Chamfered dodecahedron The chamfered dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 80 vertices, 120 edges, and 42 faces: 30 hexagons and 12 pentagons. It is constructed as a chamfer (geometry) (edge-truncation) of a regular dodecahedron. The pentagons are reduced in size and new hexagonal faces are added in place of all the original edges. Its dual is the pentakis icosidodecahedron. It is also called a truncated rhombic triacontahedron, constructed as a truncation of the rhombic triacontahedron. It can more accurately be called In geometry, chamfering or edge-truncation is a Conway polyhedron notation operation that modifies one polyhedron into another. It is similar to expansion, moving faces apart and outward, but also maintain the original vertices. For polyhedra, this operation adds a new hexagonal face in place of each original edge. A polyhedron with e edges will have a chamfered form containing 2e new vertices, 3e new edges, and e new hexagonal faces. The chamfered cube is the Minkowski sum of a rhombic dodecahedron and a cube of side length 1 when eight vertices of the rhombic dodecahedron are at.

Chamfered dodecahedron â“ The chamfered dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 80 vertices,120 edges, and 42 faces,30 hexagons and 12 pentagons. It is constructed as a chamfer of a regular dodecahedron, the pentagons are reduced in size and new hexagonal faces are added in place of all the original edges. Its dual is the pentakis icosidodecahedron and it is also called a truncated rhombic triacontahedron, constructed as a truncation of the rhombic triacontahedron. The tetrated dodecahedron is a near-miss Johnson solid. It was first discovered in 2002 by Alex Doskey. It was then independently rediscovered in 2003 and named by Robert Austin. It has 28 faces: twelve regular pentagons arranged in four panels of three pentagons each, four equilateral triangles (shown in blue), and six pairs of isosceles triangles (shown in yellow). All edges of the tetrated dodecahedron have the same length, except for the shared bases of these isosceles triangles, which are.

Systematic Narcissism
Systematic Narcissism Wendy W. Fok University of Houston Systematic Narcissism is a hybridization through the notion of the plane- tary grid system and the symmetry of narcissism. The installation is based on the obsession of the physical reflection of the object/subject relation- ship, created by the idea of man-made versus planetary projected planes (grids) which humans have made onto the earth. ie: Pierre Charles L’Enfant plan 1791 of the golden section projected onto Washington DC. The fostered form is found based on a triacontahedron primitive and devel- oped according to the primitive angles. Every angle has an increment of 0.25m and is based on a system of derivatives. As indicated, the geometry of the world (or the globe) is based off the planetary grid system, which, according to Bethe Hagens and William S. Becker is a hexakis icosahedron grid system. The formal mathematical aspects of the installation are cre- ated by the offset of that geometric form. The base of the planetary grid and the narcissus reflection of the modular pieces intersect the geometry of the interfacing modular that structures the installation BACKGROUND: Poetics: Narcissism is a fixation with oneself. The Greek myth of Narcissus depicted a prince who sat by a reflective pond for days, self-absorbed by his own beauty. Mathematics: In 1978, Professors William Becker and Bethe Hagens extended the Russian model, inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome, into a grid based on the rhombic triacontahedron, the dual of the icosidodeca- heron Archimedean solid. The triacontahedron has 30 diamond-shaped faces, and possesses the combined vertices of the icosahedron and the dodecahedron.

We used Monte Carlo simulations and free-energy calculations to establish the full phase diagram. This phase diagram exhibits a remarkable richness in crystal and mesophase structures, depending sensitively on the precise particle shape. In addition, we examined in detail the nature of the plastic crystal (rotator) phases that appear for intermediate densities and levels of truncation. Our results allow us to probe the relation between phase behavior and building-block shape and to further the understanding of rotator phases. Furthermore, the phase diagram presented here should prove instrumental for guiding future experimental studies on similarly shaped nanoparticles and the creation of new materials.

Smooth & Fractal Polyhedra Ergun Akleman, Paul Edmundson And
Smooth & Fractal Polyhedra Ergun Akleman, Paul Edmundson and Ozan Ozener Visualization Sciences Program, Department of Architecture, 216 Langford Center, College Station, Texas 77843-3137, USA. email: [email protected]. Abstract In this paper, we present a new class of semi-regular polyhedra. All the faces of these polyhedra are bounded by smooth (quadratic B-spline) curves and the face boundaries are C1 discontinues every- where. These semi-regular polyhedral shapes are limit surfaces of a simple vertex truncation subdivision scheme. We obtain an approximation of these smooth fractal polyhedra by iteratively applying a new vertex truncation scheme to an initial manifold mesh. Our vertex truncation scheme is based on Chaikin’s construction. If the initial manifold mesh is a polyhedra only with planar faces and 3-valence vertices, in each iteration we construct polyhedral meshes in which all faces are planar and every vertex is 3-valence, 1 Introduction One of the most exciting aspects of shape modeling and sculpting is the development of new algorithms and methods to create unusual, interesting and aesthetically pleasing shapes. Recent advances in computer graphics, shape modeling and mathematics help the imagination of contemporary mathematicians, artists and architects to design new and unusual 3D forms [11]. In this paper, we present such a unusual class of semi-regular polyhedra that are contradictorily interesting, i.e. they are smooth but yet C1 discontinuous. To create these shapes we apply a polyhedral truncation algorithm based on Chaikin’s scheme to any initial manifold mesh. Figure 1 shows two shapes that are created by using our approach.

E8 Physics and Quasicrystals Icosidodecahedron and Rhombic Triacontahedron Vixra 1301.0150 Frank Dodd (Tony) Smith Jr
E8 Physics and Quasicrystals Icosidodecahedron and Rhombic Triacontahedron vixra 1301.0150 Frank Dodd (Tony) Smith Jr. - 2013 The E8 Physics Model (viXra 1108.0027) is based on the Lie Algebra E8. 240 E8 vertices = 112 D8 vertices + 128 D8 half-spinors where D8 is the bivector Lie Algebra of the Real Clifford Algebra Cl(16) = Cl(8)xCl(8). 112 D8 vertices = (24 D4 + 24 D4) = 48 vertices from the D4xD4 subalgebra of D8 plus 64 = 8x8 vertices from the coset space D8 / D4xD4. 128 D8 half-spinor vertices = 64 ++half-half-spinors + 64 --half-half-spinors. An 8-dim Octonionic Spacetime comes from the Cl(8) factors of Cl(16) and a 4+4 = 8-dim Kaluza-Klein M4 x CP2 Spacetime emerges due to the freezing out of a preferred Quaternionic Subspace. Interpreting World-Lines as Strings leads to 26-dim Bosonic String Theory in which 10 dimensions reduce to 4-dim CP2 and a 6-dim Conformal Spacetime from which 4-dim M4 Physical Spacetime emerges. Although the high-dimensional E8 structures are fundamental to the E8 Physics Model it may be useful to see the structures from the point of view of the familiar 3-dim Space where we live. To do that, start by looking the the E8 Root Vector lattice. Algebraically, an E8 lattice corresponds to an Octonion Integral Domain. There are 7 Independent E8 Lattice Octonion Integral Domains corresponding to the 7 Octonion Imaginaries, as described by H. S. M. Coxeter in "Integral Cayley Numbers" (Duke Math. J. 13 (1946) 561-578 and in "Regular and Semi-Regular Polytopes III" (Math.

Jim Lewis, Advisor July 2008 2 Archimedean Solids A polygon is a simple, closed, planar figure with sides formed by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others. If all of the sides have the same length and all of the angles are congruent, the polygon is called regular. The sum of the angles of a regular polygon with n sides, where n is 3 or more, is 180° x (n – 2) degrees. If a regular polygon were connected with other regular polygons in three dimensional space, a polyhedron could be created. In geometry, a polyhedron is a three- dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons joined at their edges. The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek word poly (many) and the Indo-European term hedron (seat).

A Fun Approach to Teaching Geometry and Inspiring Creativity
Proceedings of Bridges 2013: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture A Fun Approach to Teaching Geometry and Inspiring Creativity Ioana Browne, Michael Browne, Mircea Draghicescu*, Cristina Draghicescu, Carmen Ionescu ITSPHUN LLC 2023 NW Lovejoy St. Portland, OR 97209, USA [email protected] Abstract ITSPHUNTM geometric shapes can be easily combined to create an infinite number of structures both decorative and functional. We introduce this system of shapes, and discuss its use for teaching mathematics. At the workshop, we will provide a large number of pieces of various shapes, demonstrate their use, and give all participants the opportunity to build their own creations at the intersection of art and mathematics. Introduction Connecting pieces of paper by sliding them together along slits or cuts is a well-known method of building 3D objects ([2], [3], [4]). Based on this idea we developed a system of shapes1 that can be used to build arbitrarily complex structures. Among the geometric objects that can be built are Platonic, Archimedean, and Johnson solids, prisms and antiprisms, many nonconvex polyhedra, several space-filling tessellations, etc. Guided by an user’s imagination and creativity, simple objects can then be connected to form more complex constructs. ITSPHUN pieces made of various materials2 can be used for creative play, for making functional and decorative objects such as jewelry, lamps, furniture, and, in classroom, for teaching mathematical concepts.3 1Patent pending. 2We used many kinds of paper, cardboard, foam, several kinds of plastic, wood and plywood, wood veneer, fabric, and felt. 3In addition to models of geometric objects, ITSPHUN shapes have been used to make birds, animals, flowers, trees, houses, hats, glasses, and much more - see a few examples in the photo gallery at www.itsphun.com.

DeepDT learns to predict Camera Center inside/outside labels of Delaunay tetrahedrons directly from Point a point cloud and corresponding Delaunay triangulation. The out local geometry features are first extracted from the input point (a) (b) cloud and aggregated into a graph deriving from the Delau- nay triangulation. Then a graph filtering is applied on the ag- gregated features in order to add structural regularization to Figure 1: A 2D example of reconstructing surface by in/out the label prediction of tetrahedrons.

It is open every day of the year, 24 hours a day, and admission is free. It consists of data for polyhedra and 2-periodic and 3-periodic structures (nets). Visitors unfamiliar with the resource are urged to read the "about" link first. This guide assumes you have. The guide is designed to draw attention to some of the attractions therein. If they sound particularly attractive please visit them. It can be a nice way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon. OKH refers to M. O'Keeffe & B. G. Hyde. Crystal Structures I: Patterns and Symmetry. Mineral. Soc. Am. 1966. This is out of print but due as a Dover reprint 2019. POLYHEDRA Read the "about" for hints on how to use the polyhedron data to make accurate drawings of polyhedra using crystal drawing programs such as CrystalMaker (see "links" for that program). Note that they are Cartesian coordinates for (roughly) equal edge. To make the drawing with unit edge set the unit cell edges to all 10 and divide the coordinates given by 10. There seems to be no generally-agreed best embedding for complex polyhedra. It is generally not possible to have equal edge, vertices on a sphere and planar faces. Keywords used in the search include: Simple. Each vertex is trivalent (three edges meet at each vertex) Simplicial. Each face is a triangle.

Plates. 1. ~NTRODUCTORY STATEMENT THE" crystallography of diamond presents problems of peculiar interest and difficulty. The material as found is usually in the form of complete crystals bounded on all sides by their natural faces, but strangely enough, these faces generally exhibit a marked curvature. The diamonds found in the State of Panna in Central India, for example, are invariably of this kind. Other diamondsJas for example a group of specimens recently acquired for our studies ffom Hyderabad (Deccan)--show both plane and curved faces in combination. Even those diamonds which at first sight seem to resemble the standard forms of geometric crystallography, such as the rhombic dodeca- hedron or the octahedron, are found on scrutiny to exhibit features which preclude such an identification. This is the case, for example, witb. the South African diamonds presented to us for the purpose of these studŸ by the De Beers Mining Corporation of Kimberley. From these facts it is evident that the crystallography of diamond stands in a class by itself apart from that of other substances and needs to be approached from a distinctive stand- point.

Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs
Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs George Olshevsky TETRACOMB is a four-dimensional tessellation. In any tessellation, the honeycells, which are the n-dimensional polytopes that tessellate the space, Amust by definition adjoin precisely along their facets, that is, their ( n!1)- dimensional elements, so that each facet belongs to exactly two honeycells. In the case of tetracombs, the honeycells are four-dimensional polytopes, or polychora, and their facets are polyhedra. For a tessellation to be uniform, the honeycells must all be uniform polytopes, and the vertices must be transitive on the symmetry group of the tessellation. Loosely speaking, therefore, the vertices must be “surrounded all alike” by the honeycells that meet there. If a tessellation is such that every point of its space not on a boundary between honeycells lies in the interior of exactly one honeycell, then it is panoploid. If one or more points of the space not on a boundary between honeycells lie inside more than one honeycell, the tessellation is polyploid. Tessellations may also be constructed that have “holes,” that is, regions that lie inside none of the honeycells; such tessellations are called holeycombs. It is possible for a polyploid tessellation to also be a holeycomb, but not for a panoploid tessellation, which must fill the entire space exactly once. Polyploid tessellations are also called starcombs or star-tessellations. Holeycombs usually arise when (n!1)-dimensional tessellations are themselves permitted to be honeycells; these take up the otherwise free facets that bound the “holes,” so that all the facets continue to belong to two honeycells. In this essay, as per its title, we are concerned with just the uniform panoploid tetracombs.
