Calculation of the Surface Area of An Egg Based on the Explicit Troscianko Equation

Description

SurfaceAreaETE is used to calculate the surface area of an egg that follows the explicit Troscianko equation.

Usage

SurfaceAreaETE(P, subdivisions = 100L,
          rel.tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25, abs.tol = rel.tol,
          stop.on.error = TRUE, keep.xy = FALSE, aux = NULL)

Arguments

P	the parameters of the explicit Troscianko equation.
subdivisions	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
rel.tol	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
abs.tol	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
stop.on.error	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
keep.xy	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
aux	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.

Details

The formula of the surface area (S) of an egg based on the explicit Troscianko equation is:

S(x)=2\,\pi\int_{-a}^{a}y\,\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}\,dx,

where y denotes the explicit Troscianko equation (i.e., ETE), and a denotes half the egg's length.

Note

The argument P in the SurfaceAreaETE function has the same parameters, as those in the ETE function.
