Abstract EN
The ability to select the most appropriate materials for a given application is the fundamental challenge faced by a design engineer.
The objective of any material selection procedure is to identify appropriate selection criteria and to obtain the most appropriate combination of criteria in conjunction with requirements.
Hence, selection of material is a multicriteria decision making problem.
This study investigates and evaluates critical material selection criteria in a priority framework using the fuzzy Delphi-analytical hierarchy process method to overcome all shortcomings from AHP and Delphi methods that are common in material selection problem.
75 of the most important criteria for material selection have been collected from the literature.
These criteria have been questioned in automobile interior design firms in Iran for car dashboard design.
This ranking method would help product designers to decide on appropriate materials in a consistent method.
Results indicate that “general” criteria such as availability, quality, risk, and technology are the most important criteria from the viewpoint of Iranian car manufacturers.
Other criteria such as financial, technical, social and environmental, and sensorial criteria are relatively important in subsequent ranks.
