An AHP and TOPSIS MCDM-Based Approach for the Selection of Material for Construction Under Fuzzy Environment
摘要
The phase of the design and development process that involves the selection of materials is one of the most challenging phases for any structural component. For the goal of selecting materials that exhibit extraordinary resistance to wear and are suitable for structural applications, the current inquiry makes use of a hybrid MCDM technique that is based on Fuzz-AHP and TOPSIS. As part of the selection process, the physical, mechanical, and wear qualities of composite materials are assessed. These parameters include density, hardness, tensile strength, and other similar characteristics. During the preliminary phase, the Fuzzy-AHP approach is used in order to determine the weights that are allocated to the various qualities. Following this, the TOPSIS technique is applied in order to identify the ranking of materials by making use of the ratio system, the multiplication approach, and the point of reference approach each in their own distinctive way. The comparison is drawn between the categories that were created by the approaches, and it is seen that these methods demonstrate an outstanding level of simplicity and lucidity in their method for assigning scores to the material alternatives. In conclusion, this comparison is made.
