چکیده

The ruled surface is a typical modeling surface in computer aided geometric design. It is usually given in the standard parametric form. However, it can also be in the forms than the standard one. For these forms, it is necessary to determine and find the standard form. In this paper, we present algorithms to determine whether a given implicit surface is a rational ruled surface. A parametrization of the surface is computed for the affirmative case. We also consider the parametric situation. More precisely, after a given rational parametric surface is determined as a ruled one, we reparameterize it to the standard form.

Conchoid surfaces of rational ruled surfaces

The conchoid surface G of a given surface F with respect to a point O is roughly speaking the surface obtained by increasing the radius function of F with respect to O by a constant d. This paper studies real rational ruled surfaces in this context and proves that their conchoid surfaces possess real rational parameterizations, independently on the position of O. Thus any rational ruled surface...

Characterizations 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...

Rational 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...

Rational curves and ruled orders on surfaces

We study ruled orders. These arise naturally in the Mori program for orders on projective surfaces and morally speaking are orders on a ruled surface ramified on a bisection and possibly some fibres. We describe fibres of a ruled order and show they are in some sense rational. We also determine the Hilbert scheme of rational curves and hence the corresponding non-commutative Mori contraction. T...

Implicitization of rational ruled surfaces with -bases

Chen, Sederberg, and Zheng introduced the notion of a μ-basis for a rational ruled surface in Chen et al. (2001) and showed that its resultant is the implicit equation of the surface, if the parametrization is generically injective. We generalize this result to the case of an arbitrary parametrization of a rational ruled surface. We also give a new proof for the corresponding theorem in the cur...
