The Description and chief Properties of the Cycloid, and the Application of Cycloidal Cheeks for regulating the Vibrations of Pendulums.
Semicircular and Cycloidal Times of Oscillation are to each other as 34 to 29: That in both the Length of the Strings of Pendulums are in a duplicate Proportion to their Times of Oscillation; and that the Heights of Roofs, &c.
The mode of composition of the sections on cycloidal (oscillatory) motion gives some idea of Thomson's method of working.
But this was only an example of theory pushed too far, because the friction on the cycloidal cheeks involves more error than they correct, and other disturbances of a higher degree of importance are left uncorrected.
Huygens proposed to apply his discovery to clocks, and since the evolute of a cycloid is an equal cycloid, he suggested the use of a flexible pendulum swinging between cycloidal cheeks.
The exoskeleton has the form of cycloidal or rhomboidal scales.
That is to say even a roller of the same size as the original milling cutter, will not retrace completely the cycloidal path in which the cutter travelled.
A cycloidal curve in which the rolling circle is rolled outside the fixed or base circle.
B is the base line, A the rolling wheel or generating circle, and C C the cycloidal curve traced or marked by the point D when A is rolled along B.
A cycloidal curve in which the rolling circle is rolled within the fixed or base circle.
On the wheel we roll a straight line, which gives a cycloidal curve suitable to work with the square thread.
The circle that is supposed to move in the construction of cycloidal curves.
Let T be the point of tangency; draw S U and T U, cutting the cycloidal path A R in X and Y.
These are called ruling machines, medallion rulers, cycloidal and geometric lathes.
Cycloidal ruling in its simplest form resembles a series of loops.
C C represents the cycloidalcurves and are placed with a view of correcting the inequality in the duration of the oscillations.
The cycloidal curve might have been made by a Board School child.
You will trace the cycloidal curve of the planets--can you do that?
For perfect isochronism it should be a cycloidal segment.
The isochronism of a pendulum vibrating in a cycloidal arc was first discovered by Galileo but he did not apply it to clocks.
The pendulum was first suspended by a silk cord and thus vibrated in a circular instead of cycloidal arc.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cycloidal" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
