Abstract Spirals based on quadratic Bézier, cubic Bésier, Pythagorean hodogragh (PH) cu- bic. PH quintic and clothoid curves are suitable /or CAD and cornputer-aided geornet- ric design (CAGDJ applications. The cfothoidal spiral segments are widely used in highwa y design. railwa y design and robot trajecto ries. For CNC machining eompared with polyline approximations, the suggested arc spline approximations avoid sudden changes in the direction of the tool path, decrease the number of segments for approx- imation and lessen the need to polish objects. In this dissertation an existing method is generalized to approximate a planar spiral segment so that it can be applied to a large class of spiral segments. The properties of several spiral segments are analyred and their approzimations by the proposed method are presented.

  • 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.

  • 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).

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.

  • Superconics + Spirals 17 July 2017 1 Superconics + Spirals Cye H
    Superconics + Spirals 17 July 2017 Superconics + Spirals Cye H. Waldman Copyright 2017 Introduction Many spirals are based on the simple circle, although modulated by a variable radius. We have generalized the concept by allowing the circle to be replaced by any closed curve that is topologically equivalent to it. In this note we focus on the superconics for the reasons that they are at once abundant, analytical, and aesthetically pleasing. We also demonstrate how it can be applied to random closed forms. The spirals of interest are of the general form . A partial list of these spirals is given in the table below: Spiral Remarks Logarithmic b = flair coefficient m = 1, Archimedes Archimedean m = 2, Fermat (generalized) m = -1, Hyperbolic m = -2, Lituus Parabolic Cochleoid Poinsot Genesis of the superspiral (1) The idea began when someone on line was seeking to create a 3D spiral with a racetrack planiform. Our first thought was that the circle readily transforms to an ellipse, for example Not quite a racetrack, but on the right track. The rest cascades in a hurry, as This is subject to the provisions that the random form is closed and has no crossing lines. This also brought to mind Euler’s famous derivation, connecting the five most famous symbols in mathematics. 1 Superconics + Spirals 17 July 2017 In the present paper we’re concerned primarily with the superconics because the mapping is well known and analytic. More information on superconics can be found in Waldman (2016) and submitted for publication by Waldman, Chyau, & Gray (2017). Thus, we take where is a parametric variable (not to be confused with the polar or tangential angles).

Such structures have only short-range order and are isotropic, making colors invariant with viewing angle under natural lighting conditions. Our recent simulation suggests that colloidal particles with independently controlled diameter and scattering cross section can realize the structural colors with angular independence. In this presentation, we are exploiting depletion-induced assembly of colloidal particles to create isotropic structures in a milimeter-scale droplet. As a model colloidal particle, we have designed and synthesized core-shell particles with a large, low refractive index shell and a small, high refractive index core. The remarkable feature of these particles is that the total cross section for the entire core-shell particle is nearly the same as that of the core particle alone. By varying the characteristic length scales of the sub-units of such ‘photonic’ droplet we aim to tune wavelength selectivity and enhance color contrast and viewing angle. 8:12AM A51.00002 Curvature-Induced Capillary Interaction between Spherical Particles at a Liquid Interface1 , NESRIN SENBIL, CHUAN ZENG, BENNY DAVIDOVITCH, ANTHONY D.

  • Chapter 15 Measuring an Angle
    Chapter 15 Measuring an Angle So far, the equations we have studied have an algebraic Cosmo S character, involving the variables x and y, arithmetic op- motors around erations and maybe extraction of roots. Restricting our Q the attention to such equations would limit our ability to de- circle R scribe certain natural phenomena. An important example P 20 feet involves understanding motion around a circle, and it can be motivated by analyzing a very simple scenario: Cosmo the dog, tied by a 20 foot long tether to a post, begins Figure 15.1: Cosmo the dog walking around a circle. A number of very natural ques- walking a circular path. tions arise: Natural Questions 15.0.1. How can we measure the angles ∠SPR, ∠QPR, and ∠QPS? How can we measure the arc lengths arc(RS), arc(SQ) and arc(RQ)? How can we measure the rate Cosmo is moving around the circle? If we know how to measure angles, can we compute the coordinates of R, S, and Q? Turning this around, if we know how to compute the coordinates of R, S, and Q, can we then measure the angles ∠SPR, ∠QPR, and ∠QPS ? Finally, how can we specify the direction Cosmo is traveling? We will answer all of these questions and see how the theory which evolves can be applied to a variety of problems. The definition and basic properties of the circular functions will emerge as a central theme in this Chapter. The full problem-solving power of these functions will become apparent in our discussion of sinusoidal functions in Chapter 19.

  • Dynamics of Self-Organized and Self-Assembled Structures
    This page intentionally left blank DYNAMICS OF SELF-ORGANIZED AND SELF-ASSEMBLED STRUCTURES Physical and biological systems driven out of equilibrium may spontaneously evolve to form spatial structures. In some systems molecular constituents may self-assemble to produce complex ordered structures. This book describes how such pattern formation processes occur and how they can be modeled. Experimental observations are used to introduce the diverse systems and phenom- ena leading to pattern formation. The physical origins of various spatial structures are discussed, and models for their formation are constructed. In contrast to many treatments, pattern-forming processes in nonequilibrium systems are treated in a coherent fashion. The book shows how near-equilibrium and far-from-equilibrium modeling concepts are often combined to describe physical systems. This interdisciplinary book can form the basis of graduate courses in pattern forma- tion and self-assembly. It is a useful reference for graduate students and researchers in a number of disciplines, including condensed matter science, nonequilibrium sta- tistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, chemical biophysics, materials science, and engineering.
