On Flexible Prismatic Polyhedra
Gerald D. Nelson
We demonstrate the existence of four types of flexible prismatic polyhedra that can be derived or inferred from a consideration of Bricard octahedra and generalizations of Bricard…
On the Flexibility of Suspensions
Gerald D. Nelson
We study the flexibility of suspensions (polyhedra having the combinatorial structure of dipyramids) that have an even number of vertexes and provide arguments that there are least…
Generalizations of Bricard octahedra
Gerald D. Nelson
We construct five types of polyhedra by generalizing the description of Bricard octahedra and applying the generalizations to polyhedral suspensions. The resulting polyhedra are fl…
Extending Bricard Octahedra
Gerald D. Nelson
We demonstrate the construction of several families of flexible polyhedra by extending Bricard octahedra to form larger composite flexible polyhedra. These flexible polyhedra are o…
