Selection of best alternative among multiple alternatives is a tough task for decision makers in many industrial situations. This paper explores the applicability and capability of an outranking method known as Evaluation of Mixed Data (EVAMIX) method combined with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for selection of right alternative. The novelty of the proposed methodology is its capability of dealing with both ordinal and cardinal information. The integrated approach is a significant tool of the decision making process in industrial environments. Five examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of method.

“…Therefore, some researchers [23,24] focused on how to arrange and improve the infusion process to avoid dry spots and incompletely saturation. Han [25] and Kang [26] analyzed the VARTM process under different vacuum conditions as well as infusion strategy and simulated the infusion process of a boat hull. The abovementioned studies have provided feasible methods for measuring permeability, but permeability measurement through the experiments is a time-consuming procedure.…”

VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) is a popular method for manufacturing large-scaled, single-sided mold composite structures, such as wind turbine blades and yachts. Simulation to find the proper infusion scenario before manufacturing is essential to avoid dry spots as well as incomplete saturation and various fiber weaves with different permeability affect numerical simulation tremendously. This study focused on deriving the in-plane permeability prediction method for FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) laminates in the VARTM process by experimental measurements and numerical analysis. The method provided an efficient way to determine the permeability of laminates without conducting lots of experiments in the future. In-plane permeability imported into the software, RTM-Worx, to simulate resin flowing pattern before the infusion experiments of a 3D ship hull with two different infusion scenarios. The close agreement between experiments and simulations proved the correctness and applicability of the prediction method for the in-plane permeability.
