Liquid crystal elastomers contract along their director on heating and recover on cooling, offering great potential as actuators and artificial muscles. If a flat sheet is programmed with a spatially varying director pattern, it will actuate into a c

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) undergo a large uniaxial contraction upon thermal or optical stimulation. LCE sheets are often fabricated with a spatially patterned direction of contraction, which can sculpt the sheet into a Gauss-curved surface. He

The neoclassical model of Sm-C (and Sm-C*) elastomers developed by Warner and Adams predicts a class of "soft" (zero energy) deformations. We find and describe the full set of stripe domains-laminate structures in which the laminates alternate betwee
