The selection of an optimal material is an important aspect of design for mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical or other application. Many factors (attributes) need to be considered in material selection process, and thus material selection problem is a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. This paper proposes a new MADM method for material selection problem. G1 method does not need to test consistency of the judgment matrix. Thus it is better than AHP. In this paper, firstly, we use the G1 method to determine the attribute weight. Then TOPSIS method is used to calculate the closeness of the candidate materials with respect positive solution. A practical material selection case is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Distance evaluation and its improved algorithms using Vertical distance instead of Euclidean distance were discussed in engineering materials selection. Taking the selection of materials for low temperature storage container as an example, based on eight kinds of evaluation indices, according to the weight obtained by AHP method, ten kinds of candidate materials were evaluated by using distance evaluation and its improved algorithms. The results indicate that, the optimal material selected coincides with the practice of industry, and the sequence of the candidate materials arranged using improved algorithms is more reliable, which shows that improved algorithms of distance evaluation is a feasible and effective way for engineering materials selection.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is the increasing trend now a day, in revision surgery which is associated with aseptic loosening, which is a challenging research for the TKR component. The selection of optimal material loosening can be controlled at some limits. This paper is going to consider the best material selected among a number of alternative materials for the femoral component (FC) by using Graph Theory. Here GTMA process used for optimization of material and a systematic technique introduced through sensitivity analysis to find out the more reliable result. Obtained ranking suggests the use of optimized material over the other existing material. By following GTMA Co_Cr-alloys (wrought-Co-Ni-CrMo) and Co_Cr-alloys (cast-able-Co-Cr-Mo)are on the 1st and 2nd position respectively.

The selection of an optimal material is an important aspect of design for mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical or other application. Material selection problem is a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem, which has several evaluation attributes. The selection decisions are complex, as material selection is more challenging today. This paper proposes a new MADM method for material selection problem. Combining the TOPSIS with grey relation analysis, the method proposed a comprehensive value to evaluate and select the best alternative. A real material selection case is used to demonstrate that the proposed method is effectiveness and feasibility.

AbstractThe article presents the methodology of optimal selection of material and the form of semi-product for the rotors of the spindle-less spinning machine. The multicriteria approach was utilized taking into account versatile criteria. The applied procedure consists of two stages: the optimum method in the Pareto sense and the method of distance function. Based on the analysis of the spinning head work, rotor and availability function, six different materials and three forms of semifinished products (extruded bar, forged element, and cast element) were considered. In consequence, the admissible set consisting of nine elements was obtained. For the evaluation of technological quality of the rotor, the following criteria were proposed: index of functionality of the material σf/ρ, maximum height of the surface peaks, Sp, and maximal hardness on surface of oxide layer μHV0,1. Finally, taking into account the economical criterion (unit cost), the Pareto-optimal set of solutions was determined based on four criteria. Due to the fact that this set contained five variants, the distance function was utilized for choosing the best final variant. The optimal material and the semi-product (because of the assumed criteria) chosen were as follows: alloy AlSi1MgMn and the forged element—because in this case the value of distance function was minimal.

Facing serious environmental degradation and its resulting of climate warming, how to conserve energy and reduce emissions becomes a serious issue for government supervisors and modern vehicle enterprises. Reducing the mass of a vehicle is one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions and improve fuel utilization, essential to persist the low-carbon and sustainable-development bases in industrial production processes. When it comes to the selection of lightweight material for a car body in the processes of vehicle production, it is essential to comprehensively evaluate multiple relevant attributes in order to select the optimal material from several alternatives. Thus, it can be seen as a multicriterion decision-making (MCDM) problem. However, it is difficult to consider both the uncertainty of the expert’s preference and the imprecision of the attribute estimate. Considering this, this paper uses the method integrating grey relational analysis (GRA) with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to solve the problem of lightweight material selection for a car body. The AHP method is used to determine the weight of each attribute, and the GRA method is to select the optimal material among several alternatives. Finally, a case study is applied to verify the practicability of the proposed approach. The result shows that the proposed multicriterion decision method provides a precise and objective foundation for making decisions about the material selection issue.

Selection of material is a crucial part of the voyage of obtaining the optimal product. The task is challenging for the designer who has to select the optimal material from a list of thousands of materials that satisfy the tangible and intangible criteria. The problem of identification of the optimum material can be solved using different MCDM (multi-criteria decision-making) tools. This chapter proposes to select the optimal material for polymeric composite bumper beam using TODIM (tomada de decisao interativa multicriterio, which means in Portuguese “interactive and multi-criteria decision-making”) method. Six different composite materials were considered. Glass fiber epoxy turns out to be the optimal material for the bumper beam. Further, finite element analysis was carried out to study the behavior of the candidate materials under specific loading conditions.
