Novel, useful, and effective definitions for fuzzy linguistic hedges by Aarthi Chandramohan, M. V. C. Rao

“…The main emphasis of this paper is on fuzzy linguistic hedging, used to modify membership functions. This paper investigates the issues of obtaining new definitions for hedges which exceed the traditional definitions given by Zadeh (and others), particularly seeing that the effect of applying these hedges does not cross beyond the reasonable limits of membership values [0,1] and is still meaningful from the point of view of magnitude of membership value and hence be really effective for an application. …”

On bounds of the effective behavior of particulate composites with imperfect interface by Stolz, Claude

“…When the interface mechanical properties are those of a linear elastic material, the minimum of potential and complementary energy is used in order to obtain bounds of effective elastic modulus of the composite. Test displacements or stress fields are build and characterized using Green’s functions of a comparison homogeneous body, polarization fields and extension of the classical Lippmann–Schwinger equations. …”
