Circle involutes

I am trying to build circle Involvents.

I built five involutes, and the sixth, the seventh, etc. there is not enough time and power of the computer - see attachment Prime 6.

I will be very grateful if you can give me a way to make my work.

Hi Valery,

 

how about:

It shouldn't be too hard to construct the next set from the previous. I see factorials in the coefficients to the various sine and cosine terms.

Here's the plot:

Note that the task gets much more complicated if you try to do this on an ellipse (e.g. leave y(t) as is, and change x(t) to 2*cos(t))...

 

Success!

Thanks, Luc!

It is Mathcad 11 with old good Maple symbolocal engine!?

We must use the simplify operator in Prime 6.

Can you have more than seven involutes? Слабо?

With very interesting fractal!

Certainly.

This is the set of equations:

You may speed up calculations significantly if you use bold and simple numeric approximations for derivatives and integrals - working on vectors of points, not equations. Of course at the cost of accuracy (especially with higher "order" evolvents).

Here is a first try with a numerical approach working on vectors. Its not really satisfying with other base curves, but works OK for curves like ellipses (unless the "order" gets too high). Here is the first dozen from the ellipse suggested by Luc:

Here's the construction of the first two:

Fine, Werner! Solution without atimation is not solution!

And what about a square not a cyrcle or an ellipes?

It appears you try to divide by zero, so that is going to take a little while to solve.  Attached is probably no help for what you're trying to do (which I'm not sure of), but it's a little tool I've used for gear teeth.

is it possible to creat someone so: involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute - involute-evolute...
