Abstract

The study comprises dynotest design and analysis to measure torque and horsepower. Basically, a dynotest carried out by apply certain load to the axle of a combustion motor through the braking mechanism of its crankshaft. Due to the high price of a Dynotest unit in the market, it is relatively difficult for a developing institution to own it on their site. The study target to design a simple and good accurate Dynotest within a reasonable price. The study used a common standard method for design analysis which rely on function and structural approach. Functionally, Dynotest is designed to be used to an ouput of an electical motor. Loading on motor shaft was done by disc brake braking mechanism. Structurally, Dynotest was designed to use rollers. As a main component, its mounting construction is connected to a motor to generate electrical power. Power transmitted from the motor to Dynotest through a center joint shaft, torque measured by load cell while the rotation of shaft itself counted by a digital tachometer. Test result show that electricity was produced from the simple construction and Dynotest functioned well in measuring it. Measurement data of roller support shaft performance showed a motor torque performance curve which are similar with the typical of similar Dynotest. Construction Test done by applying Solid Work software analysis to some components partially on rollers and on the construction assembly as a whole unit

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are fundamental to modern electric vehicles, offering high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rates. However, thermal runaway—a critical safety issue involving uncontrolled temperature increases—can lead to fire or explosion. Ensuring flame retardancy is crucial in accidents where battery packs are exposed to external fires. Additionally, battery packs are susceptible to mechanical stresses and potential damage from ground impacts like debris or uneven road surfaces. Effective thermal management significantly impacts capacity and longevity. This review emphasizes the importance of researching flame retardancy, ground impact resistance, and thermal management, especially in composite battery enclosures. Composites serve as a lightweight alternative to metals and help overcome one of the main constraints of EVs, which is weight. Ground impact refers to the physical force battery packs endure during collisions, hitting potholes, debris, or accidents. Therefore, understanding the effects of ground impact on battery enclosures is crucial for design considerations. Effective thermal management is also essential, as it directly affects the performance and safety of Lithium-ion battery packs in EVs.

Abstract

Lightweight frame design plays a critical role in improving the efficiency and sustainability of electric buses. This study aims to explore the optimization of electric bus frame design through the application of Value Engineering (VE), using a systematic literature review (SLR) supported by technical simulation references. The review focused on key parameters, including material selection, structural topology, component dimensions, and production costs, analyzed across more than 40 publications from reputable databases over the past decade. Various studies demonstrate that substituting conventional steel with aluminum alloy 6063 can reduce frame weight by up to 30%, while topology optimization based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) achieves more efficient load distribution and structural integrity.  Additionally, shifting from manual to robotic welding methods has shown to enhance production efficiency by approximately 20%. Despite higher initial costs, VE supports long-term benefits by reducing operational costs, improving energy consumption, and aligning with sustainability goals. The findings suggest that integrating VE into the early stages of electric bus frame design offers a strategic pathway toward lighter, safer, and more cost-effective transportation solutions.

Abstract

Structural strength testing of buses using static vertical load has not previously been explored to validate the structural integrity of bus frames. In this study, the static vertical load method was employed to validate the structural strength of the Universitas of Indonesia electric bus, which utilizes two different materials SS400 for the lower frame and Aluminum Alloy 6061 for the upper frame. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to identify critical areas on both the lower and upper frames. The stress values in the simulation were also obtained at the same location as the strain gauge placements in the experiment. Experimental vertical load testing was carried out by incrementally applying a load of 1000 kg up to the equivalent of 70 passengers, with an additional dynamic coefficient of 30% resulting in a maximum load of 6850 kg. Strain measurements were taken using 20 strain gauges on the lower frame and 8 on the upper frame. The experimental result showed the highest stress occurred at strain gauge no. 9 on the lower frame, measuring 78.10 MPa, and 15.32 MPa on the upper frame under 6850 kg load. The comparison between the simulation and experimental results reveals an 18% deviation. Nevertheless, both methods indicate the same critical area of the structure. The stress distribution indicated that the central deck area of the lower frame, where passengers sit and stand, experienced the highest loads. On the upper frame, significant stress was observed in the area where the air conditioning system is mounted. These findings demonstrate that static vertical load testing can be effectively used to validate the structural strength and stress distribution of electric buses, particularly in areas subject to concentrated loading.
