Multiple attribute decision-making solution to material selection problem based on modified fuzzy axiomatic design-model selection interface algorithm

Material selection, one of the mostly encountered decision problems in material science literature, is still an onerous task for manufacturing organisations. Achieving accurate solution to this issue, the paper developed a model selection interface to enable analytical solutions to different problem concepts in material selection under multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) environments. Specifically, the generic framework of the fuzzy axiomatic design-model selection interface (FAD-MSI) is modified and successfully applied to the different material selection problem concepts. Consequently, the derived problem-model sets can be referred to accomplish further proposals on this era.
