A Material Selection Method Based on Double Base Points

Abstract:

The selection of the most desirable material contains many evaluation attributes, and thus leads to hard be solved. The material selection is actually a multiple attributes decision making problem, which has been studied by many authors. The aim of this study is to propose a new material selection method, which is an improved double base points method through defining the entropy weight and used the relative approach degree to measure the distance measures. The method may avoid the influence of subjective factors through the entropy weight, is very suitable for material selection problem. The applied example proves that the method is both effective and exercisable.
