Technological advancements and the growing material set in the world have created a large variety of options for industrial designers, but little attention has been given to the tools and methods that support material selection processes. In this paper, we report on a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement on methods or approaches reported for supporting material selection processes. This review covers various published literature, spanning from 2000 to 2018. The purpose is to examine in detail the evolution of the extensive body of research, its research streams and to position possible areas for further research. A classification framework consisting of six categories of selection approaches was derived from the extensive literature. Additionally, a detailed analysis of predominant approaches was presented along with their advantages and limitations with respect to the material selection domain. Taken together, the insights gained from this study may be of assistance to new researchers and practitioners who are looking for potential selection methods for their specific applications. The review also found that there is an increasing trend of research in recent years in the area of OR-based method application specifically on the multi-criteria decision-making supporting material selection processes.

材料选择方法的系统评价

世界上的技术进步和不断增长的材料为工业设计师创造了各种各样的选择，但很少有人关注支持材料选择过程的工具和方法。在本文中，我们报告了以系统评价和元分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 声明为指导的综合系统文献综述 (SLR)，该声明关于支持材料选择过程的方法或方法。本综述涵盖了从 2000 年到 2018 年的各种已发表文献。 目的是详细检查广泛研究主体的演变及其研究流，并为进一步研究定位可能的领域。由六类选择方法组成的分类框架源自大量文献。此外，还详细分析了主要方法及其在材料选择领域的优势和局限性。总而言之，从这项研究中获得的见解可能对正在为其特定应用寻找潜在选择方法的新研究人员和从业人员有所帮助。审查还发现，近年来基于 OR 的方法应用领域的研究呈增长趋势，特别是在多标准决策支持材料选择过程方面。从这项研究中获得的见解可能对正在为其特定应用寻找潜在选择方法的新研究人员和从业人员有所帮助。审查还发现，近年来基于 OR 的方法应用领域的研究呈增长趋势，特别是多标准决策支持材料选择过程。从这项研究中获得的见解可能对正在为其特定应用寻找潜在选择方法的新研究人员和从业人员有所帮助。审查还发现，近年来基于 OR 的方法应用领域的研究呈增长趋势，特别是在多标准决策支持材料选择过程方面。
