Reshaping of a Janus ring
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We consider reshaping of closed Janus filaments acquiring intrinsic curvature upon actuation of an active component -- a nematic elastomer elongating upon phase transition. Linear…

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…
