Abstract

 

In this paper, we give some characterizations of constant slope surfaces and Bertrand curves in Euclidean 3-space. We find parametrization of constant slope surfaces for spherical images of tangent indicatrix, principal normal indicatrix, binormal indicatrix and the Darboux indicatrix of a space curve. Furthermore, we investigate Bertrand curves corresponding to constant parameter curves of constant slope surfaces.

 

Key words: Bertrand curve, helix, spherical images, constant slope surface.
