چکیده
In a recent works Liu and Wang 2008; 2007 study the Mannheim partner curves in the three dimensional space. In this paper, we extend the theory of the Mannheim curves to ruled surfaces and define two ruled surfaces which are offset in the sense of Mannheim. It is shown that, every developable ruled surface have a Mannheim offset if and only if an equation should be satisfied between the geodesic curvature and the arc-length of spherical indicatrix of it. Moreover, we obtain that the Mannheim offset of developable ruled surface is constant distance from it. Finally, examples are also given.

On the evolute offsets of ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space
In this paper, we classify evolute offsets of a ruled surface in Minkowski 3-space L with constant Gaussian curvature and mean curvature. As a result, we investigate linear Weingarten evolute offsets of a ruled surface in L .
متن کاملCharacterizations of Slant Ruled Surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space
In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...
متن کاملA Laguerre geometric approach to rational offsets
Laguerre geometry provides a simple approach to the design of rational curves and surfaces with rational offsets. These so-called PH curves and PN surfaces can be constructed from arbitrary rational curves or surfaces with help of a geometric transformation which describes a change between two models of Laguerre geometry. Closely related to that is their optical interpretation as anticaustics o...
متن کاملA Study on Dual Mannheim Partner Curves
Mannheim partner curves are studied by Liu and Wang [3, 5]. Orbay and others extended the theory of the Mannheim curves to the ruled surface in Euclidean 3-space E3 [7]. We obtain the relationships between the curvatures and the torsions of the dual Mannheim partner curves with respect to each other. Mathematics Subject Classification: 53A04, 53A25, 53B40
متن کاملRational Offset Surfaces and Their Modeling Applications
This survey discusses rational surfaces with rational offset surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. These surfaces can be characterized by possessing a field of rational unit normal vectors, and are called Pythagorean normal surfaces. The procedure of offsetting curves and surfaces is present in most modern 3d-modeling tools. Since piecewise polynomial and rational surfaces are the standard representat...
