Selection of Sustainable Material for the Construction of Drone Aerodynamic Wing using Neutrosophic RAWEC

Abstract

In light of the expansion of the use of drones in many fields, the development of the drone industry has gained the attention of many researchers. The process of selecting the materials used in developing and constructing the wing of the drone has become a very important and complex matter due to its reliance on multiple and sometimes conflicting criteria. Therefore, it must have an informed approach to the selection and decision-making process thoughtfully. The goal of this research is to introduce a new approach in a neutrosophic environment for the first time, to select the most suitable material for constructing a drone wing. The material must meet several criteria, including low weight, high rigidity, resistance to deformation, durability, and excellent stability. Neutrosophic is one of the most effective tools for dealing with ambiguity since it addresses the problem of uncertainty in the decision-making process. We have presented the SVTNSs - LMAW (single value triangular neutrosophic sets-logarithm methodology of additive weights) approach for calculating the weights of criteria and the new SVTNSs - RAWEC (single value triangular neutrosophic sets-ranking alternatives with weights of criterion) approach for ranking available alternatives involves straightforward computation steps, eliminating the need for pairwise comparisons in contrast to other MCDM approaches and saving time. Also, we examined the impact of changing the normalization method on the rank of the alternatives. We have conducted a sensitivity analysis to ensure the strength and stability of our proposed approach, and the results have proven that the proposed approach for selecting the appropriate material in light of ambiguity and lack of certainty that occurs in real life is very effective. By using the SVTNSs-LMAW-RAWEC approach the companies and factories will choose the most effective and efficient materials to develop and create a drone wing.
