Abstract

An engineering material selection computer package for enhanced decision making has been developed. MATLAB software (2021 edition) which has built-in application design environment was employed for the development. The package integrates three main windows: the Login Window, the Add Material Window, and the Select Material Window. Through a detailed review of existing material selection methodologies, this research work presents a unified software solution tailored for engineering material selection. The software automates material classification, provides systematic ranking mechanisms, and offers detailed property displays during selection. Results demonstrate successful integration of material selection into a user-friendly interface, automated classification based on predefined parameters, and systematic ranking mechanisms. The software enables seamless updates, incorporates interactive documentation, and facilitates efficient material selection. The package is recommended for use by engineering students and practicing engineers, providing them with a valuable tool for material selection processes in their respective fields. Further recommendations include, regular software updates and integration with external databases to optimize impact. Overall, this thesis presents a robust software solution that enhances efficiency and accuracy in engineering material selection, aiding decision-making processes across engineering industries.

Abstract

A comparative study on firing temperature effect on the thermo-structural properties of clay for refractory purposes, have been carried out on three Nigerian clay deposits (Mgbom, Amokwe and Amagu Ishiagu clay deposits). Three firing temperatures; 900, 1100 and 1200oC were considered in the study. Standard clay preparation procedures were employed in setting up the experiment, these include; crushing, soaking, drying, grinding, sieving, blending and moulding. Six refractory property tests (linear shrinkage, bulk density, apparent porosity, water absorption, thermal shock resistance and refractoriness) were carried out on the prepared clay according to ASTM standards. For the purpose of microstructural characteristics, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) test was also conducted. The test result gave a 27.26 - 42.53N/mm2, 4.09 – 9.27% 1.66 – 2.07g/cm3 1.01 – 15.65% 19-28 cycles for modulus of rupture, linear shrinkage, bulk density, apparent porosity and thermal shock respectively. The microstructural analysis showed a level of similarity between that of Mgbom and Amagu while that of Amokwe gave a number of visible pores. From the analysis of the obtained results 1200oC firing temperature was recommended among the studied temperatures.

Abstract

Designing sustainable and innovative products today requires more than just good ideas as it demands speed, flexibility, teamwork, and smart use of technology. This study used a systematic review approach guided by PRISMA to examine how Agile project management and emerging technologies enhance concurrent engineering for sustainable and collaborative product design. Literature was sourced from five major databases using targeted search terms. After a rigorous three-phase screening and quality appraisal, relevant studies were thematically synthesized around Agile, AI, automation, cloud platforms, ethics, circular economy, and composite manufacturing. The result showed that revealed that integrating Agile project management into concurrent engineering enhances flexibility, collaboration, and design responsiveness. Design automation and AI tools improve accuracy and decision-making, while cloud-based platforms strengthen real-time teamwork. Generative design supports creativity and rapid iteration. Ethical concerns like transparency and inclusivity emerged as essential. Circular economy strategies help reduce waste and extend product life. In composite manufacturing, concurrent engineering and group design improve material efficiency, product quality, and speed, demonstrating strong potential for sustainable innovation. The findings suggest that integrating Agile practices with emerging technologies creates a powerful framework for building smarter, greener, and more collaborative products now and in the future.
