Formulas in 3D-XplorMath: x = 2 cos(t) + cos(2t); y = 2 sin(t) − sin(2t); 0 < t ≤ 2π; and its implicit equation is: (x2 + y2)2 − 8x(x2 − 3y2) + 18(x2 + y2) − 27 = 0: The Deltoid or Tricuspid The Deltoid is also known as the Tricuspid, and can be defined as the trace of a point on one circle that rolls inside * This file is from the 3D-XplorMath project.

O is the center of the fixed circle of radius a, C the center of the rolling circle of radius a=3, and P the tracing point. OHCJ, JPT and TAOGE are colinear, where G and A are distant a=3 from O, and A is the center of the rolling circle with radius 2a=3. PHG is colinear and gives the tangent at P. Triangles TEJ, TGP, and JHP are all similar and T P=JP = 2 . Angle JCP = 3∗Angle BOJ. Let the point Q (not shown) be the intersection of JE and the circle centered on C. Points Q, P are symmetric with respect to point C. The intersection of OQ, PJ forms the center of osculating circle at P. 3 The Deltoid has numerous interesting properties. Properties Tangent Let A be the center of the curve, B be one of the cusp points,and P be any point on the curve.

    ENTRY CURVES [ENTRY CURVES] Authors: Oliver Knill, Andrew Chi, 2003 Literature: www.mathworld.com, www.2dcurves.com astroid An [astroid] is the curve t (cos3(t); a sin3(t)) with a > 0. An asteroid is a 4-cusped hypocycloid. It is sometimes also called a tetracuspid,7! cubocycloid, or paracycle. Archimedes spiral An [Archimedes spiral] is a curve described as the polar graph r(t) = at where a > 0 is a constant. In words: the distance r(t) to the origin grows linearly with the angle. bowditch curve The [bowditch curve] is a special Lissajous curve r(t) = (asin(nt + c); bsin(t)). brachistochone A [brachistochone] is a curve along which a particle will slide in the shortest time from one point to an other. It is a cycloid. Cassini ovals [Cassini ovals] are curves described by ((x + a) + y2)((x a)2 + y2) = k4, where k2 < a2 are constants. They are named after the Italian astronomer Goivanni Domenico− Cassini (1625-1712). Geometrically Cassini ovals are the set of points whose product to two fixed points P = ( a; 0); Q = (0; 0) in the plane is the constant k 2. For k2 = a2, the curve is called a Lemniscate. − cardioid The [cardioid] is a plane curve belonging to the class of epicycloids. The fact that it has the shape of a heart gave it the name. The cardioid is the locus of a fixed point P on a circle roling on a fixed circle. In polar coordinates, the curve given by r(φ) = a(1 + cos(φ)). catenary The [catenary] is the plane curve which is the graph y = c cosh(x=c).

    The Astroid, the Deltoid and the Fish Within the Fish

    The astroid, the deltoid and the fish within the fish 1 Prologue oṃ hrīṃ bhuvaneśvaryai namaḥ | We start by worshiping Devī Bhuvaneśvarī the mistress of the cakra in the form of the astroid. As a kid the light from the street lamp used to pass through the corrugated glass of the win- dow in our room and produce some interesting curves. The most prominent of these was one with four cusps, which we learned from a book of our father to be an astroid. We soon discovered for ourselves that it could be constructed using the spirograph principle: when rotated inside another circle, with radius 4 times its radius, a point a point on the circumference of a circle traces out an astroid (Figure 1). Likewise, when we did the same with circles that had radii in the ratio of 1:3 we got a tricuspid curve that we learned was called the deltoid (Figure 2). Finally, when we did this with circles having radii in the ratio of 1:2 we got the diameter of the larger circle (Figure 3). In doing so we had recapitulated what the Hashishin marūnmatta scientist Nasir al-din al-Tusi had done in the days of the Il-Khan Hulegu. This also corresponded to what we could learn about the construction of this family of curves, namely the hypocycloids, from our father’s book. However, we were keen to have other means for constructing these curves because our spirograph could not draw them properly as the hole for the pen was not ideally positioned.

    ASTROID - NEPHROID DELTOID - CARDIOID ORTHOCYCLOIDALS - Part XVIII

    ASTROID - NEPHROID DELTOID - CARDIOID ORTHOCYCLOIDALS - Part XVIII - C. Masurel 08/01/2017 Abstract Astroid and Nephroid are close curves with many relations. They are special examples of hypercycles proposed by Laguerre to generalize polarity in the plane for curves of class four by analogy with polarity for conics of class two. We present a transformation that links couples of orthocycloidals and curves transformed by central inversion and apply it to astroid/nephroid and deltoid/cardioid. We also give a proof of an old central polar equation of the Nephroid. 1 Epicycloids, hypocycloids and orthocycloidals We have seen in part XIV that couples of ortho cycloidals can move inside a couple of epi- and hypo-cycloids in such a way that all cusps stay on epi- and hypo-cycloids and the curves pass through their common cusps and keep orthogonal crossing. F. Morley in [6] indicates that "the only points at infinity of cycloidals of degree 2p are the cyclic points I and J counted each p times. In the epicy- cloid the singular tangents at I and J are directed to the origin, where all the foci are collected. The center being the mean of the foci, the origin is also the center of the curve. Inthe epicycloid the line IJ is the singular tangent at both I and J, and there are no finite foci." This is an incitement to study cycloidals in polar coordinates with O at the center of the fixed circle of the cycloidal. So we examine some special cases of orthocycloidals using central polar equa- tion of cycloidals of F.
