“…Although using other techniques like simulation-based approaches could lead to more reliable results, it will increase the complexity of solving the mathematical models. Future research can focus on integration of the proposed methodology with other weighting and MCDM methods like WASPAS [57], EDAS [58], COPRAS [59], SWARA II (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis II) [60], MEREC (MEthod based on the Removal Effects of Criteria) [61], FUCOM (FUll COnsistency Method) [62] etc. Moreover, extension of the proposed methodology in different uncertain environments could be another area for future research.…”

The process of production, consumption, and final disposal of electrical and electronic equipment usually leads to harmful waste to the environment called e-waste. Eliminating and decreasing this type of waste could be considered as an essential goal for many enterprises working toward sustainable management systems. In this paper, we aim at introducing a new methodology for evaluation of sustainable e-waste management scenarios. The evaluation is defined as an MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision-Making) problem, and the scenarios are the alternatives of the problem that need to be evaluated with respect to several sustainability criteria. An extended fuzzy SECA (Simultaneous Evaluation of Criteria and Alternatives) integrated with SMART (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique), named F-SECA, is proposed to deal with the evaluation process. The α-cut approach is used to consider different levels of uncertainty and obtain interval values for assessment of criteria and alternatives. The proposed methodology helps us to make the evaluation with incorporation of subjective and objective data, opinions of multiple experts and uncertainty of information. We applied the methodology to evaluate sustainable e-waste management scenarios in a case. Through comparative and sensitivity analyses, the paper shows that the proposed methodology is efficient and gives reliable results.

Compliant mechanisms with flexure hinges work based on the deformation of a flexure hinge. The high displacement amplification ratio of the compliant mechanism gives it a large working space, an issue that has been challenging to solve for researchers. Therefore, this study proposes grey relational analysis and the TOPSIS method, the EDAS method and the Taguchi method as means of optimising the displacement magnification of a novel symmetrical differential lever displacement magnification compliant mechanism. The model of the mechanism studied here was designed by SolidWorks. The design variables of the model consisted of variable A, variable B, variable C and variable D. The design variables and their levels were used to create 27 different models with Minitab experimental design software. The displacement and stress of the 27 models was then analysed with the finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS. The results of the FEM analysis were used in optimisation with the methods mentioned above. The FEM results indicated that the designed variables significantly affected the displacement and stress of the symmetrical differential lever displacement magnification compliant mechanism. Issues were also confirmed with five optimisation methods. The predicted and optimal values of the displacement were 0.11276 mm and 0.1179 mm, with error of 4.36%. The input displacement was 0.01 mm, while the displacement magnification ratio was 11.79 times.

In the pursuit of sustainable urban development, the implementation of cleaner propulsion systems in public transportation emerges as a critical strategy to reduce urban pollution and emissions. This study focuses on the City of Niš, where conventional propulsion vehicles, predominantly buses, contribute significantly to environmental degradation. The necessity to adopt alternative propulsion systems is underscored by the myriad of limitations and uncertainties that accompany such a transition. To address this complexity, the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method was employed to derive weight coefficients, while the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method was utilized to select optimal propulsion systems. These methodologies facilitated a comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, including buses, electric trolleybuses, and trams, for both city and suburban public transport. The integration of these multi-criteria decision-making techniques enabled a systematic analysis of each alternative against established criteria, thereby assisting in the identification of the most advantageous propulsion systems. This approach not only aids in making informed decisions that align with sustainability objectives but also contributes significantly to mitigating the environmental impact of urban transport. The findings from this study provide a foundational framework that supports decision-makers in the strategic implementation of environmentally sustainable transport solutions in urban settings.
