In this paper, we study the spherical indicatrices of W-direction curves in three dimensional Euclidean space which were defined by using the unit Darboux vector field W of a Frenet curve, in [11]. We obtain the Frenet apparatus of these…
The Frenet frame is generally known an orthonormal vector frame for curves. But, it does not always meet the needs of curve characterizations. In this study, with the help of associated curves of any spatial curve we obtained a new…

In this paper, we define a new family of curves and call it a {\it family of similar curves with variable transformation} or briefly {\it SA-curves}. Also we introduce some characterizations of this family and we give some theorems. This…
We consider a unit speed curve $\alpha$ in Euclidean four-dimensional space $E^4$ and denote the Frenet frame by $\{T,N,B_1,B_2\}$. We say that $\alpha$ is a slant helix if its principal normal vector $N$ makes a constant angle with a fixed…
In this paper, we study helices and the Bertrand curves. We obtain some of the classification results of these curves with respect to the modified orthogonal frame in Euclidean 3-spaces.
In classical curve theory, the geometry of a curve in three dimensions is essentially characterized by their invariants, curvature and torsion. When they are given, the problem of finding a corresponding curve is known as 'solving natural…
In this study, we investigate a new type of a surface curve called a new D-type special curve. Also, we show that this special curve is more generally than a geodesic curve or an asymptotic curve. Then, we give the necessary and sufficient…
We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix,…
In this study, we define the generalized normal ruled surface of a curve in the Euclidean 3-space $E^3$. We study the geometry of such surfaces by calculating the Gaussian and mean curvatures to determine when the surface is flat or minimal…
In this paper we generalize the notion of helix in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, which we define as that curve $C$ for which there is an $F$-constant vector field $W$ along $C$ that forms a constant angle with a fixed direction $V$…
We consider skew ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space and some geometrically distinguished families of curves on them whose normal curvature has a concrete form. The aim of this paper is to find and classify all ruled…
In this study, the new characterizations of special curves are investigated without using the curvatures of these special curves: general helices, slant helices, Bertrand curves, Mannheim curves. The curvatures are given by the help of the…

In this paper, we introduce isophote curves on surfaces in Galilean 3-space. Apart from the general concept of isophotes, we split our studies into two cases to get the axis d of isophote curves lying on a surface such that d is an…
We consider a curve $\alpha=\alpha(s)$ in Minkowski 3-space $E_1^3$ and denote by $\{T,N,B}$ the Frenet frame of $\alpha$. We say that $\alpha$ is a slant helix if there exists a fixed direction $U$ of $E_1^3$ such that the function…

We characterize helix surfaces (constant angle surfaces) in the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\r)$. In particular, we give an explicit local description of these surfaces in terms of a suitable curve and a 1-parameter family of…
