Compute the Curvature of Curves in Any Dimensions
ArcCurvature and FrenetSerretSystem compute curvatures for curves in any dimension.
ArcCurvature gives the single unsigned curvature.
Out[1]= | |
Curvature for a curve expressed in polar coordinates.
Out[2]= | |
Curves in three and four dimensions.
Out[3]= | |
Out[4]= | |
FrenetSerretSystem gives the generalized curvatures, which may be signed, and the associated basis.
Out[5]= | |
In three dimensions, the generalized curvatures are usually called curvature and torsion, and the associated Tangent/Normal/Binormal or TNB basis.
Out[6]= | |
Visualize the four curves. The fourth dimension is represented by color.
