Abstract
A thin elastic sheet can develop wrinkles which arrange into patterns similar to those characteristic of liquid crystals. Here the authors use this analogy to propose a mapping between the elastic sheet problem and the smectic liquid crystal problem which can enable a better understanding of wrinkling.
