Encoding Fullerenes and Geodesic Domes
Coxeter’s classification of the highly symmetric geodesic domes (and, by duality, the highly symmetric fullerenes) is extended to a classification scheme for all geodesic domes and fullerenes. Each geodesic dome is characterized by its signature: a plane graph on twelve vertices with labeled angles and edges. In the case of the Coxeter geodesic domes, the plane graph is the icosahedron, all ang...
متن کاملGeodesic Modelling of Planetary Relief
SUMMARY A METHOD for assembling and managing global terrain data is presented, the Geodesic Elevation Model. Derived from concepts in geometry, geography , geodesy, applied mathematics and computer science, GEM is designed to digitally archive and access measurements of points given in latitude, longitude and elevation from any source, by embedding them in a regular, polyhedral data structure. ...
متن کاملIcosadeltahedral geometry of fullerenes, viruses and geodesic domes
I discuss the symmetry of fullerenes, viruses and geodesic domes within a unified framework of icosadeltahedral representation of these objects. The icosadeltahedral symmetry is explained in details by examination of all of these structures. Using Euler’s theorem on polyhedra, it is shown how to calculate the number of vertices, edges, and faces in domes, and number of atoms, bonds and pentagon...
متن کاملSymbiotic Planning for Planetary Exploration
Planetary exploration missions avoid the destinations that offer the greatest scientific payout because they entail risks too great for a primary rover. Given the high costs of sending to extraterrestrial bodies, even the small possibility of losing a primary rover precludes the exploration of important, yet risky features. The solution to this problem is a new paradigm for planetary exploratio...
متن کاملPlanetary Exploration Using Biomimetics
The Mars environment, particularly the low atmospheric density, makes flight much more difficult than on Earth, requiring an aircraft to fly within a very low Reynolds number/high Mach number regime. A possible solution is the use of an entomopter, a mechanical flying machine utilizing insect flight characteristics. Their similar Reynolds number flight regime indicates air vehicle system potent...
