Geometry and Crystallography of Self-Supporting Rod Structures

  • Conference paper
Katachi ∪ Symmetry

Abstract

Cylindrical rods with long enough are arranged in some order. The motivation is to construct a generalized crystallography, which unifies periodic and nonperiodic arrangements. It serves as compilation of basic knowledge of arranging and packing, which are fundamental phenomena in physical world. A systematic investigation is done focusing on the possible periodic arrangements of rods taking only six directions. The possible structures are exhaustively studied within a certain condition. It is described in Part I.

In Part II, some description of the related miscellaneous things are given from interdisciplinary viewpoint or for the purpose to see science among culture.

The mathematical part will be published elsewhere.

The article is based on two presentations at the symposium 1: Y. Teshima, Y. Watanabe, and T. Ogawa; The Periodic Six-Axes-Structures in Rod System. 2: T. Ogawa; Puzzle, Science, Culture: Taking Rod Constructions as an Example.
