Grinding Wheel Abrasive in Material Selection Using Fuzzy Grey Relation Analysis Method

Abstract:

Material selection is an important step of product design process. There are often several influence factors in the grinding wheel abrasive material selection problem. This article will put forward a fuzzy grey relation analysis method to the grinding wheel abrasive material selection problem which influences factor (evaluation attribute) values expressed with triangular fuzzy numbers. The Coefficient of variation method will be adopted to determine the evaluation attributes’ weight. Finally, an example is used to analysis the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
