    An approach for minimal surface family passing a curve

    Full text link
    We investigate minimal surfaces passing a given curve in R3R^{3}. Using the Frenet frame of a given curve and isothermal parameter, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for minimal surface. Also we derive the parametric representation of two minimal surface families passing a circle and a helix as examples

    Ruled Surfaces according to Rotation Minimizing Frame

    Full text link
    In this paper, we investigate the ruled surfaces generated by a straight line according to rotation minimizing frame (RMF). Using this frame of a straight line, we obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the ruled surface is developable. Also, we give some new results and theorems related to be the asymptotic curve, the geodesic curve and the line of curvature of the base curve on the ruled surface.Comment: 10 pages, 2 Figure

    Intrinsic Equations For a Relaxed Elastic Line of Second Kind on an Oriented Surface

    Full text link
    Let {\alpha}(s) be an arc on a connected oriented surface S in E3, parameterized by arc length s, with torsion {\tau} and length l. The total square torsion F of {\alpha} is defined by T=\int_{0}^{l}\tau ^{2}ds\ $. . The arc {\alpha} is called a relaxed elastic line of second kind if it is an extremal for the variational problem of minimizing the value of F within the family of all arcs of length l on S having the same initial point and initial direction as {\alpha}. In this study, we obtain differential equation and boundary conditions for a relaxed elastic line of second kind on an oriented surface.Comment: 8 page

    Surfaces Family With Common Null Asymptotic

    Full text link
    We analyzed the problem of finding a surfaces family through an asymptotic curve with Cartan frame. We obtain the parametric representation for surfaces family whose members have the same as an asymptotic curve. By using the Cartan frame of the given null curve, we present the surface as a linear combination of this frame and analysed the necessary and sufficient condition for that curve to satisfy the asymptotic requirement. We illustrate the method by giving some examples.Comment: 10 pages and 5 figure

    Surfaces with a common asymptotic curve in Minkowski 3-space

    Full text link
    In this paper, we express surfaces parametrically through a given spacelike (timelike) asymptotic curve using the Frenet frame of the curve in Minkowski 3-space. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the coefficients of the Frenet frame to satisfy both parametric and asymptotic requirements are derived. We also present some interesting examples to show the validity of this study.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure

    Surface family with a common natural asymptotic lift of a timelike curve in Minkowski 3-space

    Full text link
    In the present paper, we find a surface family possessing the natural lift of a given timelike curve as a asymptotic in Minkowski 3-space. We express necessary and sufficient conditions for the given curve such that its natural lift is a asymptotic on any member of the surface family. Finally, we illustrate the method with some examples

    Structure and characterization of ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space

    Full text link
    In this paper, we consider non developable ruled surface with spacelike ruling, timelike ruling, respectively. We give the relations between the structure functions with the curvature and torsion of the striction line of the timelike and spacelike non developable ruled surfaces. Also, we have calculated the gaussian and mean curvatures of timelike and spacelike non developable ruled surfaces using the structure functions.Comment: 9 page

    Parametric Representation of a Hypersurface Family With a Common Spatial Geodesic

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the problem of finding a hypersurface family from a given spatial geodesic curve in R4. We obtain the parametric representation for a hypersurface family whose members have the same curve as a given geodesic curve. Using the Frenet frame of the given geodesic curve, we present the hypersurface as a linear combination of this frame and analyse the necessary and sufficient condition for that curve to be geodesic. We illustrate this method by presenting some examples.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figure

    An approach for designing a surface pencil through a given asymptotic curve

    Full text link
    Surfaces and curves play an important role in geometric design. In recent years, problem of finding a surface passing through a given curve has attracted much interest. In the present paper, we propose a new method to construct a surface interpolating a given curve as the asymptotic curve of it. Also, we analyze the conditions when the resulting surface is a ruled surface. Furthermore, we prove that there exists no developable surface possessing a given curve as an asymptotic curve except plane. Finally, we illustrate this method by presenting some examples.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1305.3381, arXiv:1406.0618 by other author
