A hypocycloid is a type of curve generated by a point on the circumference of a circle (called the generating or rolling circle) as it rolls without slipping inside the circumference of a larger, fixed circle.Â
A hypocycloid is a type of curve generated by a point on the circumference of a circle (called the generating or rolling circle) as it rolls without slipping inside the circumference of a larger, fixed circle.Â
Applications:
Gear Mechanisms: Hypocycloids are used in the design of certain gear systems, such as the internal gears in epicyclic or planetary gear trains.
Piston Motion: They are also relevant in the analysis of piston motion in some types of rotary engines.
Mechanical Linkages: Hypocycloid curves are employed in mechanical linkages to achieve specific motion paths in machinery.
