中文版:外旋轮线在线计算器
原理:半径 r 的圆沿半径 R 的固定圆外侧无滑动滚动,圆内距圆心 d 的描点轨迹为长短幅圆外旋轮线:x = (R+r)cos t − d·cos((R+r)t/r),y = (R+r)sin t − d·sin((R+r)t/r)。闭合周期为 t ∈ [0, 2πr/gcd(R,r)],滚动圆共绕固定圆 r/gcd(R,r) 圈。面积由格林公式 A = (1/2)∮(x dy − y dx) 数值积分。d = r 时退化为外摆线(尖点曲线);d > r 时出现自交环圈——火星视逆行的托勒密本轮正是一条 d 较大的外旋轮线。
步骤:输入 R、r、d 与参数 t,得到该时刻点坐标、曲线闭合周期、滚动圈数与包围面积。
示例:R = 1、r = 1、d = 1 为心形线,t = π 时坐标 = (-3.000000000000, 4.898587e-16),面积 = 18.849555921539(理论 6π ≈ 18.849555921539);R = 2、r = 1、d = 1 为肾脏线(nephroid),面积 = 37.699111843078;R = 5、r = 3 时闭合周期 = 18.849555921539 弧度,滚动圆绕 3 圈。
注意事项:R 与 r 需为正数(建议整数以获得精确闭合周期);d = 0 轨迹为圆;t 以弧度输入。面积对 d 灵敏——d 每增大 1,心形线族面积线性增长。
