The involute-evolute offsets of ruled surfaces

Abstract

In this study, a generalization of the theory of involute-evolute curves is presented for ruled surfaces based on line geometry. Using lines instead of points, two ruled surfaces which are offset in the sense of involute-evolute are defined. Moreover, the found results are clarified using computer-aided examples. © Shiraz University. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
