Abstract. The surface-surface intersection (SSI) problem is very important subject in geometry. We examined
perpendicular transversal intersection problems of eight Frenet ruled surfaces which are called ” Involutive Frenet
ruledsurfaces (IFRS) and Mannheim Frenet ruled surfaces (MFRS) ofa curve α, in terms of the Frenet apparatus
of curve α. First using only one matrix and orthogonality conditions of the eight normal vector fields are given.
Further perpendicular transversal intersection conditions and curves if there exist of eight IFRS and MFRS are
examined.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
The surface-surface intersection (SSI) problems can be three types: parametric-parametric, implicit-implicit, parametric - implicit. The SSI is called transversal if the normal vectors of the surfaces are linearly independent. Also
the SSI is called tangential if the normal vectors of the surfaces are linearly dependent, at the intersecting points. In
transversal intersection problems, the tangent vector of the intersection curve can be found easily by the vector product
of the normal vectors of the surfaces. Because of this, there are many studies related to the transversal intersection
problems in literature on differential geometry. Also there are some studies about tangential intersection curve and its
properties. Some of these studies are mentioned by Wu, Al essio and Costa in [13], using only the normal vectors
of two regular surfaces, present an algorithm to compute the local geometric properties of the transversal intersection
curve. Tangential intersection of two surfaces are examined in [1] too. We have already try generate a surface based
on the other surface. The evolute and involute curves, Mannheim curves or Bertrand curves are the famous examples
of the generated curve pairs. In the view of such information we have generate a new ruled surface based on the other
ruled surface which are called as involutive B− scrolls, and the involute D̃− scroll . They are examined in [11] and [12]
respectively. In this paper we consider special Frenet ruled surface, cause of their generators are the Frenet vector fields

is the modified Darboux vector field of α [5]. A ruled surface can always be described (at least locally) as the set of
points swept by a moving straight line. Frenet ruled surface is one which can be generated by the motion of a Frenet
vector of any curve in IE 3 . The famous example of this situation can be seen in [3]. In this study tangent, normal,
binormal, Darboux ruled surfaces of any curve are collectively named ”Frenet ruled surfaces (FRS) of the curve α”.
Before, in [7] we have an examination on the positions of Frenet ruled surfaces along Bertrand pairs according to their
normal vector fields . Further we have some results on the positions of Frenet ruled surfaces along involute-evolute
curves according to their normal vector fields in [11].
Definition 1.1 ( [2]). In the Euclidean 3 − space, let α(s) be the arclengthed curve. The equations
ϕ1 (s, u1 ) = α (s) + u1 V1 (s)
ϕ
2 (s, u2 ) = α (s) + u2 V2 (s)
ϕ3 (s, u3 ) = α (s) + u3 V3 (s)
ϕ4 (s, u4 ) = α (s) + u4 D̃(s)
are the parametrization of tangent ruled surface, normal ruled surface, binormal ruled surface, Darboux ruled surface
couse of they are generated by the motion of tangent, normal, binormal, Darboux Frenet vector field of any curve,
respectively, in IE 3 . Collectively they are called Frenet ruled surfaces (FRS).
Theorem 1.2 ( [11]). In the Euclidean 3 − space, let η1 , η2 , η3 , and η4 be the normal vector fields of Frenet ruled
surfaces ϕ1 , ϕ2 , ϕ3 and ϕ4 , recpectively, along the curve α. They can be expressed by the following matrix;

Involute of a curve is very familiar offset curve. If the tangent vectors of α and α∗ are intersect orthogonally they
are called evolute and involute curves, respectively. Let the quantities V1∗ , V2∗ , V3∗ and D̃∗ beD collectively

dependent, then first curve is called Mannheim curve, and the second curve is called Mannheim partner curve by Liu
and Wang. As a result they called these new curves as Mannheim partner curves.
