Definition of "curvature" |
The rotation per unit length of a member due to bending forces. / a geometric property that describes the degree that a surface or a curve is bent. The curvature of a curve is the magnitude of the rate of change of the unit tangent vector with respect to arc length. The curvature of a surface is given in terms of a metric tensor which embodies two principal (planar) curvatures, κ1 and κ2. The curvature of a surface is sometimes characterized by the so-called Gaussian curvature κ = κ1.κ2. |
