Nephroid: Metric properties, Strict definition & The evolute and involute of a nephroid

In geometry, a nephroid (from Ancient Greek νεφρός (nephrós) 'kidney') is a specific plane curve. It is a type of epicycloid in which the smaller circle's radius differs from the larger one by a factor of one-half.
