Usage: mathematics; technical
2. resembling or moving in a cycloid pattern; characterized by a rolling or wave-like motion
Usage: technical

Examples

• The cycloidal curve is commonly used in engineering and physics applications.
• The gear teeth were designed with a cycloidal profile for smoother operation.
• A cycloidal motion can be observed in the path of a point on a rolling wheel.
• The mathematician studied the properties of cycloidal arcs in her research.
• Cycloidal gears are preferred in certain mechanical systems for their efficiency.
