Abstract

In this study, a generalization of the theory of involute-evolute curves is presented for ruled
surfaces based on line geometry. Using lines instead of points, two ruled surfaces which are offset in the sense
of involute-evolute are defined. Moreover, the found results are clarified using computer-aided examples
