SurfaceAreaNRGE {biogeom}

Calculation of the Surface Area of An Egg Based on the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin Equation

Description

SurfaceAreaNRGE is used to calculate the surface area of an egg that follows the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation.

Usage

SurfaceAreaNRGE(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 Narushin-Romanov-Griffin 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 Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation is:

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

where y denotes the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation (i.e., NRGE), and A denotes the egg's length, which is the first element in the parameter vector, P.

Note

The argument P in the SurfaceAreaNRGE function has the same parameters, as those in the NRGE function.
