I have to find the curvature of $r=2 cdot e^3 phi$



$dfracleft[1+left(dfracd yd xright)^2right]^frac 3 2dfracd^2 yd x^2$



$x=rcdot cos(phi)=2 cdot e^3 phicdot cos(phi)$



$y=rcdot sin(phi)=2 cdot e^3 phicdot sin(phi)$



$dfracd xd phi=-2 e^3 phicdot (sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi))$



$dfracd yd phi=2 e^3 phicdot (3 sin(phi) + cos(phi))$



$dfracd yd x=dfrac2 e^3 phicdot (3 sin(phi) + cos(phi))-2 e^3 phicdot (sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi))
=dfrac-3 sin(phi) - cos(phi)sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi)$



$dfracd^2 yd phi^2=4 e^3 phicdot (4 sin(phi) + 3 cos(phi))$



$dfracd^2 yd ^2 x=dfracdfrac2 e^3 phicdot (4 sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi))50dfrac2 e^3 phicdot (sin(phi) + 3 cos(phi))10=dfrac4 sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi)5cdot (sin(phi) + 3 cos(phi))$



now using the radius of curvature formula i find an incredibly complex formula:



$rho=dfracleft[1+left(dfracd yd xright)^2right]^frac 3 2dfracd^2 yd x^2=dfracleft[1+left(dfrac3 sin(phi) - cos(phi)sin(phi) + 3 cos(phi)right)^2right]^frac 3 2dfrac4 sin(phi) - 3 cos(phi)5cdot (sin(phi) + 3 cos(phi))$



I can't find a way to write this in a more human way.

  • Anyway there's a mistake you've done $fracdcosphidphi$ =-$ sinphi$ whereas you've written it as + $sinphi$ and same sign problem with $dsinphi/dphi$

  • You can simplify your expression by taking things to the common fraction and cancelling the denominators and more. Additionally, you lost the exponential parts somehow, when you calculated the last expression. For better way, look at the answers about the polar coordinate calculation.

It is easier to use the formula for curvature in terms of the function $r(theta)$:




If a curve is defined in polar coordinates as $r(theta)$, then its curvature is
$$
kappa(theta)
= frac(r^2 + r'^2)^3/2
$$
where here the prime refers to the differentiation with respect to $theta$.




The result is $e^-3theta/(2sqrt10)$.

The curve $gamma$ in question is a logarithmic spiral. From the selfsimilarity properties of these spirals it immediately follows that $rho(phi)=c r(phi)$ for some constant $c$. The following (human) computations will confirm this fact.



I shall use the parametric representation
$$gamma:quadphimapstobf z(phi):=2e^3phi(cosphi,sinphi) .$$One computes
$$eqalignbf z'(phi)&=2e^3phi(-sinphi+3cosphi, cosphi+3sinphi)cr &=2sqrt10e^3phibigl(cos(phi+alpha),sin(phi+alpha)bigr) ,cr$$
whereby $alpha:=arctan1over3$. It follows that the arc length $phimapsto s(phi)$ along $gamma$ satisfies
$$s'(phi)=bigl|bf z'(phi)bigr|=2sqrt10e^3phi ,$$ whereas the forward tangent direction is given by
$$theta(phi)=argbigl(bf z'(phi)bigr)=phi+alpha .$$
Now the curvature $kappa$ is the turning speed of the tangent with respect to arc length, hence
$$kappa(phi)=dthetaover ds=theta'(phi)over s'(phi)=1over2sqrt10e^-3phi ,$$
so that we finally obtain
$$rho(phi)=1overkappa(phi)=2sqrt10e^3phi .$$

    The curve $gamma$ in question is a logarithmic spiral. From the selfsimilarity properties of these spirals it immediately follows that $rho(phi)=c r(phi)$ for some constant $c$. The following (human) computations will confirm this fact.



    I shall use the parametric representation
    $$gamma:quadphimapstobf z(phi):=2e^3phi(cosphi,sinphi) .$$One computes
    $$eqalignbf z'(phi)&=2e^3phi(-sinphi+3cosphi, cosphi+3sinphi)cr &=2sqrt10e^3phibigl(cos(phi+alpha),sin(phi+alpha)bigr) ,cr$$
    whereby $alpha:=arctan1over3$. It follows that the arc length $phimapsto s(phi)$ along $gamma$ satisfies
    $$s'(phi)=bigl|bf z'(phi)bigr|=2sqrt10e^3phi ,$$ whereas the forward tangent direction is given by
    $$theta(phi)=argbigl(bf z'(phi)bigr)=phi+alpha .$$
    Now the curvature $kappa$ is the turning speed of the tangent with respect to arc length, hence
    $$kappa(phi)=dthetaover ds=theta'(phi)over s'(phi)=1over2sqrt10e^-3phi ,$$
    so that we finally obtain
    $$rho(phi)=1overkappa(phi)=2sqrt10e^3phi .$$

        I shall use the parametric representation
        $$gamma:quadphimapstobf z(phi):=2e^3phi(cosphi,sinphi) .$$One computes
        $$eqalignbf z'(phi)&=2e^3phi(-sinphi+3cosphi, cosphi+3sinphi)cr &=2sqrt10e^3phibigl(cos(phi+alpha),sin(phi+alpha)bigr) ,cr$$
        whereby $alpha:=arctan1over3$. It follows that the arc length $phimapsto s(phi)$ along $gamma$ satisfies
        $$s'(phi)=bigl|bf z'(phi)bigr|=2sqrt10e^3phi ,$$ whereas the forward tangent direction is given by
        $$theta(phi)=argbigl(bf z'(phi)bigr)=phi+alpha .$$
        Now the curvature $kappa$ is the turning speed of the tangent with respect to arc length, hence
        $$kappa(phi)=dthetaover ds=theta'(phi)over s'(phi)=1over2sqrt10e^-3phi ,$$
        so that we finally obtain
        $$rho(phi)=1overkappa(phi)=2sqrt10e^3phi .$$

        The curve $gamma$ in question is a logarithmic spiral. From the selfsimilarity properties of these spirals it immediately follows that $rho(phi)=c r(phi)$ for some constant $c$. The following (human) computations will confirm this fact.
