Abstract: | In the process of concept design offshore platforms, it is necessary to select the best from feasible alternatives through comparison and filtering. Fuzzy optimal selection in multiple stages is an useful method in engineering decisionmaking, but in some cases, it is difficult to make a distinction between the first alternative and the second. Therefore it is necessary to improve the fuzzy optimal selection method with multiple stages. In this paper, using fuzzy cross iteration optimal modeling, the weight sensitivity analysis is made firstly. Then a second decision-making method to solve fuzzy optimal problems is proposed. Its basic principle is the inverse reasoning in mathematics. This method expands the applied range of fuzzy optimal selection. Finally this method is used in the concept design of offshore platform. A case study shows that this method is scientific, reasonable and easy to use in practice. |
