  2. Honeycomb (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_(geometry)

    Cubic honeycomb. In geometry, a honeycomb is a space filling or close packing of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions. Its dimension can be clarified as n-honeycomb for a honeycomb of n-dimensional space.

  3. Gyroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroid

    A gyroid minimal surface, coloured to show the Gaussian curvature at each point 3D model of a gyroid unit cell. A gyroid is an infinitely connected triply periodic minimal surface discovered by Alan Schoen in 1970. [1] [2] It arises naturally in polymer science and biology, as an interface with high surface area.

  4. Honeycomb structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_structure

    A major factor in choosing the right mesh is the length ratio (length vs honeycomb cell diameter) L/d. Length ratio < 1: Honeycomb meshes of low length ratio can be used on vehicles front grille. Beside the aesthetic reasons, these meshes are used as screens to get a uniform profile and to reduce the intensity of turbulence. [27]

  5. Order-infinite-3 triangular honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-infinite-3...

    In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-infinite-4 square honeycomb (or 4,∞,4 honeycomb) a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {4,∞,4}. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with four infinite-order square tilings existing around each edge and with an order-4 ...

  6. Order-5-3 square honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-5-3_square_honeycomb

    In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-5-3 pentagonal honeycomb or 5,5,3 honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of an order-5 pentagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle , each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.

  7. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

    The honeycomb conjecture states that hexagonal tiling is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter. The optimal three-dimensional structure for making honeycomb (or rather, soap bubbles) was investigated by Lord Kelvin , who believed that the Kelvin structure (or body-centered cubic lattice) is ...

  8. 5-cell honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-cell_honeycomb

    The cyclotruncated 4-simplex honeycomb or cyclotruncated 5-cell honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation honeycomb. It can also be seen as a birectified 5-cell honeycomb . It is composed of 5-cells , truncated 5-cells , and bitruncated 5-cells facets in a ratio of 2:2:1.

  9. Order-7-3 triangular honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-7-3_triangular_honeycomb

    In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7-4 square honeycomb (or 4,7,4 honeycomb) a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {4,7,4}. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with four order-5 square tilings existing around each edge and with an order-4 heptagonal tiling vertex ...
