PART MODELING ASSIGNMENT 7: Plane and Space Curves Objective: The aim of this assignment is to create some plane and space curves and use them to make parts PART I Helical Spring Helix is a common space curve, which has many engineering applications, E.g. instance, helical spring, staircase etc. Figure 1: Helical spring Procedure: 1. Generating a helix: Using function spline we create a helix with details as given in figure 2. Recall the parametric equation of a helix. x = r cos(u); y = r sin(u) z = bu , where u is the parameter, r is the radius and b is a constant that gives the longitudinal spacing between the turns. Figure 2: Algebraic Equation Editor of Function Spline and its result 1 2. Now we create a helical solid using Sweep command. The helix created in the previous step will be used as the Path Curve in this procedure. Draw a circle of 5mm radius as the Cross Sectional curve for creating this solid Figure 3: The Sweep command with its result Exercise 7a: Spiral of Archimedes Model a spiral shaped spring as shown in figure 4 below. Take the cross section as a circle of 5mm diameter and the spring should have about 6 turns. Write downs the parametric equations used to generate this object. Hint: What changes in the (parametric) equation of helix will give you a spiral? Figure 4: Archimedean Spiral and spring 2 Exercise 7b: Battery Spring A metallic battery spring holds the battery in place and also connects the electrode to the circuit. Usually it is in the form of a conical helix as shown in figure 5 below. Model a spring of the above description with a circular cross section of 5mm diameter and having about 6 turns. Hint: Now we combine the features of spiral and helix together Figure 5: Spring in the shape of conical helix Exercise 7c: In and Out Curve A curve created by starting with a circle, dividing it into six equal arcs, and flipping three alternating arcs. The process could then be repeated an infinite number of times. These curves are useful in designing parts like cams, timer gears, rotating lobes etc. Create the following in and out curve starting from a circle of radius 50mm. Figure 6: The in a nd out curve 3 Hint: The solution is shown for n=4, extend it to n=6 Figure 7: The in and out curv e for n=4 (divisions) Figure 8: Starting step for an i n and out curve with n=6 4.

A Characterization of Helical Polynomial Curves of Any Degree
A CHARACTERIZATION OF HELICAL POLYNOMIAL CURVES OF ANY DEGREE J. MONTERDE Abstract. We give a full characterization of helical polynomial curves of any degree and a simple way to construct them. Existing results about Hermite interpolation are revisited. A simple method to select the best quintic interpolant among all possible solutions is suggested. 1. Introduction The notion of helical polynomial curves, i.e, polynomial curves which made a constant angle with a ¯xed line in space, have been studied by di®erent authors. Let us cite the papers [5, 6, 7] where the main results about the cubical and quintic cases are stablished. In [5] the authors gives a necessary condition a polynomial curve must satisfy in order to be a helix. The condition is expressed in terms of its hodograph, i.e., its derivative. If a polynomial curve, ®, is a helix then its hodograph, ®0, must be Pythagorean, i.e., jj®0jj2 is a perfect square of a polynomial. Moreover, this condition is su±cient in the cubical case: all PH cubical curves are helices. In the same paper it is also stated that not only ®0 must be Pythagorean, but also ®0^®00. Following the same ideas, in [1] it is proved that both conditions are su±cient in the quintic case. Unfortunately, this characterization is no longer true for higher degrees. It is possible to construct examples of polynomial curves of degree 7 verifying both conditions but being not a helix. The aim of this paper is just to show how a simple geometric trick can clarify the proofs of some previous results and to simplify the needed compu- tations to solve some related problems as for instance, the Hermite problem using helical polynomial curves.

The Ordered Distribution of Natural Numbers on the Square Root Spiral
The Ordered Distribution of Natural Numbers on the Square Root Spiral - Harry K. Hahn - Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 10 D-76275 Et Germanytlingen, Germany ------------------------------ mathematical analysis by - Kay Schoenberger - Humboldt-University Berlin ----------------------------- 20. June 2007 Abstract : Natural numbers divisible by the same prime factor lie on defined spiral graphs which are running through the “Square Root Spiral“ ( also named as “Spiral of Theodorus” or “Wurzel Spirale“ or “Einstein Spiral” ). Prime Numbers also clearly accumulate on such spiral graphs. And the square numbers 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 … form a highly three-symmetrical system of three spiral graphs, which divide the square-root-spiral into three equal areas. A mathematical analysis shows that these spiral graphs are defined by quadratic polynomials. The Square Root Spiral is a geometrical structure which is based on the three basic constants: 1, sqrt2 and π (pi) , and the continuous application of the Pythagorean Theorem of the right angled triangle. Fibonacci number sequences also play a part in the structure of the Square Root Spiral. Fibonacci Numbers divide the Square Root Spiral into areas and angle sectors with constant proportions. These proportions are linked to the “golden mean” ( golden section ), which behaves as a self-avoiding-walk- constant in the lattice-like structure of the square root spiral.

Chapter 2. Parameterized Curves in R3
Chapter 2. Parameterized Curves in R3 Def. A smooth curve in R3 is a smooth map σ :(a, b) → R3. For each t ∈ (a, b), σ(t) ∈ R3. As t increases from a to b, σ(t) traces out a curve in R3. In terms of components, σ(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)) , (1) or x = x(t) σ : y = y(t) a < t < b , z = z(t) dσ velocity at time t: (t) = σ0(t) = (x0(t), y0(t), z0(t)) . dt dσ speed at time t: (t) = |σ0(t)| dt Ex. σ : R → R3, σ(t) = (r cos t, r sin t, 0) - the standard parameterization of the unit circle, x = r cos t σ : y = r sin t z = 0 σ0(t) = (−r sin t, r cos t, 0) |σ0(t)| = r (constant speed) 1 Ex. σ : R → R3, σ(t) = (r cos t, r sin t, ht), r, h > 0 constants (helix). σ0(t) = (−r sin t, r cos t, h) √ |σ0(t)| = r2 + h2 (constant) Def A regular curve in R3 is a smooth curve σ :(a, b) → R3 such that σ0(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ (a, b). That is, a regular curve is a smooth curve with everywhere nonzero velocity. Ex. Examples above are regular. Ex. σ : R → R3, σ(t) = (t3, t2, 0). σ is smooth, but not regular: σ0(t) = (3t2, 2t, 0) , σ0(0) = (0, 0, 0) Graph: x = t3 y = t2 = (x1/3)2 σ : y = t2 ⇒ y = x2/3 z = 0 There is a cusp, not because the curve isn’t smooth, but because the velocity = 0 at the origin.

Archimedean Spirals ∗
Archimedean Spirals ∗ An Archimedean Spiral is a curve defined by a polar equation of the form r = θa, with special names being given for certain values of a. For example if a = 1, so r = θ, then it is called Archimedes’ Spiral. Archimede’s Spiral For a = −1, so r = 1/θ, we get the reciprocal (or hyperbolic) spiral. Reciprocal Spiral ∗This file is from the 3D-XploreMath project. You can find it on the web by searching the name. 1 √ The case a = 1/2, so r = θ, is called the Fermat (or hyperbolic) spiral. Fermat’s Spiral √ While a = −1/2, or r = 1/ θ, it is called the Lituus. Lituus In 3D-XplorMath, you can change the parameter a by going to the menu Settings → Set Parameters, and change the value of aa. You can see an animation of Archimedean spirals where the exponent a varies gradually, from the menu Animate → Morph. 2 The reason that the parabolic spiral and the hyperbolic spiral are so named is that their equations in polar coordinates, rθ = 1 and r2 = θ, respectively resembles the equations for a hyperbola (xy = 1) and parabola (x2 = y) in rectangular coordinates. The hyperbolic spiral is also called reciprocal spiral because it is the inverse curve of Archimedes’ spiral, with inversion center at the origin. The inversion curve of any Archimedean spirals with respect to a circle as center is another Archimedean spiral, scaled by the square of the radius of the circle. This is easily seen as follows. If a point P in the plane has polar coordinates (r, θ), then under inversion in the circle of radius b centered at the origin, it gets mapped to the point P 0 with polar coordinates (b2/r, θ), so that points having polar coordinates (ta, θ) are mapped to points having polar coordinates (b2t−a, θ).

On Helices and Bertrand Curves in Euclidean 3-Space
ON HELİCES AND BERTRAND CURVES IN EUCLİDEAN 3-SPACE Murat Babaarslan Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science and Arts Bozok University, Yozgat, Turkey [email protected] Yusuf Yaylı Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Ankara University, Tandoğan, Ankara, Turkey [email protected] Abstract- In this article, we investigate Bertrand curves corresponding to spherical images of the tangent indicatrix, binormal indicatrix, principal normal indicatrix and Darboux indicatrix of a space curve in Euclidean 3-space. As a result, in case of a space curve is general helix, we show that curve corresponding to spherical images of its tangent indicatrix and binormal indicatrix are circular helices and Bertrand curves. Similarly, in case of a space curve is slant helix, we demonstrate that the curve corresponding to spherical image of its principal normal indicatrix is circular helix and Bertrand curve. Key Words- Helix, Bertrand curve, Spherical Images 1. INTRODUCTION In the differential geometry of a regular curve in Euclidean 3-space E3 , it is well known that, one of the important problems is characterization of a regular curve. The curvature and the torsion of a regular curve play an important role to determine the shape and size of the curve 1,2. Natural scientists have long held a fascination, sometimes bordering on mystical obsession for helical structures in nature. Helices arise in nanosprings, carbon nonotubes, helices, DNA double and collagen triple helix, the double helix shape is commonly associated with DNA, since the double helix is structure of DNA 3 . This fact was published for the first time by Watson and Crick in 1953 4.

Analysis of Spiral Curves in Traditional Cultures
Forum _______________________________________________________________ Forma, 22, 133–139, 2007 Analysis of Spiral Curves in Traditional Cultures Ryuji TAKAKI1 and Nobutaka UEDA2 1Kobe Design University, Nishi-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-2196, Japan 2Hiroshima-Gakuin, Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, Hiroshima 733-0875, Japan *E-mail address: [email protected] *E-mail address: [email protected] (Received November 3, 2006; Accepted August 10, 2007) Keywords: Spiral, Curvature, Logarithmic Spiral, Archimedean Spiral, Vortex Abstract. A method is proposed to characterize and classify shapes of plane spirals, and it is applied to some spiral patterns from historical monuments and vortices observed in an experiment. The method is based on a relation between the length variable along a curve and the radius of its local curvature. Examples treated in this paper seem to be classified into four types, i.e. those of the Archimedean spiral, the logarithmic spiral, the elliptic vortex and the hyperbolic spiral. 1. Introduction Spiral patterns are seen in many cultures in the world from ancient ages. They give us a strong impression and remind us of energy of the nature. Human beings have been familiar to natural phenomena and natural objects with spiral motions or spiral shapes, such as swirling water flows, swirling winds, winding stems of vines and winding snakes. It is easy to imagine that powerfulness of these phenomena and objects gave people a motivation to design spiral shapes in monuments, patterns of cloths and crafts after spiral shapes observed in their daily lives. Therefore, it would be reasonable to expect that spiral patterns in different cultures have the same geometrical properties, or at least are classified into a small number of common types.

Effect of Superhelical Structure on the Secondary Structure of DNA Rings
VOL. 5, PP. 691-696 (1967) Effect of Superhelical Structure on the Secondary Structure of DNA Rings DANIEL GLAUBIGER and JOHN E. HEARST, Departnient of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, California Synopsis A quantity, called the linking number, is defined, which specifies the total number of t,wists in a circular helix. The linking number is invariant under continuous deforma- tions of the ring and therefore enables one to calculate the influence of superhelical structures on the secondary helix of a circular molecule. The linking number can be determined by projecting the helix into a plane and counting strand crosses in the projection as described. For example, it has been shown that for each 180" twist in a left-handed superhelix, a right-handed 360" twist is removed from the secondary helix, thus allowing local unwinding. Introduction It is of interest to relate superhelical structure of helical molecules to their secondary structure.' By defining a quantity characteristic of two- stranded circular helical niolecules, related to the helical structure, and in- variant under continuous deformations of the molecule, we are able to evaluate the changes in helical structure brought about by the imposition of superhelical configurations on such molecules. The quantity of interest, called the linking number, is related to the number of turns/cycle for a circular helical molecule.* It will be shown that superhelical structures which are made from helical polymers con- tribute to this number and alter the contribution made by the secondary structure of the molecule to this number. This is made manifest as a change in the number of turns/cycle or as a change in the number of turns/ unit length.

Please join me on an adventure that I have taken over the past three 884 and 886. years. I described this type of voyage to my daughters many years ago as “discovery,” in which you walk down certain common pathways but always see something different on that journey. I will tell you about my concept of how the helix and the heart affect nature, the heart, and the human. ITo pursue this new route, I select a comment from my hero, Albert Einstein, who said, “All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike, and yet www.mosby.com/jtcvs is the most precious thing we have.” We all have to be students, who are often wrong and always in doubt, while a professor is sometimes wrong and never in doubt. Please join me on my student pathway to see something I discovered recently and will now share with you. The object of our affection is the heart, which is, in reality, a helix that contains an apex. The cardiac helix form, in Figure 1, was described in the 1660s by Lower as having an apical vortex, in which the muscle ﬁbers go from outside in, in a clockwise way, and from inside out, in a counterclockwise direction.
