Using Fermatean fuzzy aggregation Operators (AOs), this study introduces an innovative method for improving material selection procedures. Combining the advantages of Fermatean fuzzy set (FrFS) and AOs, the proposed method enables a comprehensive evaluation of materials based on multiple criteria. The authors propose two operators: the \u201cFermatean fuzzy hybrid weighted arithmetic geometric aggregation (FrFHWAGA) operator\u201d and the \u201cFermatean fuzzy hybrid ordered weighted arithmetic geometric aggregation (FrFHOWAGA) operator\u201d. This method facilitates informed decision making in a number of industries by taking into account factors such as cost, durability, environmental impact, and availability. This research enables engineers, designers, and decision makers to optimize material selection, resulting in more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions across multiple domains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12100984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T10:36:56Z","timestamp":1697625416000},"page":"984","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Optimizing Material Selection with Fermatean Fuzzy Hybrid Aggregation Operators"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5709-3744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir","family":"Simic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Vojvode Stepe 305, 11010 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, College of Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 320315, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Waseem","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Meerut Institute of Engineering and Technology, Meerut 250005, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7000-9161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Srishti","family":"Dikshit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology Greater Noida, Greater Noida 201306, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2160-4159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bandar","family":"Bin-Mohsin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Mohd","family":"Sadim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Meerut Institute of Technology, Meerut 250103, India"}]},{"given":"Mohd","family":"Anjum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh 202002, India"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103578","DOI":"10.1016\/j.autcon.2021.103578","article-title":"Expertise-based bid evaluation for construction-contractor selection with generalized comparative linguistic ELECTRE III","volume":"125","author":"Chen","year":"2021","journal-title":"Autom.
