中文版:柱壳法在线计算器
原理:绕轴旋转时,在 x 处取宽 dx、高 f(x) 的竖直窄条,它扫出一层半径 x、周长 2πx、高 f(x) 的薄筒壳,体积元 dV = 2πx·f(x)·dx,总体积 V = ∫2πx·f(x)dx。与圆盘法相比,柱壳法不需要把 x 解成 y 的函数——「有反函数用盘、没有用壳」。三个预设覆盖典型场景:抛物线 y = x² 绕 y 轴得「碗」,半圆盘绕直径轴得球(此时壳沿轴向堆积,高度变量 y 从 0 到 r),偏轴圆盘绕过圆心的轴得环面——与帕普斯定理的 2π²Rr² 严格一致。
步骤:选预设、填参数、点积分,对照数值结果与闭式。
示例:抛物线预设 V = 1.570796326795(= π/2);半圆盘 r = 1 得球 V = 4.188790209349(= 4π/3);环面 R = 3、r = 1 得 V = 59.217626483971(= 2π²Rr²)。
注意事项:环面预设要求 R > r(轴不得穿过生成圆盘);半圆盘预设的壳积分对 √ 型被积函数在端点导数奇异,数值采用 2000 段复合高斯(误差 < 1e-6),闭式才是精确值;绕 y 轴时壳半径 x 必须非负,若区间跨负数需先按上下支处理。
