ANALYTICAL AND MATHCAD INTERSECTION BETWEEN TWO PERPENDICULAR AXES CYLINDERS

The intersection of two surfaces is a common line to both surfaces. This line is often called transition line. The authors propose an analytical and a computer graphics intersection between two perpendicular axes cylinders. The analytical expression of such intersection will be obtained and transposed on the development of one cylinder. The distance between the two cylinders axes is essential in the aspect of the transition line. This transition line can be also obtained, using the computer, by the MathCAD programme. Some samples are relevant in this subject, according to the distance between the cylinders.
