Abstract

Brake pad is one of the crucial components of automobile to protect the vehicle against accidents. Natural fiber composites (NFCs) - Flax, Kenaf, Bamboo, Oil-Palm, Sisal, Coir, Hemp, Banana, Palf, and Jute - prepared by different reinforcing agent are used to manufacture brake pads. However, selection of suitable brake pad materials is critical, as there are many NFs, and each NF has some advantages, and limitations. MCDM (Multi-criteria decision-making) technique is widely adopted to select the most suitable alternative materials based on various criteria. In this research, ten alternative NFs have been ranked using seven MCDM methods. Criteria considered in this study are: density, hardness, coefficient of friction, wear rate, compressive strength, degradation temperature, and moisture gain; And weights of criteria are calculated using LGPMBWM (Linear Goal Programming Model for Best Worst-Method). And ranking of natural fibers have been done using CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution Method), WPM (Weighted Product Method), WSM (Weighted Sum Method), CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution), PIV (Proximity Indexed Value), TOPSIS (The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), and MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison methods). The final ranking of alternatives has been done by employing membership degree method. Further, the consistency, and reliability of applied MCDM methods is done by applying sensitivity analysis. As a result of this, Flax occupied the first rank, whereas bamboo proved to be the worst natural fiber for manufacturing of brake pads. This study uses different MCDM technique for the selection problem which makes it more reliable and performance of sensitivity analysis makes it consistent. © 2022. School of Science, IHU.
