Spheroid of revolution - spheroid (English spelling)

Japanese: 回転楕円面 - かいてんだえんめん(英語表記)spheroid
Spheroid of revolution - spheroid (English spelling)
Also called a spheroid. In the Cartesian coordinate system O- xyz , a quadratic surface given by the equation x 2 / a 2 + y 2 / b 2 + z 2 / c 2 = 1 ( a , b , c > 0) is called an ellipsoid. In particular, when any two of a , b , and c are equal, the above equation becomes, for example, ( x 2 + y 2 )/ a 2 + z 2 / c 2 = 1 (when a = b ). This is the surface obtained by rotating an ellipse in the xz plane around the z axis. This is called an ellipsoid of revolution. Depending on whether the axis of rotation is the major or minor axis of the ellipse, it is called a prolate or oblate spheroid, respectively.

スフェロイドともいう。直交座標系O- xyz に関して,方程式 x2/a2y2/b2z2/c2=1 ( abc>0 ) で与えられる二次曲面を,楕円面という。特に,abc のうち,どれか2つが等しいとき,上の方程式は,たとえば (x2y2)/a2z2/c2=1 ( ab のとき) となる。これは xz 平面内の楕円を z 軸のまわりに回転して得られた曲面である。これを回転楕円面という。回転軸が楕円の長軸であるか短軸であるかによって,それぞれ長偏球 (長球) ,または短偏球 (偏球) という。
