Abstract

Material selection has long been seen as a critical activity in both the design and product development processes. Inappropriate material selection can result in the product being remanufactured and reproduced at a later stage of development. This article conducts a decision-making study of bumper beams to avoid such scenarios, assisting designers in material selection. To accomplish this, a hybrid multicriteria decision-making analysis (MCDA) approach combining the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy technique for ranking preferences by the similarity of ideal solutions (TOPSIS) was designed. Carbon fibre reinforced in an epoxy matrix was discovered to be a more appropriate material for vehicle bumper beams. This study will assist designers and product development personnel in making the optimal material selections for the automobile sector.
