Sufficiently Fat Polyhedra are Not 2-Castable

چکیده
In this note we consider the problem of manufacturing a convex polyhedral object via casting. We consider a generalization of the sand casting process where the object is manufactured by gluing together two identical faces of parts cast with a single piece mold. In this model we show that the class of convex polyhedra which can be enclosed between two concentric spheres with the ratio of their radii less than 1.07 cannot be manufactured using only two cast parts.

متن کاملNo-net Polyhedra
1. Introduction. It is often said that when the conditions are right, discoveries are made by different people at the same time. The discovery of the non-Euclidean geometry, and the invention of calculus are the most frequently mentioned examples. Here is another example (with an incomparably less significant subject) which I noticed recently. My note [4] described a starshaped polyhedron which...
متن کاملModelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra
A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of low cement castable sintered at different temperatures#
The low cement high alumina castable (LCC) studied in this paper was synthesised, cured and then treated at different sintering temperatures. Since any inhomogeneity introduced during the castable preparation can remain inside the material degrading its properties and therefore the quality during service life, particular attention was given to the processing procedure in order to produce the ma...

A basic alumina-spinel low cement castable (LCC) composed of sintered bauxite, reactive alumina, calcined alumina, calcined magnesia, microsilica, and high alumina refractory cement was prepared (castable A) to which 5% sodium hexa-meta phosphate was later added (castable B) to prepare samples for heat treatment at 110ºC, 900ºC, and 1400ºC. Bulk Density (BD), Apparent Porosity (AP), and Cold Cr...
