What is the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
How do you calculate the radius of curvature for the curve?
See the following link.
What does curvature ratio mean in tubing?
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
What are governing equations of french curve shapes?
The french curve is a set of segments of Euler spirals, also known as clothoids. The curvature of a clothoid varies linearly along its length. If you start at the least curved end of one of the segments (curvature closest to zero) there will be a declining radius of curvature as you go until you reach the end of that segment. The french curve set has several segments with different rates of curvature change.
What does a Tangent look like?
Usually a straight line that touches a curve at one point. At the point of contact, the tangent is perpendicular to the radius of curvature.
