    An epicycloid is a plane curve produced by tracing the path of a chosen point of a circle -- called an epicycle -- which rolls without slipping around a fixed circle. If k is an integer, then the curve is closed, and has k cusps (i.e., sharp corners, where the curve is not differentiable) If p is an irrational number, then the curvature never closes, and forms a dense subset

    Epicycloid
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    In geometry, an epicycloid is a plane curve produced by tracing the path of a chosen point of a circle called an epicycle which rolls without slipping around a fixed circle. It is a particular kind of roulette. If the smaller circle has radius r, and the larger circle has radius R = kr, then the parametric equations for the curve can be given by either:

    The red curve is an epicycloid traced as the small circle (radius r = 1) rolls around the outside of the large circle (radius R = 3).

    or:

    If k is an integer, then the curve is closed, and has k cusps (i.e., sharp corners, where the curve is not differentiable). If k is a rational number, say k=p/q expressed in simplest terms, then the curve has p cusps. If k is an irrational number, then the curve never closes, and forms a dense subset of the space between the larger circle and a circle of radius R + 2r. There are different types of epicycloids, like the epicycloid of cremona. Epicycloid Examples

    k=1

    k=2

    k=3

    k=4

    k = 2.1 = 21/10

    k = 3.8 = 19/5

    k = 5.5 = 11/2

    k = 7.2 = 36/5

    The epicycloid is a special kind of epitrochoid. An epicycle with one cusp is a cardioid. An epicycloid and its evolute are similar.[1]

    assume that the position of is what we want to solve, is the radian from the tangential point to the moving point , and is the radian from the starting point to the tangential point. Since there is no sliding between the two cycles, then we have that

    By the definition of radian (which is the rate arc over radius), then we have that

    From these two conditions, we get the identity

    By calculating, we get the relation between

    and , which is

    From the figure, we see the position of the point

    clearly.
