Is there a way to transform a sine curve so that the x-axis of the sine curve would become a circle, with the sine wave oscillating around the now-circular x-axis?



What would be the parametric equations of such a curve? Any ideas?

          Such a curve would have a polar representation
          $$r(phi)=a+bsin(n,phi)qquad(-infty<phi<infty) ,tag{1}$$
          whereby $agg b>0$, and $n>0$ (not necessarily an integer) denotes the number of full periods per one turn around the origin. The representation $(1)$ can be rewritten as a parametric representation as follows:
          $$x(phi)=bigl(a+bsin(n,phi)bigr)cosphi,quad y(phi)=bigl(a+bsin(n,phi)bigr)sinphi .$$

          • Do you know how this is derived or what it signifies? For example, I know that the hypocycloid and epicycloid curves are the paths created by a point P on a circumference of a smaller circle that is rolling on the inside and outside of a bigger circle, respectively, but is there such a model created for these parametric equations?

          • Also, would you happen to know how to increase the amplitude of the sine wave, while at the same time keeping the same angular proportions?
