A survey and comparison of traditional piecewise circular approximations to the ellipse
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to their simplicity and ease of handling quadrarcs have been used to provide a piecewise circular approximation to ellipses for many hundreds of years. Like biarcs there are many possible criteria for choosing joint positions between the arcs. This paper provides an algebraic formulation of 10 of these quadrarc constructions. For a range of ellipse eccentricities these quadrarcs are assessed quantitatively in terms of Euclidean distance error and tangent discontinuity. keywords: ellipse, quadrarc, circular arc,

Close interval approximation of piecewise quadratic fuzzy numbers for fuzzy fractional program
The fuzzy approach has undergone a profound structural transformation in the past few decades. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain fuzzy approach for linear and nonlinear programs. While, the findings in earlier studies have been conflicting, recent studies of competitive situations indicate that fractional programming problem has a positive impact on comparative scenario. We pro...
متن کاملComparison of Lift and Drag Forces for Some Conical Bodies in Supersonic Flow Using Perturbation Techniques
Numerical methods are not always convergent especially in higher velocities when shock waves are involved. A comparison analysis is performed to study the supersonic flow over conical bodies of three different cross sections circular, elliptic and squircle (square with rounded corners) shaped using Perturbation techniques to find flow variables analytically. In order to find lift and drag forc...
متن کاملA new algorithm for solving Van der Pol equation based on piecewise spectral Adomian decomposition method
In this article, a new method is introduced to give approximate solution to Van der Pol equation. The proposed method is based on the combination of two different methods, the spectral Adomian decomposition method (SADM) and piecewise method, called the piecewise Adomian decomposition method (PSADM). The numerical results obtained from the proposed method show that this method is an...
متن کاملAnalytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of Different Hip Implant Designs along with Femur under Static Loading Conditions
Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...
