In [[geometry]], a '''flexible polyhedron''' is a [[Polyhedron|polyhedral]] [[surface]] that allows continuous non-[[rigid (structural)|rigid]] [[Deformation (engineering)|deformation]]s such that all faces remain rigid. The [[Cauchy's theorem (geometry)|Cauchy rigidity theorem]] shows that in dimension 3 such a polyhedron cannot be [[convex set|convex]] (this is also true in higher dimensions).

The first examples of flexible polyhedra, now called '''Bricard's octahedra''',  were discovered by {{harvs|txt|authorlink=Raoul Bricard|first=Raoul |last=Bricard |year= 1897}}.  They are self-intersecting surfaces [[isometry|isometric]] to an [[octahedron]].  The first example of a non-self-intersecting surface in '''R'''<sup>3</sup>, the '''Connelly sphere''', was discovered by {{harvs|txt|authorlink=Robert Connelly|first=Robert |last=Connelly |year= 1977}}.
 
== Bellows conjecture ==
 
In the late 1970s Connelly and [[D. Sullivan]] formulated the '''Bellows conjecture''' stating that the [[volume]] of a flexible polyhedron is invariant under flexing.  This conjecture was proved for polyhedra [[homeomorphic]] to a [[sphere]] by {{harvs|txt | last1=[[:ru:Сабитов, Иджад Хакович|Sabitov]] | first1=I.

using  [[elimination theory]], and then proved for  general [[Orientability|orientable]] 2-dimensional polyhedral surfaces by  {{harvs|txt | last1=Connelly | first1=Robert | last2=Sabitov | first2=I. | last3=Walz | first3=Anke | title=The bellows conjecture | mr=1447981  | year=1997 | journal=Beiträge zur Algebra und Geometrie.

== Scissor congruence ==
 
Connelly conjectured that the [[Hilbert's third problem|Dehn invariant]] of a flexible polyhedron is invariant under flexing.  This is known as the '''strong bellows conjecture'''.  Preservation of the Dehn invariant is known to be equivalent to [[scissors congruence]] of the enclosed region under flexing. The special case of [[mean curvature]] has been proved by Ralph Alexander.
 
== Generalizations ==
 
Flexible [[polychora]] in 4-dimensional Euclidean space and 3-dimensional [[Hyperbolic geometry|hyperbolic space]] were studied by [[Hellmuth Stachel]]. In November 2009 it was not known whether flexible polytopes exist in Euclidean space of dimension <math>n\geq 5</math>.
