Abstract
We analyze the bending response to light or heat of a solid nematic disk with a director twisted from being radial on the upper surface to be azimuthal on the lower. We find a number of curl lobes determined purely by the geometry of the mechanical frustration that arises during the response.Year: 2012 PMID： 23367885 DOI： 10.1103/PhysRevE.86.060701
