Abstract

In this paper we give the necessary and sufficient condition of which a ruled surface is the principal normal ruled surface of a space curve using the theories of ruled invariants of ruled surface in three dimensional Euclidean space. Then for the ruled surfaces in three dimensional Euclidean space we describe their geometric structures and obtain total classifications. Since the ruled surfaces are the simplest foliated submanifolds, our effective and elementary methods can be used to reveal the properties and structures of the Riemannian foliations and foliated submanifolds.
