Description:

Automotive industry is a very attractive area for young researchers to do continuous research and also it can be considered as an important thrust area as it is directly related to passenger safety. New developments in automotive sector can be seen in many domains like material selection, design, manufacturing etc. Since wrong selection directly leads to product failure, among these, the proper selection of a particular material can be treat as utmost priority. Hence, the present work discusses a methodology to select the best aluminium alloy for automobile panels among various alternates serving the same purpose. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods with entropy weighting criteria are implemented for finding the best material and the results are discussed.
