Liquid crystal elastomers wrinkling

When a liquid crystal elastomer layer is bonded to an elastic layer, it creates a bilayer with interesting properties that can be activated by applying traction at the boundaries or by optothermal stimulation. Here, we examine wrinkling responses in three-dimensional nonlinear systems containing a m...
