Three dimensional analytical determination of the track parameters

An analytical three dimensional method was applied in determination of the track parameters. The general three dimensional equation of the track wall was derived. This equation was used for the determination of the track para meters for constant and variable V-t. The formulas for constant V-t are equ al to the previously given expressions obtained in another independent mann er. The general equations of contour line, width and length of the track op ening (for V-t not equal constant) were derived. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
