Definition of geodesic in English:

geodesic

adjective ˌdʒiːə(ʊ)ˈdɛsɪkˌdʒiːə(ʊ)ˈdiːsɪk

1Relating to or denoting the shortest possible line between two points on a sphere or other curved surface.

Example sentencesExamples
- He introduced the geodesic curvature although he did not use the term which was due to Bonnet who discovered it independently in 1848.
- By 1738 the geodesic measurements carried out to measure the length of a meridian degree had produced very strong evidence for the flattening at the poles.
- A formula for the line integral of the geodesic curvature along a closed curve is known as the Gauss Bonnet theorem.
- He solved a problem posed by Beltrami of representing one surface on a second surface in such a way that geodesic lines in the first correspond to geodesic lines in the second.
- A geodesic sun-tracking model was developed to determine sun position in the sky.
1. 1.1 (of a dome or other structure) constructed from struts which follow geodesic lines and typically form an open framework of triangles and polygons.
  （穹顶或其他结构）网格状的，网架状的
  Example sentencesExamples

  A geodesic lattice framework, referred to as a ‘diagrid structure,’ supports the building and is, in effect, the largest radiator in London.
  The tumultuous morass of geodesic structures is cobbled together from aluminum poles, plastic bags, bed sheets, and rope.
  The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler had proved that a geodesic structure must contain 12 pentagons to close into a spheroid, although the number of hexagons may vary.
  Like a geodesic structure, an increase in the number of nodes should lead to increased stability and strength of the whole system.
  The geodesic grid is scaled according to the size of each dome and except in the smallest dome, where it becomes rather dense, the effect is amazingly light for such enormous spans.
