Compare with evolute
Example sentencesExamples
- Both the evolute and involute of a cycloid is an identical cycloid.
- Hence a curve has a unique evolute but infinitely many involutes.
- Since normals to a straight line never intersect and tangents coincide with the curve, evolutes, involutes and pedal curves are not too interesting.
- He defines evolutes and involutes of curves and, after giving some elementary properties, finds the evolutes of the cycloid and of the parabola.
- The evolute and the involute of an equiangular spiral is an identical equiangular spiral.
