Shape programming lines of concentrated gaussian curvature

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Gaussian curvature and colleagues from the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, Trumpington St, Cambridge , PZ, United Kingdom have published the paper: Shape programming lines of concentrated Gaussian curvature, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: There is now a pressing need to elucidate the geometric and mechanical principles that govern such active shape changes, both to gain insights into biology,9,10 and to facilitate soft machines. scitation.org/journal/jap Here, the authors focus on shape programming of flat nematic elastomer11 sheets with thickness t and encoded with a (unit) planar nematic director n . . .
