Cycloidal arches at the Kimbell Art Museum The cycloidal arch was used by architect Louis Kahn in his design for the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. It was also used in the design of the Hopkins Center in Hanover, New Hampshire. Early research indicated that some transverse arching curves of the plates of golden age violins are closely modeled by curtate cycloid curves. Later work indicates that curtate cycloids do not serve as general models for these curves, which vary considerably.

A prolate trochoid with A curtate trochoid with As a circle of radius a rolls without slipping along a line L, the center C moves parallel to L, and every other point P in the rotating plane rigidly attached to the circle traces the curve called the trochoid. Let CP = b. Parametric equations of the trochoid for which L is the x-axis are :x = a\theta - b \sin(\theta) \, :y = a - b \cos(\theta) \, where θ is the variable angle through which the circle rolls.

A cycloid (a common trochoid) generated by a rolling circle In geometry, a trochoid (from the Greek word for wheel, "trochos") is a roulette formed by a circle rolling along a line. In other words, it is the curve traced out by a point fixed to a circle (where the point may be on, inside, or outside the circle) as it rolls along a straight line. If the point is on the circle, the trochoid is called common (also known as a cycloid); if the point is inside the circle, the trochoid is curtate; and if the point is outside the circle, the trochoid is prolate. The word "trochoid" was coined by Gilles de Roberval.
