Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the entrepreneurial opportunities in the automotive sector during the pandemic. This study uses a survey method with a population of graduates of the Mechanical Engineering KBK Automotive D3 Study Program at a university located in the city of Bandung, West Java. The type of data in this study is mainly based on the responses of respondents who were collected through a questionnaire made in the google form. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the entrepreneurial opportunities in the automotive sector during the pandemic were the most chosen by the respondents in the first place, selling spare parts and service in second. This opportunity was obtained from the experience of those who worked in the automotive sector in 2020 which occurred during the covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This research aims to achieve the smallest possible turning radius for the knuckle joint while also meeting the regulations set by the Shell Eco-Marathon (SEM) committee regarding the design angles and lengths. Calculations and testing are conducted using simulation methods to obtain suitable angles and lengths for the knuckle. This simulation method involves a series of analyses to obtain data such as static turning radius diagrams, followed by an analysis using the camber calculation formula. The shape, angle, length, and design of the knuckle are considered with regard to driving safety factors. The findings of this study indicate that for a six-meter turning radius, the outer wheel requires a steering angle of δ_0=10.868°, and the inner wheel requires a steering angle of δ_i=77.397°. After improvements, for a 5.5-meter turning radius, the outer wheel requires a steering angle of δ_0=15.960°, and the inner wheel requires a steering angle of δ_i=71.321°. It can be concluded that this design can optimize the performance of the knuckle steering system.
