Application of Recently Developed MCDM Methods for Materials Selection

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is well known fact that materials play an important role in engineering design. Nowadays over a hundred thousand available materials can be distinguished with constant tendency for increasing the novel designed materials. Therefore material selection process becomes a complex and time consuming task. Selection of the most suitable material for a given application can be regarded as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with conflicting and diverse objectives. New MCDM methods have been developed, and existing methods improved, showing that research in the decision-making is important and still valuable. This paper describes the use of recently developed MCDM methods, i.e. Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) and Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) for selecting the most suitable hard coating material.
