Although multicriteria selection methods are flexible and extensively used in machining, less attention has been paid to their comprehensive test performance in the electrohydraulic forming process. In this study, five new applications of multicriteria selection methods are proposed to analyze available parameters in the electrohydraulic forming process and select parameters best suited for further analysis and improvement of the process. The analyzed parameters are the stand-off distance, electrode gap, voltage, and medium, while the multicriteria methods are the AHP, FAHP, BMW, entropy, and CRITIC. The proposed methods were demonstrated on experimental data from the literature utilizing an impulse magnetizer system (walker type). For each method, the prioritized parametric results were obtained. All the methods assign the first position to the medium as a parameter with consensus on the voltage parameter has the worst (lowest) value of weights in all the methods. The weights of the medium parameter for the best results are 0.5030 (AHP method), 0.5600 (FAHP method), 0.5230 (best-worst method), 0.4090 (entropy method), and 0.5000 (CRITIC method). The worst parameter for all the methods is the voltage of 0.0320 (FAHP method). The results obtained from the proposed applications were compared with one another and found to be effective for multicriteria selection decisions. This article offers new methods to establish the parametric values of the electrohydraulic forming process for machining composites made of AA1100 sheets.

A dialectical study of the histories of colonization according to scholars like Mohan (2012), Ashcroft (1989) and Bhoemer (1993) are the histories of the collisions between the natives and the European communities, and since colonization involves direct territorial appropriation of another geopolitical entity, combined with forthright exploitation, appropriated cultural power with political sagacity, colonized nations are bound to be subjected to the position of inferior. The outcome of this conflict leads to the emergence of postcolonial theory, whose multiple discourses and trajectories, significations and positional ties has made its conceptualization difficult. Nonetheless as a set of unstable formations, it claims as its special provenance the terrain that in an earlier day used to go by the term 'Third International Journal of Culture and History ISSN 2332-5518 2016 World', describing the emergence of new cultural productions as a result of colonized-colonial relations. This paper however discusses the problems the colonized nations faced after the expiration of the so-called colonialism and through the study of Osita Ezenwanebe's Withered Thrust and Helon Habila's Measuring Time the paper reveals the postcolonial psychosis encountered by nations that have undergone the experience of colonial rule.
