Geometric Aesthetic Locus Generated by a Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

It starts from an issue of locus that generates Rhodonea curves . It is found the equivalent mechanism, having two driving links and one dyad, RRT type, that generates series of curves with special aesthetic shapes. The process is useful in mechanical toys, at commercials where curves are generated successively on a screen, and in kinetic art. Numerous examples of curves are given.
