Abstract

The wiggled brick bond is a generalized running bond which can be locally compressed. It was introduced to apply a bond onto two intersecting double curved bands. The wiggled bond is capable of shrinking and stretching with a constant gap between the bricks. Furthermore, the wiggled bond provides us with a generic crossing between two brick walls at an arbitrary angle. In this paper the mathematical techniques behind this bond are examined in detail.
