Abstract
We analyze the various morphing structures obtained by actuating Janus filaments comprising driven and passive sectors and textiles incorporating driven and passive filaments. Transitions between alternative shapes and coexistence of absolutely stable and metastable states within a certain range of relative extension upon actuation are detected both in Janus rings and textiles. Both single filaments and textiles can be reverse designed to bend into desired shapes by controlling both the size and orientation of driven sectors.
