Substituting this into the first equation and assuming that the family of curves has no singular points, we find the envelope: x2|x||x|+|y|+y21−|x||x|+|y|=1,⇒x2(|x|+|y|)|x|+y2(|x|+|y|)|x|+|y|−|x|=1,⇒|x|2+|x||y|+|x||y|+|y|2=1,⇒(|x|+|y|)2=1,⇒|x|+|y|=±1.
Intuitively, the curvature is the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line, or a surface deviates from being a plane. For curves, the canonical example is that of a circle, which has a curvature equal to the reciprocal of its radius. Smaller circles bend more sharply, and hence have higher curvature.
Envelope, in mathematics, a curve that is tangential to each one of a family of curves in a plane or, in three dimensions, a surface that is tangent to each one of a family of surfaces. For example, two parallel lines are the envelope of the family of circles of the same radius having centres on a straight line.
In mathematics, an involute (also known as an evolvent) is a particular type of curve that is dependent on another shape or curve. An involute of a curve is the locus of a point on a piece of taut string as the string is either unwrapped from or wrapped around the curve.
In the differential geometry of curves, the evolute of a curve is the locus of all its centers of curvature. That is to say that when the center of curvature of each point on a curve is drawn, the resultant shape will be the evolute of that curve. The evolute of a circle is therefore a single point at its center.

For example, two parallel lines are the envelope of the family of circles of the same radius having centres on a straight line.
The evolute of an involute is the original curve. The notions of the involute and evolute of a curve were introduced by Christiaan Huygens in his work titled Horologium oscillatorium sive de motu pendulorum ad horologia aptato demonstrationes geometricae (1673).
The diametral pitch of a gear is the number of teeth per inch of pitch diameter. Pitch diameter is the pitch circle below. It specifies the tooth spacing along the pitch circle of each gear, which must be the same for the gears to work together. It's used to know that two gears will mesh.
Involute: 1. Literally, to turn inward or roll inward. 2. To decrease in size after an enlargement. The uterus involutes after pregnancy.
Involute Gear Profile. For power transmission gears, the tooth form most commonly used today is the involute profile. Involute gears can be manufactured easily, and the gearing has a feature that enables smooth meshing despite the misalignment of center distance to some degree.
Locate the Tooth Form Circle by drawing circle (A) whose radius is 1/8 of the Pitch Diameter and whose center is at the Pitch Point. 11. Erase Circle A and trim away all of circle B, except the tooth form which is arc PT beginning at the pitch point and intersecting the outside circle. Erase the Base circle.
Spur gears can be used to increase or decrease the torque, or power, of a given object. Spur gears are used to this effect in washing machines, blenders, clothes dryers, construction equipment, fuel pumps and mills.
Involute spline. where the sides of the equally spaced grooves are involute, as with an involute gear, but not as tall. The curves increase strength by decreasing stress concentrations.
Explanation: Involute gears are used for general purpose in precision engineering. The cycloidal gears are not used in modern engineering generally, but can be used for some crude purposes where impact and heavy loads come on the machine.
Draw a vertical line through the centre of the circle. Draw a line from the top of the circle to the point and you will have the Tangent. Draw a line from the bottom of the circle to the point and you will have the Normal. You can find the Centre of Curvature to any point on the Cycloid by using this method.
Involute construction
- As above, draw the given base circle, divide into, say, 12 equal divisions, and draw the tangents from points 1 to 6.
- From point 1 and with radius equal to the chordal length from point 1 to point A, draw an arc.
- Repeat the above procedure from point 2 with radius 2B terminating at point C.
A Cycloid is the path or Locus followed by a point on a circle when it moves a long a straight line without slipping.
In an involute gear, the profiles of the teeth are involutes of a circle. (The involute of a circle is the spiraling curve traced by the end of an imaginary taut string unwinding itself from that stationary circle called the base circle.) That is, a gear's profile does not depend on the gear it mates with.
