The evolute of a hyperbola with parametric equations x = acosht (1) y = bsinht (2) is x_e = ((a^2+b^2))/acosh^3t (3) y_e = -((a^2+b^2))/bsinh^3t, (4) which is similar to a ...

Given a parabola with parametric equations x = at^2 (1) y = at, (2) the evolute is given by x_e = 1/2a(1+6t^2) (3) y_e = -4at^3. (4) Eliminating x and y gives the implicit ...

An evolute is the locus of centers of curvature (the envelope) of a plane curve's normals. The original curve is then said to be the involute of its evolute. Given a plane ...

The evolute of a circle is a degenerate point at the origin.

The goat problem (or bull-tethering problem) considers a fenced circular field of radius a with a goat (or bull, or other animal) tied to a point on the interior or exterior ...

The evolute of the astroid is a hypocycloid evolute for n=4. Surprisingly, it is another astroid scaled by a factor n/(n-2)=4/2=2 and rotated 1/(2·4)=1/8 of a turn. For an ...

The evolute of the cardioid x = cost(1+cost) (1) y = sint(1+cost) (2) is the curve x_e = 2/3a+1/3acostheta(1-costheta) (3) y_e = 1/3asintheta(1-costheta), (4) which is a ...

The parametric equations for a catenary are x = t (1) y = acosh(t/a), (2) giving the evolute as x = t-a/2sinh((2t)/a) (3) y = 2acosh(t/(2a)). (4) For t>0, the evolute has arc ...

The evolute of Cayley's sextic with parametrization x = 4acos^3(1/3theta)cost (1) y = 4acos^3(1/3theta)sint (2) is given by x_e = 1/4[2+3cos(2/3t)-cos(2t)] (3) y_e = ...

The evolute of the curtate cycloid x = at-bsint (1) y = a-bcost (2) (with b<a) is given by x = (a[-2bt+2atcost-2asint+bsin(2t)])/(2(acost-b)) (3) y = ...
