This research is concerned in showing
the importance of material selection in production design stage,
the factors that involved the material selection strategies and
its criteria and the modern approach of materials selection
since there are many techniques of material selection. The
proposal work helps in choosing the following appropriate
techniques from many quantitative ones. The following techniques
(Geometrical approach, Algebraic Approach), were included in the
work the developed system solves the selection techniques and
introduce the best material from a database contains the steel
family. The case study was examined from the real world of
manufacturing and satisfactory results were obtained. The
developed algorithm is being to build Material Selection
Techniques system called MASTECH which incorporates making
decisionon materials selection. In the research, MASTECH system
has been developed to aid both designers and manufacturing
engineers in choosing the most suitable material |
