Abstract

The automotive industry is an automotive company that produces various types of motorcycles, such as automatic, sport and cub. One of the processes is machining. This process is very important because quality is highly considered. In the machining process, the products produced are crankcase R, crankcase L, cylinder comp, cylinder head, crankshaft. Based on initial observations, this process found reject goods. In the cylinder head line machining area, especially the retainer press machine, there is a problem of reject cotter valve soaring and resulting in the repair process. This will have an impact on the addition of time to repair and product quality is reduced. PT XYZ is facing a problem with cotter valve soaring on the cylinder head product with daily report data for the last 3 months, the percentage of cotter valve soaring problems reaching 1.5% exceeding the maximum defect target of 0.5%. This study aims to reduce the level of reject cotter valve soaring during the retainer press machine pressing process. The method used is eight steps. One solution is to modify the punch size to adjust the urethane punch to work optimally. This process will have an impact on reducing the number of rejects. In addition, this repair also does not cause a repair process on the cylinder head part. The results of this study are very significant with the reduction in cotter cases soaring to 0.2%

Abstract

The use of natural materials like rattan in eco-friendly composites is gaining attention in materials engineering. However, its hydrophilic nature and interaction with other materials can affect mechanical strength. This study investigates how variations in rattan size and alkali treatment influence the tensile properties of single rattan strips through an epoxy dipping process. Rattan was prepared with varying lengths (5–15 cm), widths (3–8 mm), and a consistent thickness (0.5 mm). Alkali treatment used 5% and 10% NaOH concentrations for 1 and 24 hours. Tensile testing showed that a 5 cm × 8 mm strip achieved the highest tensile strength (49.95 MPa), Young's modulus (3562.77 MPa), and low strain (5.4%), while the 15 cm × 3 mm strip had the lowest strength (9.48 MPa) and modulus (475.69 MPa) with higher strain (10.32%). A 5% NaOH treatment for 24 hours improved adhesion and performance, while 10% caused degradation.

Abstract

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a rapid and cost-effective method to evaluate orthopedic implants. This research investigates the mechanical performance and long-term durability of a seven-hole SS 316L Basic Fragment Set (BFS) reconstruction plate designed for pelvic fractures. Adhering to ASTM standards, material properties were defined via tensile testing (ASTM E8), while static and fatigue analyses were performed using a displacement control method in a four-point bending test setup in SOLIDWORKS 2024 (ASTM F382). The static analysis predicted failure from plastic deformation at a force of 367 N, with a maximum stress of 621.92 MPa. The fatigue simulation predicted a lifespan of 483,754 cycles. To validate the simulation, these computational results were compared to experimental data, demonstrating high accuracy with deviations of only 3.34% for maximum force and 1.19% for fatigue life. These findings confirm that FEA is a highly reliable tool for predicting mechanical performance, enabling the orthopedic industry to optimize implant designs, enhance patient safety, and improve production efficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the fatigue behavior of sugar palm fibre (SPF)-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites with varying fibre contents (10 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 wt%). The composites were fabricated using extrusion followed by hot press moulding. Tensile tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM D638 to determine the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and fatigue tests were performed under stress levels of 80%, 70%, 60%, and 50% of the UTS, following ASTM D7791. The results indicate that an increase in fibre content leads to a reduction in both tensile strength and fatigue life, likely due to poor interfacial bonding and fibre agglomeration. Fatigue life was found to be significantly higher at lower stress levels across all fibre contents. These findings provide valuable information about the potential and limitations of SPF/TPU composites for applications involving cyclic loading, particularly in lightweight and sustainable material applications

Abstract

Indonesia harbors considerable prospects for bioethanol fuel generation. Underscoring the imperative for establishing optimal fuel concentrations and appropriate burners to facilitate sustainable energy alternatives; this study endeavored to identify the optimal bioethanol concentration sourced from sago waste for application in Honai burners, evaluating the resultant flame output for domestic energy in Papuan custom houses. This analysis adopted an integration of pre-experimental frameworks along with experimental ones. In the early trial stage, concentrations of bioethanol were thoroughly examined concerning low heat value (LHV), specific gravity, viscosity, gas chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis to identify the best fuel characteristics. Following this, the experimental phase assessed flame characteristics, encompassing temperature, fuel mass flow rate, and emissions from combustion gases within the Honai burner. Pre-experimental findings suggest that an 80 % bioethanol concentration is ideal for the Honai burner, displaying a viscosity of 1.03 cP, a density of 0.82 g·L⁻¹, a gas chromatography content of 61.04 %, an LHV of 16.166 MJ/kg, and a heat release rate of 140 kW·m⁻². The experimental phase indicates that a 14-hole burner oriented at a 45° angle yields optimal performance, achieving stable flame temperatures between 480 °C and 750 °C with a fuel flow rate of 60 mL·min⁻¹. Analysis of combustion gases indicates minimal emissions, with carbon monoxide (CO) registering at 0.01 %, carbon dioxide (CO₂) at 0.2 %, and hydrocarbons (HC) at 27 ppm. In summary, this study offers a feasible approach to addressing energy challenges, meeting demand, enhancing accessibility, ensuring availability, and promoting regional energy autonomy for Papuan households in remote locales through the utilization of bioethanol derived from sago dregs in Honai burner cooking devices.

Abstract

This study was focused on the characterize the hibridisation of kenaf and sugar palm fibre in reinforcing the polypropylene matrix. Addition of MAPP (Maleic Anhydride Polypropylene) was used as compatibilizing agent with variation of 2%, 3% and 5%. The specimen materials were prepared with 30% amounts of fibres while the ratios between kenaf and sugar palm fibre are 10:20, 15:15 and 20:10. The composites were fabricated using melt mixer technique and followed by compression molding process. The specimens were cut according ASTM Standard D790 for conducting the flexural testing. After testing done, the results shown that flexural strength of composites tend to decreased when the content of MAPP increased. The ultimate flexural strength was attained at 2% MAPP addition of the hybrid composites with 20% kenaf fibres. Among the composites with different ratios, the hybrid composites that contain more kenaf fibres exhibit the higher value in flexural strength than the composites that contain more sugar palm fibres.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hybrid natural-natural fibre reinforced polymer composites become attractive alternative to seek the friendly-environmentally materials. Study on the durability level of the hybrid composites have the importance reason due to the role in application as structural function. This study focuses on examining the fatigue strength of polypropylene polymer composites reinforced with hybrid sugar palm-kenaf fibres. The hybrid composite materials were prepared by mixing the fibres and matrix with several compositions. There are five composition types of specimens that evaluated, such as 70:10:10, 70:15:15, 70:20:10, 80:10:10 and 90:5:5. The hybrid composites were composed by PP, sugar palm fibre and kenaf fibre. Furtheremore the tensile test were conducted to find the value of ultimate tensile strength for every specimens of hybrid composites. The fatigue test also were conducted with four level of stress i.e. 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%. The results show that in the lower level of stress, the hybrid composites with higher content of sugar palm fibre posses the better performance of fatigue life compare to the others

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

Impeller adalah komponen utama pompa sentrifugal yang sering mengalami kegagalan seperti erosi, korosi dan kavitasi. Untuk mencegah kegagalan tersebut, salah satu cara yang digunakan adalah memberikan pelapis dengan metode TWAS. Pada penelitian yang telah ada, coating dengan metode TWAS menjadi salah satu pilihan yang banyak digunakan, namun belum banyak penelitian yang membahas mengenai pengaruh pengulangan sandblasting pada coating metode TWAS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pengulangan sandblasting pada impeller pompa berbahan baku stainless steel 304 dengan metode Twin Wire Arc Spray Coating dengan NiAl sebagai bond coat dan FeCrBSiMn sebagai top coat. Penelitian ini menggunakan spesimen tanpa diberikan pelapisan dan spesimen tebaik yakni yang diberi pelapisan dengan satu pengulangan sandblasting. Karakterisasi dilakukan untuk mengetahui kekasaran permukaan (ISO 8503), kekerasan lapisan (ASTM E384), coating (ASTM D4541), dan laju korosi (ASTM G102). Pengujian SEM dan analisis ImageJ dilakukan untuk mengetahui struktur lapisan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan sandblasting dengan satu pengulangan memiliki hasil kekasaran permukaan dan ketebalan lapisan terendah. Namun, memiliki hasil karakterisasi lapisan paling optimal dengan porositas dan unmelt terendah, kekerasan tertinggi dengan 1081.6 HV dengan coating yang sudah sesuai dengan standar yakni 14.5 MPa dan semakin banyak pengulangan sandblasting, semakin tinggi laju korosinya. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah satu pengulangan sandblasting dalam metode TWAS sudah memberikan kualitas terbaik yang dapat meningkatkan performa dan penggunaan impeller pompa.
