Abstract

A translational surface is a rational tensor product surface generated from two rational space curves by translating one curve along the other curve. Translational surfaces can also be generated from two rational space curves by dual quaternion multiplication. Using the mathematics of dual quaternions, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a rational tensor product surface to be a translational surface. Examples are provided to illustrate our theorems and flesh out our algorithms.
