Remote bending control of liquid crystal polymer beams by light induced moment and shear forces
Abstract eng: Bending of beams made of chromic liquid crystal polymers can be remotely controlled by light illuniinations and is modelled by Timoshenko beam theory due to the possible transversal shear induced by light. Both analytical solutions and finite element simulations have shown that the bending characteristics is controlled by the coupled action of opto-moment and opto-shear-force produced by light illumination. The effect of light induced shear could be very strong depending on the liquid crystal orientation and boundary conditions.
