Paper Title
MCDM Technique For Composite Selection
Abstract
In This Research Article Epoxy and polyester based composites reinforced with Glass Fiber/Fillers are
fabricated by manual hand layup process and mechanical properties like Tensile Strength, Tensile modulus, Flexural
Strength, ILSS, Hardness and impact strength are determined. Selection of a composite with respect to above mechanical
characterization parameters is a difficult task; some selection procedure techniques are required to overcome from this
confusion state. TOPSIS is one of the selection procedure technique adopted for this problem. This technique provides a base
for decision-making processes where there are limited numbers of choices but each has large number of attributes. In this
paper some composites are considered with different compositions and various mechanical properties. Selection of the best
composite is done using TOPSIS technique
