“…Weighting factor approach is developed for material selection with combination of non-linear linearization and modified digital logic method by [27]. The life cycle analysis (LCA) based methodology is proposed by Riberio et al [28] is lagged by deep need of engineering knowledge of all the material and/or technological alternatives for the analysis. A significant effort is needed to identify the "best alternative".…”

Selection of best alternative among multiple alternatives is a tough task for decision makers in many industrial situations. This paper explores the applicability and capability of an outranking method known as Evaluation of Mixed Data (EVAMIX) method combined with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for selection of right alternative. The novelty of the proposed methodology is its capability of dealing with both ordinal and cardinal information. The integrated approach is a significant tool of the decision making process in industrial environments. Five examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of method.

“…Furthermore, multi criteria fuzzy logic methods [11] or ranking techniques using similar ideal solutions are presented by other investigators [12]. Moreover, peripheral [13] or environmental costs [14], economic or technology oriented materials should be seen in the decision-making process. Simultaneously, a large number of quantitatively material selection methods are developed in order to analyse a huge mass of data involved in the material selection process so that a systematic evaluation will be arranged [15].…”

Abstract:In this paper, due to some problems deriving from using multiple inputs in fuzzy logic procedure, a simpler high demanding method, which can eliminate some complicated fuzzy membership functions trends is represented. This method is so-called weighed normalized fuzzy method. Despite simple calculations used in the method and user capability to use fuzzy membership functions, ranking utilized in this method is as authentic as other conventional fuzzy logic procedures. Regarding suitable properties of composites which can solve problems happening due to intrinsic characteristic of materials used in electrostatic precipitators, in this investigation wide spectrum of resins and fibres used in manufacturing conductive composites is studied. In addition, some of them are selected through material selection methods with regard to their attributes and high conductivity property, which is suitable for absorbing plates. Selecting best conductive composites among considered conductive composites through this novel method is the final aim of this paper. The results show that vinyl ester, which belongs to Vinyl Ester Resin Woven Carbon and Glass (VRWCG) series, has the most beneficial specification in comparison with other thermoset resins for this intended application. Moreover, vinyl ester resins show better stability in acidic electro filter media.

Abstract. In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation model of light-weighting scheme is established, which is based on three dimensions, including the life cycle costs of the resource consumed by the designed objects (LCC), willingness to pay for the environmental effect of resource consumption (WTP) and performance (P). Firstly, cost of each stage is determined. Then, based on the resource classification, which is based on cost elements, determine the material list needed, and apply WTP weight coefficient to monetize life cycle environmental impact and obtain the life cycle comprehensive cost of designed scheme (TCC). In the next step Performance (P) index is calculated to measure the value of the life cycle costs by applying AHP and SAW method, integrated (TCC) and (P) to achieve comprehensive evaluation of light-weighting scheme. Finally, the effectiveness of the evaluation model is verified by the example of car engine hood.
