Evaluating Quantitative Measures for Assessing Functional Similarity in Engineering Design
activities relevant to several applications, including competitive benchmarking, design-by-analogy, and patent infringement. Specifically, the work focuses on the similarity of functional implementations across products (as opposed to form), using structured functional models that are expressed mathematically.
