WHAT DOES SINUOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sinuosity

Sinuosity or sinuosity index or sinuosity coefficient of a continuously derivable curve having at least one inflection point, is the ratio of the curvilinear length and the distance between the end points of the curve. This dimensionless quantity is obtained by the following report: The value ranges from 1 to infinity or for an infinitely-long actual path. The sinuosity S of: ▪ 2 inverted continuous semicircles located in the same plane is. It is independent of the circle radius; ▪ a sine function, which can be calculated by computing the sine curve's arclength on those periods, is The curve must be continuous between the two ends. The sinuosity value is really significant when the line is continuously differentiable. The distance between both ends can also be evaluated by a plurality of segments according to a broken line passing through the successive inflection points. The calculation of the sinuosity is valid in a 3-dimensional space, although it is often performed in a plane.
