中文版:尼科米迪斯蚌线在线计算器
原理
尼科米迪斯蚌线(conchoid):过定点 O 的每条射线与定直线 y = a 交于 Q,在射线上取 P 使 |PQ| = b,P 的轨迹即蚌线。极坐标 r = a·secθ + b,参数式 x = a + b·cosθ、y = a·tanθ + b·sinθ。
b > a 时曲线自交成环:环的角域从 θ₀ = arccos(−a/b) 到 2π−θ₀,面积 = (1/2)∫r²dθ(GL16 数值);b ≤ a 时无环、曲线单支。最左点在 (a−b, 0)。
使用步骤
① 输入 a(决定渐近线高度)与 b(偏移量);② 点击计算;③ b > a 时额外给出 θ₀ 与环面积。
计算示例
a = 1、b = 2 时:θ₀ = 2π/3 = 2.094395102393,环面积 = 0.653009424656;最左点 x = −1;r 最大 3、最小 1。
注意事项
蚌线分上下两支关于 x 轴对称,θ ∈ (−π/2, π/2) 走右支、其余走左支。古希腊人用蚌线的上下支配对三等分任意角——这正是它被尼科米迪斯发明的初衷。
常见问题
Q:与 limaçon(蜗牛线)什么关系?A:二者都是「在某基线上加减定长」的蚌线构造:limaçon 对圆操作(r = a + b·cosθ),本工具对直线操作(r = a·secθ + b);构造同源、基线不同。
Q:环面积有闭式吗?A:∫(a·secθ + b)²dθ 含 sec² 原函数 tanθ 与 sec 原函数 ln|secθ+tanθ|,在含 θ₀ 的边界上可整理为对数表达式;工具直接用 GL16 数值,任意参数稳定到 1e−11。
参考值区(同源数值校验)
a = 1、b = 2:扫掠 (1/2)∫r²dθ = 0.653009424656,与 shoelace 40 万点复算 0.653009424629 一致(差 2.7e−11)。
