Polyhedral Maps of Cubic Graphs with given Automorphism Groups

Ugo Detaille, Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya +1

L. Babai introduced a method for constructing a cubic graph whose automorphism group is isomorphic to a given finite group , obtained by modifying a corresponding Cayley graph o…

Strong Embeddings of Regular Graphs with Prescribed Automorphism Groups

Reymond Akpanya, Tom Goertzen, Meike Weiß

A classical theorem of Frucht states that every finite group occurs as the automorphism group of a finite graph. We prove an embedded analogue for regular graphs of arbitrary degre…

Construction Methods for Space-Filling Heterogeneous Topological Interlocking Assemblies

Meike Weiß, Alice C. Niemeyer

Deforming fundamental domains of wallpaper groups provides a systematic way to generate non-convex blocks which admit topological interlocking assemblies (TIAs). We use this approa…

Influence of the geometry on the mechanical performance of tubular interlockings: A study of the Sine Block

Domen Macek, Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya +3

Topological interlocking assemblies (TIA) are arrangements of blocks such that rigid-body motions of the blocks are fully constrained by their neighbours and a fixed frame. In this…

On 3-Connected Planar Graphs with Unique Orientable Circuit Double Covers

Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya, Alice C. Niemeyer

A circuit double cover of a bridgeless graph is a collection of even subgraphs such that every edge is contained in exactly two subgraphs of the given collection. Such a circuit do…

Influence of a generative parameter on the mechanical performance of topological interlocking assemblies of a hexagonal block

Lukas Schnelle, Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya +2

A topological interlocking assembly is an arrangement of blocks, where all blocks are kinematically constrained by their neighboring blocks and a fixed frame. This concept has been…

On 3-Connected Cubic Planar Graphs and their Strong Embeddings on Orientable Surfaces

Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya, Alice C. Niemeyer

Although the strong embedding of a 3-connected planar graph on the sphere is unique, can have different inequivalent strong embeddings on a surface of positive genus. If $G…

Interplay of Cubic Graphs and Simplicial Surfaces

Meike Weiß, Alice C. Niemeyer

Simplicial surfaces describe the incidence relations between vertices, edges and faces of triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds in a purely combinatorial way. By considering only th…

Strong Embeddings of 3-Connected Cubic Planar Graphs on Surfaces of non-negative Euler Characteristic

Meike Weiß, Alice C. Niemeyer

Whitney proved that 3-connected planar graphs admit a unique embedding on the sphere. In contrast, Enami investigated embeddings of 3-connected cubic planar graphs on non-spherical…

Mechanical Comparison of Arrangement Strategies for Topological Interlocking Assemblies

Tom Goertzen, Domen Macek, Lukas Schnelle +4

Topological Interlocking assemblies are arrangements of blocks kinematically constrained by a fixed frame, such that all rigid body motions of each block are constrained only by it…
