-dimensional reshaping of thin nemato-elastic sheets containing half-charged defects upon nematic-isotropic transition. Gaussian curvature, that can be evaluated a…
