Abstract

The tactile assessments on a set of men´s suitings were conducted by an expert panel according to the standardized techniques and processes. Based on the obtained sensory data, a hybrid model integrating the use of fuzzy set theory and genetic algorithms was then developed to study the fuzzy relations between various sensory components and the total fabric hand. In this method, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) was introduced to model the sensory evaluation, and the genetic algorithm was applied to seek a near-optimal weight distribution amongst the seven evaluation criteria. Finally, by comparison with the heuristic methods and the experimental results, the fuzzy-genetic model proposed in this study was verified to be effective and reliable.
