Assessment of the productibility of hybrid nodes using the multi-criteria method

The article presents an assessment of the productibility of hybrid nodes. The hybrid node is a new structural element the implementation of which causes numerous (especially technological) problems that need to be solved. The most important element of the hybrid node is the socalled connector, the choice of which is a complex and difficult problem. It involves taking into account many aspects (constructional, strength-related, technological, economic) in order to make sure that the choice is as objective as possible. Therefore, an attempt to acquire a comprehensive view at the problem requires that a set of accurate criteria be used for assessment. In this paper, the author undertakes such an attempt. The expert method presented herein allows for choosing the right connector.
