Generalized Fermi–Walker derivative and non-rotating frame

Abstract

In this paper, generalized Fermi–Walker derivative, generalized Fermi–Walker parallelism and generalized non-rotating frame concepts are given for Frenet frame, Darboux frame and Bishop frame for any curve in Euclidean space. Being generalized, non-rotating frame conditions are analyzed for each frames along the curve. Then we show that Frenet and Darboux frames are generalized non-rotating frames along all curves and also Bishop frame is generalized non-rotating frame along planar curves in Euclidean space.
