Abstract

Multidisciplinary Sciences Science & Technology Science & Technology - Other Topics
A crystallographic bar-joint framework, C in R-d, is shown to be almost periodically infinitesimally rigid if and only if it is strictly periodically infinitesimally rigid and the rigid unit mode (RUM) spectrum, Omega(C), is a singleton. Moreover, the almost periodic infinitesimal flexes of C are characterised in terms of a matrix-valued function, Phi(C)(z), on the d-torus, T-d, determined by a full rank translation symmetry group and an associated motif of joints and bars.
