چکیده

The paper describes an algebraic framework for representing and reasoning about 2D spatial regions. The framework consists of a Closure Algebra (CA) of half-planes (Boolean Algebra augmented with the closure operator). Terms of the Boolean part of the CA are Boolean combinations of half-planes. The paper also describes an implemented algorithm determining which of the RCC-8 (Region Connection Calculus) relations holds between any two regions representable in the CA. One application of such a system is in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), where often the data is represented quantitatively, but it would be desirable for queries to be expressed qualitatively in a high level language such as RCC-8.

Influence of an Inclusion on Multi-Pass Copper Shaped-Wire Drawing by 2D Finite Element Analysis

The size and length effects of an inclusion on multi-pass copper shaped-wire drawing were investigated. For this purpose, an experimental investigation on optimal die half-angle was conducted. Based on experimental data of optimal die half-angle, wire and inclusion deformations, drawing and hydrostatic stress of copper shaped-wires that contain an inclusion were calculated by two-dimensional fi...

Cracked piezoelectric layer bounded between two orthotropic half-planes

This paper deals with the behavior of anti-plane shear crack in a piezoelectric layer bounded between two orthotropic half-planes within the framework of linear electroelasticity. The crack surfaces are assumed to be permeable or impermeable. The analysis is based on the stress fields caused by Volterra-type screw dislocation in the medium. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the dislocation ...

ON TOPOLOGICAL EQ-ALGEBRAS

In this paper, by using a special family of filters $mathcal{F}$ on an EQ-algebra $E$, we construct a topology $mathcal{T}_{mathcal{mathcal{F}}}$ on $E$ and show that $(E,mathcal{T}_{mathcal{F}})$ is a topological EQ-algebra. First of all, we give some properties of topological EQ-algebras and investigate the interaction of topological EQ-algebras and quotient topological EQ-algebras. Then we o...
