چکیده
The objective in this paper is to present a framework for a system that describes objects in a qualitative fashion. A subset of spatial prepositions is chosen and an appropriate quantification is applied to each of them that capture their inherent qualitative properties. The quantifications use such object attributes as area, centers, and elongation properties. The familiar zeroth, first, and second order moments are used to characterize these attributes. This paper will detail how and why the particular quantifications were chosen. Since spatial prepositions are by their nature rather vague and dependent on context a technique for fuzzifying the definition of the spatial preposition is explained. Finally an example task is chosen to illustrate the appropriateness of the quantification techniques.

The stretching elasticity of biomembranes determines their line tension and bending rigidity.
In this work, some implications of a recent model for the mechanical behavior of biological membranes (Deseri et al. in Continuum Mech Thermodyn 20(5):255-273, 2008) are exploited by means of a prototypical one-dimensional problem. We show that the knowledge of the membrane stretching elasticity permits to establish a precise connection among surface tension, bending rigidities and line tension...
متن کاملNew Insights on Free Energies and Saint-Venant’s Principle in Viscoelasticity
Explicit expressions for the minimum free energy of a linear viscoelastic material and Noll’s definition of state are used here to explore spatial energy decay estimates for viscoelastic bodies, in the full dynamical case and in the quasi-static approximation. In the inertial case, Chirita et al. obtained a certain spatial decay inequality for a space-time integral over a portion of the body an...
متن کاملFractional hereditariness of lipid membranes: Instabilities and linearized evolution.
In this work lipid ordering phase changes arising in planar membrane bilayers is investigated both accounting for elasticity alone and for effective viscoelastic response of such assemblies. The mechanical response of such membranes is studied by minimizing the Gibbs free energy which penalizes perturbations of the changes of areal stretch and their gradients only (Deseri and Zurlo, 2013). As m...
متن کاملInvertible structured deformations and the geometry of multiple slip in single crystals
Invertible structured deformations are employed to derive the basic kinematical relations of crystalline plasticity without the use of an intermediate configuration. All of the quantities appearing in these relations have definite geometrical interpretations in terms of either smooth or non-smooth geometrical changes (disarrangements) occuring at macroscopic or sub-macroscopic length scales. Fo...
