A flexible bar-and-joint framework is said to be moving expansively if the distance between any two of its joints either increases or stays the same. Expansive motions of finite 2D frameworks have been fully characterized. Here, we investigate their periodic counterparts. The key to their understanding is a family of one-degree-of-freedom mechanisms called periodic pointed pseudo-triangulations. Expansive infinitesimal motions for mechanisms with several degrees of freedom form a polyhedral cone whose extremal rays are obtained from different completions of the framework to pseudo-triangulations. We illustrate its structure on a framework associated to a stellated tiling of the plane.
