“…A strategy to select suitable material for femoral component of knee prosthesis based on a recently proposed multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method in order to improve the longevity and quality of human life discussed by Bahraminasab and Jahan [12]. They ranked the candidate materials for femoral component of TKR and performed the sensitivity analysis to the most significant materials criteria including strength, Young's modulus, ductility, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and osseointegration.…”

“…This method was developed for the multi-criteria optimisation of complex systems (Bahraminasab and Jahan, 2011) and is widely used nowadays. It focuses on ranking and selecting a set of alternatives with conflicting and incommensurable (different units) criteria, and provides a solution according to the measure of closeness to the ideal solution (Cinelli et al, 2014;Mir et al, 2016).…”

The production of virgin raw materials used in construction and the generation of construction and demolition waste (CDW) are key environmental issues in the construction industry. Portland cement and concrete are used extensively in the construction sector. Processing of CDW to produce recycled gypsum cement and recycled aggregates (RA) and their use in the production of structural and non-structural concrete are one way of slowing natural resource depletion and reducing the amount of CDW landfilled. This study proposes the application of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to compare the production of "green" concretes made from recycled gypsum cement (RGC) and RA with the production of conventional concrete made from natural aggregate and ordinary Portland cement. The VIKOR MCDA method was employed to determine the best or a set of good alternative(s) for concrete production, considering environmental and economic criteria. The life cycle assessment method was used to select the environmental evaluation criteria, and the reference cost of producing concrete alternatives in Spain was used to determine economic criteria. The results of this study, in which environmental and economic criteria were considered of equal weight, or one of the two criteria was given greater weight, showed that the best option for structural and non-structural concrete was the use of RGC and RA. In both cases, the worst alternative was conventional concrete. In conclusion, we found that the use of RGC and RA in concrete production is positive because it replaces the original raw material, reduces the environmental impact, and lowers the economic costs.

“…Edwards and Deng [27] emphasized the overall system output depends on the contribution of the all components and their particular materials, instead of one single material or component. In order to select an appropriate biomaterial for the femoral component of TKR, several fundamental material aspects need to be considered, including adequate strength, elastic modulus close to that of bone, good ductility, high corrosion and wear resistance, acceptable biocompatibility and osseointegration ability [28].…”

“…the use of assumptions, approximations and omissions, and even when being applied intelligently, the simplified analysis may lead to sub-optimal solutions. A possible way forward is to consider using multiple criteria decision making techniques as a means of facilitating the analysis of the many attributes that emanate from the disciplines typically involved in biomedical design [28].…”

a b s t r a c tAseptic loosening is one of the main reasons for the revision of a total knee replacement (TKR). The design of the key component of a TKR, the femoral component, is particularly problematic because its failure can be the result of different causes. This makes the development of new biomaterials for use in the femoral component a challenging task. This paper focuses on the engineering design aspects in order to understand the limitations of current materials and design deficiencies. The paper describes the introduction of a new biomaterial for a femoral component and justifies the recommendation to use multi-functional materials as a possible solution to aseptic loosening. The potential advantages of applying functionally graded biomaterials (FGBMs) in prosthetic femur are explained by reducing the leading causes of failure including wear, micro-motion and stress-shielding effect. The ideas presented in this paper can be used as the basis for further research on the feasibility and advantages of applying FGBM in other superior implant designs.
