Abstract

Agricultural   waste  management  is  a  pressing  environmental concern, as traditional disposal methods like incineration contribute to pollution. This study explores the fabrication and evaluation of binderless boards made from sugarcane bagasse fibers, eliminating the need for synthetic binders. Bagasse fibers were processed at mesh sizes of 20 and 40, then hot-pressed at 190°C under 9.6 MPa pressure for 15 and 25 minutes, achieving a targeted thickness of 10 mm. The physical and mechanical properties, including density, water absorption, thickness swelling, Modulus of Rupture (MOR), and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), were analyzed. Results showed that particle size and pressing time significantly influenced board properties. The highest performance was  observed in  the  E25 sample (40-mesh, 25-minute pressing), with  a  density of  0.52 g/cm³, MOR of 2.69 MPa, MOE of 293.82 MPa, water absorption of 134.66%, and thickness swelling of 16.80%. These findings suggest that optimizing particle size and pressing conditions enhances binderless board strength and dimensional stability, making sugarcane bagasse a viable raw material for sustainable panel production.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of solution treatment parameters such as temperature, holding time, and quenching media on the hardness enhancement of wrought aluminum alloy 6061-T6 through precipitation hardening. The objectives of this research are to analyze the influence of solution treatment parameters on hardness enhancement, explore the correlation between the solutioning step and the artificial aging process, and optimize the heat treatment process for improved hardness values. Specimens of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy initially exhibited a hardness of 102 HV. After heating to 500°C with holding times of 45, 60, and 75 minutes, followed by quenching in water and SAE 40 oil, Vickers hardness testing revealed significant changes: hardness dropped to 52 HV after solution treatment, then increased to 63 HV (21.15% increase) for 60 minutes and 64 HV (23.08% increase) for 75 minutes. After artificial aging at 210°C for 120, 180, and 240 minutes, the maximum hardness recorded was 113 HV, marking a 10.78% increase from the initial hardness. The quenching medium also influenced hardness; specimens quenched in SAE 40 oil showed improved hardness compared to those quenched in water, likely due to slower cooling rates that allow for better precipitate formation. The increase in hardness is closely linked to microstructural changes during heat treatment. Solution treatment promotes the dissolution of alloying elements, leading to the formation of fine precipitates during aging. These precipitates impede dislocation movement, enhancing the alloy's strength through precipitation hardening. Thus, the density and distribution of these precipitates significantly contribute to the overall hardness enhancement observed in the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to simulate drop-weight impact tests on hybrid fibre composites made of ramie and Eglass, which are used to make the traditional Acehnese boat wall material for jaloe kayoh. Using composites of ramie-Eglass fiber hybrid in the construction of jaloe kayoh wall material will significantly enhance the strength, durability, and sustainability of traditional Acehnese boats. The simulation was carried out using the finite element method approach using the Abaqus software. Three distinct laminate layer configurations—three layers (GRG), five layers (GRGRG), and six layers (GRGGRG)—with alternating Eglass and ramie fibres make up the test specimens. The ends of the specimen are set with fixed support to ensure boundary conditions, which limit all active structural degrees of freedom on all sides of the specimen. According to simulation results, the specimen with six laminate layers, measuring 12.498 mm, had the largest displacement. The specimen with six laminate layers has the highest stress concentration, measured at 560.6 MPa, while the specimen with three layers has the highest strain concentration, measured at 0.023. Its indicating that the lamina variation can influence the structural performance of the jaloe kayoh material. This research contributes to understanding the potential of ramie-Eglass hybrid fiber composites to enhance the safety and durability of traditional vessels such as jaloe kayoh. The implications of the results can serve as a foundation for the development of superior structural materials in the future.

Abstract

Working posture is one of the factors that can influence work productivity because working with an abnormal posture can cause ergonomic problems, especially muscle injuries in workers. This research aims to analyze the worker posture of Make-up Artists (MUA) in Meukek District, South Aceh Regency. The analysis was carried out using the (SNQ) method to identify musculoskeletal complaints and (REBA) with the help of Ergo fellow software to assess worker posture. The research results   showed   that   as   many   as   80%   of   MUA   workers experienced complaints of musculoskeletal, with the most frequent complaints in the waist, shoulders, and neck. The work posture score of MUA workers is categorized as high risk (REBA score 11) in several activities, such as when cleaning the face and applying eyelashes. Risk factors that cause unergonomic work postures include long work duration (2-3 hours per client), with dynamic body positions. Lack of ergonomic work facilities. Based on the research results, several solutions are recommended to improve MUA work posture, including providing solutions for good body posture when working and designing ergonomic work chairs so that they can help MUA maintain optimal body posture while working and reduce risk musculoskeletal. By having work chairs that suit the design, it is hoped that it can improve the comfort and health of MUA workers and reduce the complaints they have been experiencing.

Abstract

Plants fibers such as Calotropis gigantea (CG) are very suitable as noise reduction material. Therefore, this research aims to determine the sound absorption coefficient of CG in the 20 mm test sample and the effect of the perforated aluminum layer on its ability. It was carried out using a test sample made with a thickness of 20 mm and 100 mm in diameter. The thickness of aluminum was 0.3 mm with hole diameters of 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.5 mm. During the experiment, every sample was heated and pressed in a mold for 10 minutes at 200oC. The test equipment used is a Bruel Kjaer Type 4206 impedance tube with 100 mm in diameter. The sample was tested using the transfer function method ISO 10534-2:1998 at a frequency of 1/1 octave. The results indicated that the uncoated sample absorbed noise α = 0.01-0.07 (1-7)% higher than the sample coated with perforated aluminum. This showed that the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) without aluminum coating can reduce noise by 29%, and the measured sample is categorized in class D.

Abstract

Noise control is essential for achieving comfortable living and working environments. Natural fibers such as Scirpus Grossus offer a sustainable approach for sound absorption applications. This study investigates the effect of varying fiber densities of Scirpus grossus on sound absorption performance. Test specimens were fabricated at three density levels; 636.9 kg/³, 318.5 kg/m³, and 212.3 kg/m³. Each had a fixed mass of 50 grams, a diameter of 100 mm, and varying thicknesses of 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm. The samples were hot-pressed at 200°C for 10 minutes. Sound absorption coefficients (SACs) were measured using a Brüel Kjær Impedance Tube Type 4206, following the transfer function method (ISO 10534-2:1998) over third-octave bands. The results show that fiber density significantly affects the sound absorption coefficient (SAC). A decrease in density to 212.3 kg/m³ led to a SAC increase of 0.12 points (approximately 20% relative to the initial SAC value of 0.5428 at 636.9 kg/m³), particularly at 4000 Hz. This indicates that lower-density samples exhibit better acoustic absorption behavior. The average Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) across all samples was around 45%, confirming their effectiveness in sound control. Based on SAC values, the samples are classified as Sound Absorption Class D. These findings suggest that Scirpus grossus fiber mats have strong potential for eco-friendly acoustic insulation materials, suitable for applications in building panels or vehicle interiors.
