Abstract

One of the main stages of a wheelchair project is the definition of the structure that must be resistant to allow its use in various environments, light to avoid fatigue and possible health problems in the user's upper limbs and have an adequate cost. The objective of this article is to propose a methodology for the material selection of wheelchair structure to assist in the development and improvement of wheelchair projects. For that, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multicriteria decision-making method was used, which considers predetermined quantitative and qualitative criteria to classify the analyzed alternatives. The method was applied to material selection of a wheelchair structure considering ten alternatives (steels, aluminum alloys and titanium). In this analysis it was identified that the aluminum alloy A7003-T5, is the best material for the wheelchair structure.
