A Computerized Procedure for Determining the Suitable Number of Positive Decisions in the Weighted- Properties

Abstract

Nowadays, the selection of materials in automatic way is a very important consideration. In this research, an system is built in a logic sequence, acceptable and easy for use by the user with a possibility of using it on unlimited number of applications. The use of this system leads to calculate the number of positive decisions (m) which is a very important factor in the weighted properties method that is used in the selection of engineering materials. This system considers multiple choices in the difference of the important sequence or equality of importance for some properties. Results proved the efficiency of this system in calculating the value of m, so this system can be considered parallel to the other methods that have been used to determine m valne except that the suggested system can determine m in a computerized way and represents an important direction in the building of automated system for engineering materials selection
