- Title
AESTHETIC EFFECTS OF HYPOCYCLOIDS GENERATOR MECHANISMS.
- Authors
POPESCU, Iulian; LUCA, Liliana
- Abstract
They are studied the hypocycloids which are generated by a planetary mechanism, aiming those hypocycloids that have pleasing aesthetical aspect. Afterwards, the obtained curves are rotated about the axes x and y, resulting aesthetic surfaces, which are viewed in the XY plane. In reality, the observer beholds the generation of some aesthetic surfaces. They are given numerous examples. These curved and aesthetic surfaces may be used in kinetic art, kinetic fountains, toys, etc.
