Epicycloids & Epitrochoids
Quando eu dou de comer aos pobres
Me chamam de santo
Quando eu pergunto por que eles são pobres
Me chamam de comunista

  • Rolling a Circle, r>0, inside a fixed Circle, R>0
  • [; \omega=\frac{R+r}{r} ;]
  • Epicycloids:
    [; \underline{r}(t)= (R+r) \left( \begin{array}{c} \cos{t}\\\sin{t} \end{array} \right) -r\left( \begin{array}{c} \cos{ \omega t}\\\sin{ \omega t} \end{array} \right) = (R+r) \underline{e}(t)- r\underline{e}( \omega t) ;]
  • Canonical Epicycloids:
    [; \underline{r}(t)= \omega \underline{e}(t)- \underline{e}( \omega t) ;]
  • Hypothesis:

    The Evolute of an Epicycloid is an Epicycloid
