A Simple Approach to MADM For Identifying The Mechanical Characteristics Of POM/GNTs Composites

Abstract – Polymer gears are becoming increasingly popular today because they are lightweight, cost-effective, andproduce minimal noise. However, their limited strength restricts their use to low-load applications. To address theseshortcomings, composite gears are being introduced as replacements. This research primarily investigates differentvolume fractions of composite materials to identify the most suitable polymer composite gear using Multiple AttributeDecision Making (MADM) methods. Among the various MADM techniques available, the study employs AHP, VIKOR,and TOPSIS to evaluate and rank the alternatives, ultimately determining the best option based on the selected attributes.
