In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: , UK: ) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. * The catenary curve has a U-like shape, superficially similar in appearance to a parabolic arch, but it is not a parabola. * The curve appears in the design of certain types of arches and as a cross section of the catenoidthe shape assumed by a soap film bounded by two parallel circular rings. * The catenary is also called the alysoid, chainette, or, particularly in the materials sciences, funicular.Mathematically, the catenary curve is the graph of the hyperbolic cosine function. The surface of revolution of the catenary curve, the catenoid, is a minimal surface, specifically a minimal surface of revolution. The mathematical properties of the catenary curve were first studied by Robert Hooke in the 1670s, and its equation was derived by Leibniz, Huygens and Johann Bernoulli in 1691. * Catenaries and related curves are used in ar |
