Engineering Curves
Application of Curves

Curves are very useful in engineering in deciding the path of a moving point, in
manufacturing of various objects, in designing the mechanism etc.
Some of the important engineering curves that are commonly used in practice are ellipse,
parabola, hyperbola, involutes, cycloids, helix etc.
These curves are obtained by tracing the locus of a point moving according to the
mathematical relationship applicable to that particular curve.

Definitions
Ellipse: It is the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that the ratio of its
distance from a fixed point to a fixed straight line is always a constant and is less
than 1.
Parabola: It is the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that the ratio of its
distance from a fixed point to the straight line is a constant and is always equal to 1.
Hyperbola: It is the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that the ratio of
its distance from a fixed point to the fixed length is a constant and is greater than 1.
Ellipse
Arches of bridges: The arches of bridges are constructed with curves parallel to
ellipse.
Pipes: The ends of hollow pipes are connected by elliptical curves.
Elliptical gears: For obtaining variable speed, some equipment are required to have
elliptical gears.
Cylindrical tanks: The ends of cylindrical tanks are elliptical in shape.
Path of earth: Elliptical path is followed by path around the sun etc
Parabola
Arches of bridges: The arches of bridges are constructed with parabolic curves.
Light reflectors: Reflectors for the parallel beams used in the head lamp of a vehicle
are parabolic in shape.
Sound reflectors & detectors: Sound reflectors are parabolic in shape.
Different Paths: The projected missiles follow the parabolic path. Any object thrown
up at any angle from earth follows the parabolic path.
Hyperbola
Nature of graph of Boyles law: Graph of Boyles law of gas; V= volume of the gas;
C=constant.
Water tanks: Shape of overhead water tanks is hyperbolic.
Cooling towers: Shape of cooling tower is hyperbolic.
Involute
Gears profile is having involute shape

 Spiral
Clamping devices of jigs and fixtures
Shape of springs of watch mechanism
Profile of cams for automation.
Scroll plate of lathe chuck.
