Quality evaluation on diesel engine with improved TOPSIS based on information entropy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the quality of diesel engine using an improved TOPSIS method. In the past research, the quality evaluation of the diesel engine is mainly based on fuzzy evaluation. However, the data generated in the run-in process, which is the test run of the whole diesel engine, have not been fully utilized. In this paper, evaluating the quality of the diesel engine with improved TOPSIS will use the run-in data. By calculating the correlation coefficient matrix of the data, there is a correlation between the indexes, which will have an impact on the evaluation results. Thus, Mahalanobis distance is adopted. Meanwhile, the information entropy is used to determine the weights. Then, a processing method for the appropriate index is put forward. Finally, the improved TOPSIS is demonstrated effective in evaluating the quality of the diesel engine compared with the TOPSIS method based on the subjective weight. The result suggests that the improved method has better distinction degree.
