This paper presents a single yet powerful approach for modeling engineering artifacts. The approach involves using (1) a symbolic language for representing engineering artifacts in terms of objects and relations and (2) a mechanical strategy for manipulating engineering artifacts. The approach provides a common platform for modeling different phases of the engineering problem solving process, thus facilitating system integration.}, number={2}, journal={BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENT}, author={LAKMAZAHERI, S and RASDORF, WJ}, year={1992}, month={Apr}, pages={209–220} } @article{rasdorf_lakmazaheri_1991, title={A logic-based approach for processing design standards}, volume={4}, DOI={10.1017/s0890060400002377}, abstractNote={A logic-based approach for automating the processing of design standards is illustrated.

One of the main outcomes of these studies is the standards analysis, synthesis, and expression (SASE) model. To extend the utility of the SASE model for processing (reasoning about) design standards, a logic‐based approach is proposed. This approach provides: (1) A formal language, founded on predicate logic, for representing the standard; and (2) a mechanical means for reasoning about the standard using the language. The formal language is used to model the overall organization of a portion of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) design specification. The model, called the formal organizational submodel, is composed of a set of axioms that capture the relationships between the classifiers and the provisions of the standard. Reasoning about the formal organizational submodel is accomplished using the resolution theorem proving strategy.

The behavior of a truss structure is modeled as the set union of the behavior of its constituent components where the behavior of each component is modeled by a set of constraints. This component/constraint model is formally represented by a set of axioms using predicate logic. The axioms are then used toanalyze and partiallysynthesize truss structures via theorem proving. Constraint logic programming is identified as a suitable implementation vehicle for the analysis and partial synthesis of truss structures via theorem proving. Several important implications of the formulation for structural design automation, data base integrity, and parallel processing are discussed.}, number={1}, journal={ENGINEERING WITH COMPUTERS}, author={LAKMAZAHERI, S and RASDORF, WJ}, year={1990}, pages={31–45} } @article{rasdorf_lakmazaheri_abudayyeh_1990, title={THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GEOMETRIC MODELING DATABASE-MANAGEMENT INTERFACE}, volume={12}, ISSN={["0961-3552"]}, DOI={10.1016/0141-1195(90)90022-X}, abstractNote={In order to transfer data between two software systems used as part of an overall CAD/CAM system for the design and manufacture of custom orthopedic footwear, we developed an interface program to map the system's imputs and outputs.
