UC50-2 Small Stellated Dodecahedra
SM ''UC-5'' was a German Type UC I minelayer submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (german: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. The U-boat had been ordered by November 1914 and was launched on 13 June 1915. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 19 June 1915 as SM ''UC-5''."SM" stands for "Seiner Majestät" (English "His Majesty's") and combined with the ''U'' for ''Unterseeboot'' would be translated as "His Majesty's Submarine". She served in World War I under the command of Herbert Pustkuchen (June - December 1915) and Ulrich Mohrbutter (December 1915 - April 1916). She ran aground and was abandoned but recovered by the Allies and displayed for propaganda purposes. Design A German Type UC I submarine, ''UC-5'' had a displacement of when at the surface and while submerged. She had a length overall of , a beam of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by one Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft six-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine produci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Compound Of Two Icosahedra
This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 2 icosahedra. It has octahedral symmetry ''Oh''. As a holosnub, it is represented by Schläfli symbol β and Coxeter diagram . The triangles in this compound decompose into two orbits under action of the symmetry group: 16 of the triangles lie in coplanar pairs in octahedral planes, while the other 24 lie in unique planes. It shares the same vertex arrangement as a nonuniform truncated octahedron, having irregular hexagons alternating with long and short edges. The icosahedron, as a uniform ''snub tetrahedron'', is similar to these snub-pair compounds: compound of two snub cubes and compound of two snub dodecahedra. Together with its convex hull, it represents the icosahedron-first projection of the nonuniform snub tetrahedral antiprism. Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the permutations of : (±1, 0, ±τ) where τ = (1+)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes writ ...

Edge-transitive
In geometry, a polytope (for example, a polygon or a polyhedron) or a tiling is isotoxal () or edge-transitive if its symmetries act transitively on its edges. Informally, this means that there is only one type of edge to the object: given two edges, there is a translation, rotation, and/or reflection that will move one edge to the other, while leaving the region occupied by the object unchanged. Isotoxal polygons An isotoxal polygon is an even-sided i.e. equilateral polygon, but not all equilateral polygons are isotoxal. The duals of isotoxal polygons are isogonal polygons. Isotoxal 4n-gons are centrally symmetric, so are also zonogons. In general, an isotoxal 2n-gon has \mathrm_n, (^*nn) dihedral symmetry. For example, a rhombus is an isotoxal "2×2-gon" (quadrilateral) with \mathrm_2, (^*22) symmetry. All regular polygons ( equilateral triangle, square, etc.) are isotoxal, having double the minimum symmetry order: a regular n-gon has \mathrm_n, (^*nn) dihedral sy ...

Face-transitive
In geometry, a tessellation of dimension (a plane tiling) or higher, or a polytope of dimension (a polyhedron) or higher, is isohedral or face-transitive if all its faces are the same. More specifically, all faces must be not merely congruent but must be ''transitive'', i.e. must lie within the same ''symmetry orbit''. In other words, for any two faces and , there must be a symmetry of the ''entire'' figure by translations, rotations, and/or reflections that maps onto . For this reason, convex isohedral polyhedra are the shapes that will make fair dice. Isohedral polyhedra are called isohedra. They can be described by their face configuration. An isohedron has an even number of faces. The dual of an isohedral polyhedron is vertex-transitive, i.e. isogonal. The Catalan solids, the bipyramids, and the trapezohedra are all isohedral. They are the duals of the (isogonal) Archimedean solids, prisms, and antiprisms, respectively. The Platonic solids, which are either se ...

Vertex-transitive
In geometry, a polytope (e.g. a polygon or polyhedron) or a tiling is isogonal or vertex-transitive if all its vertices are equivalent under the symmetries of the figure. This implies that each vertex is surrounded by the same kinds of face in the same or reverse order, and with the same angles between corresponding faces. Technically, one says that for any two vertices there exists a symmetry of the polytope mapping the first isometrically onto the second. Other ways of saying this are that the group of automorphisms of the polytope '' acts transitively'' on its vertices, or that the vertices lie within a single '' symmetry orbit''. All vertices of a finite -dimensional isogonal figure exist on an -sphere. The term isogonal has long been used for polyhedra. Vertex-transitive is a synonym borrowed from modern ideas such as symmetry groups and graph theory. The pseudorhombicuboctahedronwhich is ''not'' isogonaldemonstrates that simply asserting that "all vertices look th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uniform Polyhedron Compound
In geometry, a uniform polyhedron compound is a polyhedral compound whose constituents are identical (although possibly enantiomorphous) uniform polyhedra, in an arrangement that is also uniform, i.e. the symmetry group of the compound acts transitively on the compound's vertices. The uniform polyhedron compounds were first enumerated by John Skilling in 1976, with a proof that the enumeration is complete. The following table lists them according to his numbering. The prismatic compounds of prisms ( UC20 and UC21) exist only when , and when and are coprime. The prismatic compounds of antiprisms ( UC22, UC23, UC24 and UC25) exist only when , and when and are coprime. Furthermore, when , the antiprisms degenerate into tetrahedra with digon In geometry, a digon is a polygon with two sides (edges) and two vertices. Its construction is degenerate in a Euclidean plane because either the two sides would coincide or one or both would have to be curved; however, it can ...
