Abstract

This research investigates the effects of incorporating potassium nitrate (KNO₃) into coconut shell charcoal briquettes, emphasizing their physical and chemical characteristics. Briquettes were manufactured utilizing coconut shell charcoal powder, tapioca flour as a binder, and different concentrations of KNO₃ (0% and 10%) as an additive. The aim was to assess the impact of KNO₃ incorporation on the water content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, calorific value, and density of the briquettes. The findings indicated that incorporating KNO₃ resulted in elevated water and ash content, adversely affecting combustion efficiency. Briquettes with increased water content demonstrated reduced mechanical strength and inferior combustion performance. The addition of KNO₃ led to an increased volatile matter content, facilitating ignition of the briquettes while simultaneously resulting in higher smoke emissions. The addition of KNO₃ resulted in a decrease in fixed carbon content, which subsequently lowered the calorific value of the briquettes. The formulation without KNO₃ produced the densest briquette, suggesting that including KNO₃ reduced the briquette density. The inclusion of KNO₃ enhances ignition characteristics; however, it concurrently diminishes the briquettes' overall quality regarding combustion efficiency and calorific value. The Briquette B_1 exhibited the highest results in this investigation, with water content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon content, calorific value, and density values of 4.97%, 1.87%, 17.25%, 80.88%, 7014 Cal/g, and 0.90 g/cm³, respectively.

Abstract

Soket prostesis berperan penting dalam meningkatkan rehabilitas mobilitas pasien pasca amputasi demi mengembalikan pola gaya berjalan mendekati normal. Proses pembuatan soket prostesis memerlukan waktu dan biaya tinggi yang berdampak pada terbatasnya produksi. Teknologi 3D printing menawarkan solusi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi produksi. Namun, saat ini ketersediaan soket prostesis hasil 3D printing masih terbatas, dan penelitian mengenai performa mekanisnya terhadap siklus gaya berjalan belum banyak dilakukan. Dengan demikian, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi dan menggambarkan performa material Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), dan Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) pada soket prostesis yang produksi melalui 3D printing. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode elemen hingga dengan kondisi pembebanan yang mensimulasikan siklus gaya berjalan. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi fase heel-strike sebagai kondisi paling kritis selama siklus gaya berjalan dengan distribusi tegangan terpusat pada bagian posterior-distal soket. Material PET unggul dalam ketahanan lebih tinggi dengan faktor keamanan 1,393 dan tegangan von-Mises maksimum 37,65 MPa. Sedangkan, ABS memberikan kemampuan menahan deformasi lebih baik, dengan total deformasi 5,296 mm dan efektivitas biaya lebih rendah. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam pengembangan soket prostesis yang dipersonalisasi secara efisien dan aman melalui pendekatan simulasi struktural berbasis numerik, serta menawarkan rekomendasi pemilihan material yang optimal terhadap performa dan fungsionalitas soket prostesis hasil 3D printing.

Abstract

The incorporation of wood dust and crumb rubber waste as filler in polymer matrix composite still requires in-depth evaluation of mechanical properties because they have different characteristics. This study evaluates the tensile, flexural, and hardness properties of epoxy composites reinforced with various fractions of wood dust and crumb rubber (5, 10, and 15%). The results showed that the composite with 5% crumb rubber produced the highest tensile strength of 15.52 MPa (CR5), while the highest flexural strength was 30.46 MPa (CR10), and the highest hardness was 75.9 HRC (CR15), indicating superior performance for CR fillers. The observations of the fracture surface showed that increasing the fraction of wood dust contributed to lowering the mechanical performance due to the relatively large distribution of voids and agglomeration. This finding confirms the importance of filler type and fraction selection on composite performance. Future research is recommended to explore filler surface modification and hybrid combinations to improve dispersion and bonding between phases in composites.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of natural filler on the mechanical properties of Spent Coffee Ground (SCG) / Coffee Husk (CH) reinforced epoxy matrix composite. The materials used in this study are epoxy resin as a matrix and waste coffee grounds and coffee husks as natural fillers with sizes of 100-mesh and concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 wt.%. The results showed that SCG 10 wt.% produced the best mechanical properties compared to the other samples based on tensile strength (19.58 MPa), tensile modulus (1.70 GPa), flexural strength (44.55 MPa), and flexural modulus (2.32 GPa). On the other hand, CH 30 wt.% contributed the highest hardness value of 50.33 HRB compared to other samples. The findings in this study prove that the appropriate composition will affect the compatibility between the filler and the matrix, thus impacting the mechanical properties of the composite. This phenomenon can be seen based on microscope analysis, which shows a strong interaction between the matrix and filler and the formation of voids and agglomeration

Abstract

The present study highlights the effective utilization of waste fibers in structural composites for drone frame applications, offering a sustainable pathway for developing high-performance materials while simultaneously addressing the issue of textile waste pollution. This study investigates the effect of ramie and cotton fiber waste fabric stacking sequences on the physical and mechanical properties of composites for quadcopter drone frames. Waste fabric was selected as an eco-friendly material to address textile pollution. The composites were fabricated using the hand lay-up technique with a 3:1 epoxy resin to hardener ratio, incorporating five layers of fabric in different configurations. The physical and mechanical properties, including density, water absorption, material hardness, flexural strength, and macro photography, were tested. The results showed that the composite made from fully cotton fabric (K-K-K-K-K) had the best density (1.182 g/cm³), lowest water absorption (2.22%), highest hardness (85.6 HD), and flexural strength of 179.1 MPa. These findings indicate that cotton fabric waste is a promising, sustainable material for composite reinforcement in quadcopter drone frame applications.
