Conic Sections
• Sections of a right circular cone obtained by
cutting the cone in different ways
• Depending on the position of the cutting plane
relative to the axis of cone, three conic sections
can be obtained
– ellipse,
– parabola and
– hyperbola
CONIC SECTIONS
ELLIPSE, PARABOLA AND HYPERBOLA ARE CALLED CONIC SECTIONS
BECAUSE
THESE CURVES APPEAR ON THE SURFACE OF A CONE
WHEN IT IS CUT BY SOME TYPICAL CUTTING PLANES.

FRENCH CURVES
Conic is defined as the locus of a point moving in a plane such that the ratio of its
distance from a fixed point (F) to the fixed straight line is always a constant.
The ratio is called eccentricity (e).

• Moving point P
• Fixed point is called the Focus (F)
• Fixed line is called the Directrix (DD)
• Axis (CA) is the line passing though F and perpendicular to DD
• Vertex (V) is a point where the conic cuts the axis

Ellipse
A curved line forming a closed loop, where the sum of the distances from two
points (foci) to every point on the line is constant = Length of its major axis
Relationship between Major axis, Minor axis and Foci
The sum of the distances of a point on the ellipse from the two foci is equal to the
major axis
The distance of any end of the minor axis from any focus is equal to the half of the major
axis

How to find Foci?


If minor axis (CD) is given instead of the distance between the foci, then the foci F and F ’
can be located by cutting the arcs on major axis with C as a center and radius= ½ major
axis= OA
Methods for Generating Ellipse
1. Focus-Directrix Or Eccentricity Method
– General method of constructing any conic when the
distance of the focus from the directrix and its
eccentricity is given.
2. Concentric Method
– This method is applicable when the major axis and
minor axis of an ellipse are given
3. Oblong Method
– This method is applicable when the major axis and
minor axis or the conjugate axes with the angle
between them is given.
Types of Problems
• Focus-Directrix Or Eccentricity Method
– Draw an ellipse if the distance of the focus from the directrix is 70
mm and the eccentricity is 3/4
– Draw a parabola if the distance of the focus from the directrix is 55
mm
– Draw a hyperbola of e = 4/3 and the distance of the focus from
the directrix = 60 mm
• Concentric Circle Method
– Draw an ellipse having the major axis of 60 mm and the minor axis
of 40 mm
• Oblong Method
– Draw an ellipse having conjugate axes of 60 mm and 40 mm long
and inclined at 750 to each other

Parabola
• A parabola is a conic whose
eccentricity is equal to 1. It is an
open-end curve with a focus, a
directrix and an axis.
• Any chord perpendicular to the
axis is called a double ordinate.
• The double ordinate passing
through the focus represents the
latus rectum
• The double ordinate passing
through the ends of the parabola,
is called the base.
• The shortest distance of the vertex
from any ordinate, is known as the
abscissa.
Methods for Generating Parabola
1. Focus-Directrix Or Eccentricity Method
– General method of constructing any conics when the distance of the
focus from the directrix is known and e=1.
– For example, draw a parabola if the distance of the focus from the
directrix is 55 mm.
2. Rectangle Method and Parallelogram Method
– This method is applicable when the axis (or abscissa) and the base
( or double ordinate) of a parabola are given or the conjugte axes
with the angle between them is given
– For example, draw a parabola having an abscissa of 30 mm and the
double ordinate are 70 mm, or
– Draw an parabola having conjugate axes of 60 mm and 40 mm long
and inclined at 750 to each other.
3. Tangent Method
– This method is applicable when the base and the inclination of
tangents at open ends of the parabola with the base are given
– For example, draw a parabola if the base is 70 mm and the tangents
at the base ends make 60° to the base.
Steps for Focus-Directrix or Eccentricity Method
Draw a parabola if the distance of the focus from the directrix is 60 mm.

5. Mark a few points, say, 1, 2, 3, … on VC’ and
erect perpendiculars through them meeting CB
produced at 1’, 2’, 3’, …

on the perpendicular through 1 to locate P1 and
P1’. Similarly, with F as a centre and radii = 2–2’,
3–3’, etc., cut arcs on the corresponding
perpendiculars to locate P2 and P2’, P3 and P3’,

• Roulettes are curves generated by the rolling contact of one curve
or line on another curve or line
• There are various types of roulettes
• The most common types of roulettes used in engineering practice
are:
Involutes and Cycloids
Involutes

CYCLOID

A Cycloid is generated by a point on the


circumference of a circle rolling along a straight
line, without being slipped
• The rolling circle is called a generating circle and the
straight line is called a directing line or base line.
• The point on the generating circle which traces the
curve is called the generating point.
CYCLOID

The cycloid is called an epicycloid when the generating circle rolls


along another circle outside it.

Hypocycloid, opposite to the epicycloid, is obtained when the generating


circle rolls along another circle inside it.

The other circle along which the generating circle rolls is called the
directing circle or the base circle.
Cycloid
A wheel of diameter 60 cm rolls on a straight horizontal road. Draw the
locus of a point P on the periphery of the wheel, for one revolution of the
wheel, if P is initially on the road.
Steps:
• Draw the base line P’–P” equal to the circumference of generating circle, i.e., x 60
cm = 188 cm.
• Draw the generating circle with C as centre and radius = 30 cm, tangent to P’ –P” at
P’. Point P is initially at P’.
• Draw C–C” parallel and equal to P’ –P” to represent the locus of the centre of the
generating circle.
• Obtain 12 equal divisions on the circle. Number the divisions as 1, 2, 3, etc., starting
from P’ as shown. Through 1, 2, 3, etc., draw lines parallel to P’ –P”.
• Obtain 12 equal divisions on C–C” and name them as C1, C2, C3, etc.

lines through 1, 2, 3, etc., to locate respectively P1, P2, P3, etc.
