Folding and tiling
نویسنده
چکیده
We exhibit a relation between folds and a tile of the plane. More precisely, given a -nite word coding vertical and horizontal folds we give a necessary and su/cient condition in order to tile the plane with a set of tiles constructed with copies of the unfold surface. c © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Paperfolding Sequences, Paperfolding Curves and Local Isomorphism
For each integer n, an n-folding curve is obtained by folding n times a strip of paper in two, possibly up or down, and unfolding it with right angles. Generalizing the usual notion of infinite folding curve, we define complete folding curves as the curves without endpoint which are unions of increasing sequences of n-folding curves for n integer. We prove that there exists a standard way to ex...
متن کاملGeometric and combinatorial structure of a class of spherical folding tesselations - II
The classification of the dihedral folding tessellations of the sphere whose prototiles are a kite and an equilateral or isosceles triangle was recently achieved. In this paper we complete the classification of spherical folding tessellations by kites and scalene triangles, where the shorter side of the kite is equal to the longest side of the triangle, initiated in [C.P. Avelino and A.F. Santo...
متن کاملSpherical and planar folding tessellations by kites and equilateral triangles
We prove that there is a unique folding tessellation of the sphere and an infinite family of folding tessellations of the plane with prototiles a kite and an equilateral triangle. Each tiling of this family is obtained by successive gluing of two patterns composed of triangles and kites, respectively. The combinatorial structure and the symmetry group is achieved.
متن کاملMulti-crease Self-folding by Uniform Heating
This paper presents a self-folding method for multi-crease structures. The proposed method utilizes the symmetric breaking of a 3-layered two-dimensional sheet, where an inner contraction sheet induces shear force when heated, which directs the inclined folding direction. The fabrication technique developed enables distant placements of tiling patterns of the surfaces. The experimental result s...
متن کاملPolygonal tiling of some surfaces containing fullerene molecules
A tiling of a surface is a decomposition of the surface into pieces, i.e. tiles, which cover it without gaps or overlaps. In this paper some special polygonal tiling of sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, and torus as the most abundant shapes of fullerenes are investigated.
