    Epicycloids: What Is Epicycloid?

    Uploaded by

    TajiriMollel
    An epicycloid is a curve traced by a point on a circle rolling around the outside of another fixed circle, without slipping. The document describes how to construct an epicycloid by marking 12 equal divisions on a generating circle and base surface, then rolling the generating circle and marking the circle centers and point positions at each interval to connect the arcs and form the epicycloid curve.

    EPICYCLOIDS

    What is Epicycloid?
    The cycloid is called the epicycloid when
    the generating circle rolls along another
    circle outside(directing circle)

    The curve traced by a point on a circle


    which rolls on the out side of a circular base
    surface

    CONSTRUCTION OF EPICYCLOID
    Step1: Draw and divide the circle in to 12
    equal divisions.
    Step 2: Transfer the 12 divisions on to the
    base surface.
    step3: Mark the 12 positions of the circle-
    centers (C1,C2,C3,C4..) as the circle rolls on
    the base surface.
    Step 4: Project the positions of the point
    from the circle.
    Step 5: Using the radius of the circle and
    from the marked centers C1,C2,C3,C4.. etc
    cut off the arcs through 1,2,3.. etc
    Step 6: Darken the curve
