An Improved TOPSIS Method for Material Selection Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Material selection problem becomes an important issue in the material science field. It is important for design for mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical et al. There are several influencing factors in the material selection process, and thus material selection problem is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Relative entropy measure can depict the closeness of the two systems, and then this paper will use it to develop an improved TOPSIS method for the material selection problem. Finally, a practical example is given to demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
