Abstract
In this paper we consider a unit-speed C3-plane curve and its generalized focal curve. Relations between the Euclidean curvatures, shape curvatures and focal curvatures of the corresponding curves are found. We apply these results to nontrivial self-similar plane curves, an involute of a circle and a catenary.
