  • Ununfoldable Polyhedra with Convex Faces
    Ununfoldable Polyhedra with Convex Faces Marshall Bern¤ Erik D. Demainey David Eppsteinz Eric Kuox Andrea Mantler{ Jack Snoeyink{ k Abstract Unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon is a well-studied prob- lem. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability by studying nonconvex poly- hedra with the same combinatorial structure as convex polyhedra. In particular, we give two examples of polyhedra, one with 24 convex faces and one with 36 triangular faces, that cannot be unfolded by cutting along edges. We further show that such a polyhedron can indeed be unfolded if cuts are allowed to cross faces. Finally, we prove that \open" polyhedra with triangular faces may not be unfoldable no matter how they are cut. 1 Introduction A classic open question in geometry [5, 12, 20, 24] is whether every convex polyhedron can be cut along its edges and flattened into the plane without any overlap. Such a collection of cuts is called an edge cutting of the polyhedron, and the resulting simple polygon is called an edge unfolding or net. While the ¯rst explicit description of this problem is by Shephard in 1975 [24], it has been implicit since at least the time of Albrecht Durer,Ä circa 1500 [11]. It is widely conjectured that every convex polyhedron has an edge unfolding. Some recent support for this conjecture is that every triangulated convex polyhedron has a vertex unfolding, in which the cuts are along edges but the unfolding only needs to be connected at vertices [10]. On the other hand, experimental results suggest that a random edge cutting of ¤Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, 3333 Coyote Hill Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, email: [email protected].

Introduction Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht D¨urer [1525], but have not been studied extensively in the mathematical literature until re- cently. Over the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in these problems in discrete and computational geometry. This paper gives a brief sur- vey of most of the work in this area. Related, shorter surveys are [Connelly and Demaine 2004; Demaine 2001; Demaine and Demaine 2002; O’Rourke 2000]. We are currently preparing a monograph on the topic [Demaine and O’Rourke ≥ 2005].

  • GEOMETRIC FOLDING ALGORITHMS I
    P1: FYX/FYX P2: FYX 0521857570pre CUNY758/Demaine 0 521 81095 7 February 25, 2007 7:5 GEOMETRIC FOLDING ALGORITHMS Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht Dürer in the early 1500s but have only recently been studied in the mathemat- ical literature. Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in these problems, with applications ranging from robotics to protein folding. With an emphasis on algorithmic or computational aspects, this comprehensive treatment of the geometry of folding and unfolding presents hundreds of results and more than 60 unsolved “open prob- lems” to spur further research. The authors cover one-dimensional (1D) objects (linkages), 2D objects (paper), and 3D objects (polyhedra). Among the results in Part I is that there is a planar linkage that can trace out any algebraic curve, even “sign your name.” Part II features the “fold-and-cut” algorithm, establishing that any straight-line drawing on paper can be folded so that the com- plete drawing can be cut out with one straight scissors cut. In Part III, readers will see that the “Latin cross” unfolding of a cube can be refolded to 23 different convex polyhedra. Aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics or computer science, this lavishly illustrated book will fascinate a broad audience, from high school students to researchers. Erik D. Demaine is the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Professor of Elec- trical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he joined the faculty in 2001. He is the recipient of several awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship, a Sloan Fellowship, the Harold E.

Demaine∗† Martin L. Demaine∗ Vi Hart‡ John Iacono§ Stefan Langerman¶ Joseph O’Rourkek June 13, 2009 Abstract We construct the first two continuous bloomings of all convex polyhedra. First, the source unfolding can be continuously bloomed. Second, any unfolding of a convex polyhedron can be refined (further cut, by a linear number of cuts) to have a continuous blooming. 1 Introduction A standard approach to building 3D surfaces from rigid sheet material, such as sheet metal or cardboard, is to design an unfolding: cuts on the 3D surface so that the remainder can unfold (along edge hinges) into a single flat non-self-overlapping piece.

    The Star Unfolding from a Geodesic Curve by Stephen Kiazyk A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 c Stephen Kiazyk 2014 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract An unfolding of a polyhedron P is obtained by `cutting' the surface of P in such a way that it can be flattened into the plane into a single polygon. For most practical and theoretic applications, it is desirable for an algorithm to produce an unfolding which is simple, that is, non-overlapping. Currently, two methods for unfolding which guarantee non-overlap for convex polyhedra are known, the source unfolding, and the star unfolding. Both methods involve computing shortest paths from a single source point on the polyhedron's surface. In this thesis, we attempt to prove non-overlap of a variant called the geodesic star unfolding. This unfolding, much like the star unfolding, is computed by cutting shortest paths from each vertex to λ, a geodesic curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P, and also cutting λ itself. Non-overlap of this case was conjectured by Demaine and Lubiw [15]. We are unsuccessful in completely proving non-overlap, though we present a number of partial results, and discuss some areas for future study.

At first thought it would appear there is little to be said about the mathematics of what is by some approximation merely crumpled paper. Yet there is a surprising amount of conceptual richness to be teased out from between the folds of these paper models. Even though researchers are just at the cusp of understanding the theoretical underpinnings of this an- cient art form, many intriguing applications have arisen|in areas as diverse as satellite deployment and internal medicine. Parallel to the development of these applications, mathematicians have begun to seek descriptions of the capabilities and limitations of origami in a more abstract sense.

For the realization, not only mathematical understanding origami mathematically but also high level computational science is necessary to apply origami into industry. Since Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, how to ensure oneself against danger of tsunami is a major concern around the world, especially in Japan. And, there have been several kinds of commercial products for a tsunami shelter developed and sold. However, they are very large and take space during normal period, therefore I develop an ellipsoid formed tsunami pod which is smaller and folded flat which is stored ordinarily and deployed in case of tsunami arrival. It is named as “tsunami pod”, because its form looks like a shell wrapping beans. Firstly, I verify the stiffness of the tsunami pod and the injury degree of an occupant. By using von Mises equivalent stress to examine the former and Head injury criterion for the latter, it is found that in case of the initial model where an occupant is not fastened, he or she would suffer from serious injuries. Thus, an occupant restraint system imitating the safety bars for a roller coaster is developed and implemented into the tsunami pod.

  • On Rigid Origami I: Piecewise-Planar Paper with Straight-Line Creases
    On Rigid Origami I: Piecewise-planar Paper with Straight-line Creases Zeyuan He, Simon D. Guest∗ January 5, 2021 Abstract We develop a theoretical framework for rigid origami, and show how this framework can be used to connect rigid origami and results from cognate areas, such as the rigidity theory, graph theory, linkage folding and computer science. First, we give definitions on important concepts in rigid origami, then focus on how to describe the configuration space of a creased paper. The shape and 0-connectedness of the configuration space are analysed using algebraic, geometric and numeric methods, where the key results from each method are gathered and reviewed. Keywords: rigid-foldability, folding, configuration 1 Introduction This article develops a general theoretical framework for rigid origami, and uses this to gather and review the progress that researchers have made on the theory of rigid origami, including other related areas, such as rigidity theory, graph theory, linkage folding, and computer science. Origami has been used for many different physical models, as a recent review [1] shows. Sometimes a "rigid" origami model is required where all the deforma- tion is concentrated on the creases. A rigid origami model is usually considered to be a system of rigid panels that are able to rotate around their common boundaries and has been applied to many areas across different length scales [2]. These successful applications have inspired us to focus on the fundamental theory of rigid origami. Ultimately, we are considering two problems: first, the positive problem, which is to find useful sufficient and necessary conditions for a creased paper to be rigid-foldable; second, the inverse problem, which is to approximate a target surface by rigid origami.
