“…The AHP method is gaining popularity because of its understandability and application simplicity. The AHP has found wide utility in several domains like biomedical, energy systems, and industrial applications [17][18][19] as well as social, economic, agricultural, ecological and biological fields [19,20].…”

“…AHP helps capture both subjective and objective evaluation measures, providing a useful mechanism for checking the consistency of the evaluation and alternatives, thereby, reducing bias in decision making [18,19,21]. When making complex decisions involving multiple criteria, the first step is to decompose the main goal into its constituent sub-goals, also called objectives, progressing from the general to the specific.…”

Abstract-The wireless link between a mobile phone and its surrounding crucially depends on the quality and properties of the mobile phone antenna.The process of antenna selection is a multi-criteria decision-making problem with conflicting and diverse objectives. In this work, a model was built to select the best GSM mobile phone antenna in the design phase to increase the overall performance in the band. The model includes building an analytic hierarchy structure with a tree of hierarchical criteria and alternatives to ease the decision-making. The antenna options considered were limited to retractable whip antenna, loop chip antenna, monopole antenna, planar inverted F-antenna (PIFA), microstrip patch antenna, and printed slot antenna. An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to assist in building the model and help draw decisions. As a result of the decision making process, the monopole antenna was found to be the best choice for the GSM mobile phone antenna. Expert Choice TM software was used to conduct the experimental assessments. The judgments were found to be consistent, precise and justifiable with narrow marginal inconsistency values. The paper also presents a thorough sensitivity analysis to demonstrate the confidence in the drawn conclusions.

“…The implementation of new materials as well as bio-composites in a specific industrial sector is limited by several constrains and factors (AL-Oqla and Sapuan, 2014;Dweiri and Al-Oqla, 2006;Luz et al, 2010;Blennow et al, 2014;Sgroi et al, 2014a;Hayajneh et al, 2008;Asfar and AL-Oqla, 2003). Therefore, selecting the most suitable material type for a particular application is a complex matter where proper decisions have to be taken utilizing the pairwise comparisons, which is the base of decision making process in different engineering applications (Dweiri and Al-Oqla, 2006;AL-Oqla and Hayajneh, 2007;Al-Oqla and Omar, 2012;Al-Widyan and Al-Oqla, 2011;Dalalah et al, 2010;AL-Oqla et al, 2015a).…”

Proper material selection enhances both desired physical and meta-physical properties of the end user products. Due to the growing awareness of the environmental issues as well as the industrial sustainability, the Natural Fiber Composites (NFCs) have recently emphasized to be implemented in various industrial applications. The final product features of such composites depend on the integrated characteristics of both matrix and fillers properties. Selecting an appropriate natural fiber type to form an NFC is affected by several factors and criteria. Up-to-date, natural fibers are evaluated regarding limited number of criteria. This study, introduces a proper integrated evaluation and selection scheme for the natural fibers and their capabilities considering integrated evaluation. Results demonstrate that better evaluation of natural fibers regarding wide range of criteria would lead to better decisions regarding selecting the suitable NFCs for industrial applications and enhance achieving better performance. Such evaluations should consider combined economic and environmental characteristics as well as technical ones. New potential fiber types can be discovered and utilized through better evaluations using combined desired criteria.
