Lines of principal curvature on canal surfaces in R³
In this paper are determined the principal curvatures and principal curvature lines on canal surfaces which are the envelopes of families of spheres with variable radius and centers moving along a closed regular curve in R³. By means of a connection of the differential equations for these curvature...
