Solids Whose Parallel Cross-Sections are Regular Polygons
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a solid in R3 whose base is contained in the xy-plane and parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the xy-plane are regular polygons, the volume and surface area are determined. Additionally, the asymptotic behavior of the solid as the number of sides of the crosssectional polygon increases is analyzed.

Affinely Regular Polygons as Extremals of Area Functionals
For any convex n-gon P we consider the polygons obtained dropping a vertex or an edge of P . The area distance of P to such (n − 1)-gons, divided by the area of P , is an affinely invariant functional on n-gons whose maximizers coincide with the affinely regular polygons. We provide a complete proof of this result. We extend these area functionals to planar convex bodies and we present connecti...
متن کاملConvective Heat Transfer in Microchannels of Noncircular Cross Sections: An Analytical Approach
Analytical solutions are presented for velocity and temperature distributions of laminar fully developed flow of Newtonian, constant property fluids in micro/minichannels of hyperelliptical and regular polygonal cross sections. The considered geometries cover several common shapes such as ellipse, rectangle, rectangle with round corners, rhombus, star-shape, and all regular polygons. The analys...

متن کاملRegular Honeycombs in Elliptic Space
WHEN the elliptic plane is derived from a sphere by identifying antipodal points, the five convex regular solids inscribed in the sphere yield five regular tessellations of the elliptic plane: arrangements of equal regular polygons fitting together to fill the plane without interstices. The actual cases are exhibited in Table I, where the last column indicates that, since the tetrahedron lacks ...
