Bending of Thin Liquid Crystal Elastomer under Irradiation of Visible Light: Finsler Geometry Modeling

In this paper, we show that the 3D Finsler geometry (FG) modeling technique successfully explains a reported experimental result: a thin liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) disk floating on the water surface deforms under light irradiation. In the reported experiment, the upper surface is illuminated by...
