  2. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

    In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...

  3. Sagitta (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(optics)

    where R is the radius of curvature of the optical surface. The sag S ( r ) is the displacement along the optic axis of the surface from the vertex, at distance r {\displaystyle r} from the axis. A good explanation of both this approximate formula and the exact formula can be found here .

  4. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The ISO standard 31-11 recommends (ρ, φ, z), where ρ is the radial coordinate, φ the azimuth, and z the height. However, the radius is also often denoted r or s, the azimuth by θ or t, and the third coordinate by h or (if the cylindrical axis is considered horizontal) x, or any context-specific letter.

  5. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    Radius of curvature and center of curvature. In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature. For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. For surfaces, the radius of curvature is the radius of a circle that best fits a normal section or ...

    a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the semi-ellipsoid from the base cicle's center to the edge Solid paraboloid of revolution around z-axis: a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the paboloid from the base cicle's center to the edge

  7. CATIA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CATIA

    CATIA (/ k ə ˈ t iː ə /, an acronym of computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application) is a multi-platform software suite for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE), 3D modeling and product lifecycle management (PLM), developed by the French company Dassault Systèmes.

  8. Circular arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_arc

    A circular sector is shaded in green. Its curved boundary of length L is a circular arc. A circular arc is the arc of a circle between a pair of distinct points.If the two points are not directly opposite each other, one of these arcs, the minor arc, subtends an angle at the center of the circle that is less than π radians (180 degrees); and the other arc, the major arc, subtends an angle ...

  9. Radical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_axis

    The tangent lines must be equal in length for any point on the radical axis: | | = | |. If P, T 1, T 2 lie on a common tangent, then P is the midpoint of ⁠ ¯.. In Euclidean geometry, the radical axis of two non-concentric circles is the set of points whose power with respect to the circles are equal.
