On the kinematic interpretation of timelike ruled surfaces

Abstract

Timelike ruled surfaces are studied in dual Lorentzian space [Formula: see text] by considering E. Study Mapping and Blaschke frame. A reference timelike ruled surface is considered and associated surfaces are defined. First, it is shown that the surface generated by the instantaneous screw axis (ISA) is a Mannheim offset of reference surface. Later, the kinematic interpretations between these surfaces are introduced by means of Blaschke invariants.
