Gyrobiprisme triangulaireIn geometry, the gyrobifastigium is the 26th Johnson solid (J_26). It can be constructed by joining two face-regular triangular prisms along corresponding square faces, giving a quarter-turn to one prism. It is the only Johnson solid that can tile three-dimensional space. It is also the vertex figure of the nonuniform p-q duoantiprism (if p and q are greater than 2). Despite the fact that p, q = 3 would yield a geometrically identical equivalent to the Johnson solid, it lacks a circumscribed sphere that touches all vertices, except for the case p = 5, q = 5/3, which represents a uniform great duoantiprism.
Orthobicoupole hexagonaleEn géométrie, l'orthobicoupole hexagonale est un des solides de Johnson (J27). Comme son nom l'indique, il peut être construit en attachant deux coupoles hexagonales (J3) par leurs bases. Il possède un nombre égal de carrés et de triangles à chaque sommet; néanmoins, ses sommets ne sont pas égaux. Lorthobicoupole hexagonale est le premier solide de l'ensemble infini des orthobicoupoles.
BicoupoleEn géométrie, une bicoupole est un solide formé en connectant deux coupoles par leurs bases. Il existe deux classes de bicoupoles parce que chaque moitié de coupole est bordée par une alternance de triangles et de carrés. Si les faces identiques sont placées ensemble, le résultat est une orthobicoupole. Si les faces sont différentes, c'est une gyrobicoupole. Les coupoles et les bicoupoles existent en tant qu'ensembles infinis de polyèdres, comme les pyramides, les bipyramides, les prismes, les antiprismes et les trapèzoèdres.
Rectified 24-cellIn geometry, the rectified 24-cell or rectified icositetrachoron is a uniform 4-dimensional polytope (or uniform 4-polytope), which is bounded by 48 cells: 24 cubes, and 24 cuboctahedra. It can be obtained by rectification of the 24-cell, reducing its octahedral cells to cubes and cuboctahedra. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as tC24. It can also be considered a cantellated 16-cell with the lower symmetries B4 = [3,3,4]. B4 would lead to a bicoloring of the cuboctahedral cells into 8 and 16 each.
Tenségrité (architecture)vignette|Needle Tower II (Tour d'aiguilles II) par au musée Kröller-Müller à Otterlo (Pays-Bas). La tenségrité, soit l'intégrité en tension ou la compression flottante, est en architecture, un principe structurel basé sur un système de composants isolés sous compression à l'intérieur d'un réseau en tension continue, et disposés de telle sorte que les éléments comprimés (généralement des barres ou des entretoises) ne se touchent pas tandis que les éléments tendus précontraints (généralement des câbles ou des tendons) délimitent le système dans l'espace.
Tesseractic honeycombIn four-dimensional euclidean geometry, the tesseractic honeycomb is one of the three regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs), represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,4}, and constructed by a 4-dimensional packing of tesseract facets. Its vertex figure is a 16-cell. Two tesseracts meet at each cubic cell, four meet at each square face, eight meet on each edge, and sixteen meet at each vertex. It is an analog of the square tiling, {4,4}, of the plane and the cubic honeycomb, {4,3,4}, of 3-space.
Chiral polytopeIn mathematics, there are two competing definitions for a chiral polytope. One is that it is a polytope that is chiral (or "enantiomorphic"), meaning that it does not have mirror symmetry. By this definition, a polytope that lacks any symmetry at all would be an example of a chiral polytope. The other, competing definition of a chiral polytope is that it is a polytope that is as symmetric as possible without being mirror-symmetric, formalized in terms of the action of the symmetry group of the polytope on its flags.
CubohémioctaèdreEn géométrie, le cubohémioctaèdre est un polyèdre uniforme non convexe, indexé sous le nom U15. Un polyèdre non convexe a des faces qui se coupent qui ne représentent pas de nouvelles arêtes ou de nouvelles faces. Les 4 hexagones dans ce modèle passent tous à travers le centre du modèle. Les hexagones se coupent les uns les autres et seules des portions triangulaires sont visibles. Les 12 sommets et les 24 arêtes, le long desquelles se trouvent les 6 faces carrées, le cuboctaèdre convexe. Site mathcurve Ca
OctahémioctaèdreIn geometry, the octahemioctahedron or allelotetratetrahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U_3. It has 12 faces (8 triangles and 4 hexagons), 24 edges and 12 vertices. Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral. It is one of nine hemipolyhedra, with 4 hexagonal faces passing through the model center. It is the only hemipolyhedron that is orientable, and the only uniform polyhedron with an Euler characteristic of zero (a topological torus).
24-cell honeycombIn four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the 24-cell honeycomb, or icositetrachoric honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) of 4-dimensional Euclidean space by regular 24-cells. It can be represented by Schläfli symbol {3,4,3,3}. The dual tessellation by regular 16-cell honeycomb has Schläfli symbol {3,3,4,3}. Together with the tesseractic honeycomb (or 4-cubic honeycomb) these are the only regular tessellations of Euclidean 4-space. The 24-cell honeycomb can be constructed as the Voronoi tessellation of the D4 or F4 root lattice.
