摘要：The paper provides an overview of five types of ruled helical surfaces which can be used for helical conveyers, support anchors and screws. The geometry of helical surfaces has been well studied. Several available methods of strength analysis of helicoidal shells give one a choice in solving one-dimensional or two-dimensional problems. The basic problems considered in this paper include geometrical research and static analysis of right and developable helicoids. Several works dealing with stress-strain state of oblique, pseudo-developable helicoids, and pseudo-developable helicoid of general type are given in References.
