evolute of a curve is the locus of all its centers of curvature:

X(t)=x(t)−y′(t)(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)X(t)=x(t)-\frac{y'(t)(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)}{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}


Y(t)=y(t)+x′(t)(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)Y(t)=y(t)+\frac{x'(t)(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)}{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}


x′=2at,x′′=2ax'=2at,x''=2a

y′=2a,y′′=0y'=2a,y''=0


X(t)=at2−2a(4a2t2+4a2)−4a2=3at2+2aX(t)=at^2-\frac{2a(4a^2t^2+4a^2)}{-4a^2}=3at^2+2a


Y(t)=2at+2at(4a2t2+4a2)−4a2=−2at3Y(t)=2at+\frac{2at(4a^2t^2+4a^2)}{-4a^2}=-2at^3

The envelope of the family of curves is a curve such that at each point it touches tangentially one of the curves of the family.

X(t)=x(t)−y′(t)(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)X(t)=x(t)-\frac{y'(t)(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)}{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}
