The egg, as one of the most traditional food products, has long attracted the attention of
mathematicians, engineers, and biologists from an analytical point of view. As a main …

Highlights•Egg volume and surface area are valuable predictors of egg quality
traits.•Hügelschäffer's egg model was examined to describe contours of hen's eggs.•The …

Developing a geometric formulation of any biological object has a number of justifications
and applications. Recently, we developed a universal geometric figure for describing a bird's …

Highlights•Egg volume (V) and surface area (S) should be accurately estimated.•We used
Hügelschäffer's model and simulation to simplify formulae for V and S.•For this, non …

The chicken egg, a major food product, has been, as a model oviform object, the focus of
advanced description in mathematical terms, and such a description has practical …

Mathematical characterisation of an egg shape implies, among other things, the possibility of
its description with simple and accurate formulae. Of mathematical models delineating …

Describing the properties of table eggs requires the development of methods enabling to
look inside the egg without destroying it, suggesting a thorough theoretical study including …

A novel subdiscipline of bionics is emerging in the form of 'egg-inspired engineering'through
the use of egg-shaped ovoids as thin-walled tanks and building structures. Hügelschäffer's …

In this paper we consider Hügelschäffer cubic curves which are generated using appropriate
geometric constructions. The main result of this work is the mode of explicitly calculating the …

Of the variety of bird egg shapes, perhaps the most fascinating and unusual are pyriform
(pear-shaped, or conical) eggs. Among oologists, there is still no consensus on what exactly …
