Biography
Amin Amini: received his B.Sc. in civil engineering in 2004 from K.N.T University of technology and his M.Sc. degree in construction management engineering from Science and Research branch of Tehran Azad University in 2010. From 2004 to 2010 as a civil engineer, structural designer and project engineer, he worked on many residential, industrial, cultural and commercial projects in Iran. In 2009 his paper at the first international conference of construction management in Tehran was selected as one of the top 14 admired papers.
From 2012 he is doing his Ph.D. at the civil faculty of Curtin University. His research interests include structural analysis and design, bridge management systems, risk management of infrastructure projects, decision making in engineering and management using multi attribute decision making models and fuzzy logic.

Defuzzification converts the final fuzzy output set of fuzzy controller and fuzzy inference systems to a significant crisp value. However, there are various mathematical methods for defuzzification, but there is not any certain systematic method for choosing the best strategy. In this paper, first we explain the structure of a fuzzy inference system and then after a short review of defuzzification criteria and properties, the main classification groups of most widely used defuzzification methods are presented. In the following after discussing some existing techniques, two new defuzzification methods are proposed by presenting their general performance and computational formulas. However, the principle of these two methods is using weights associated with output fuzzy set like WFM or QM, but unlike the existing approaches, they consider the final aggregated consequent and implicated functions simultaneously to calculate the weights. To show how the proposed methods act, two numerical examples are solved using the presented methods and the results are compared with some of common defuzzification techniques.
