Multi-criteria decision making under uncertainties in composite materials selection and design

During a composite application’s initial design stages, the main objective is to have the optimal performance of the final structure. There is a vast demand for lightweight structures with minimum cost and enhanced safety features in all heavy-duty and performance-based industries such as aerospace, automobile, and sports. In order to make prudent decisions and establish the reliability of industrial decision-makers, it is paramount to consider the impacts of uncertainties on the strength and cost of the structure. For that reason, every source of uncertainty should be included when designing an optimal engineering device.
