Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review of published research on the use of areca nut bark fibres as a reinforcing material in polymer composites. A total of 22 research articles published in Scopus-indexed journals were identified and analysed in depth. In addition, this article presents current issues related to areca nut husk fibre (ANHF) as a reinforcement in composites using the VOSviewer tool. In this article, the authors explains the processing stages of ANHF before it is used as a reinforcement in composites. The chemical treatments carried out are also summarised in this article. Not all types of resins available on the market have been used as matrix in the manufacture of areca nut shell fibre composites. The use of additives derived from natural materials has also been found to be effective in improving the quality of ANHF composites. This article also highlights the need for further research to improve the quality of areca nut husk fibre composites and discusses the unanswered aspects of the published research.

Abstract

This study evaluates the static structural performance of a Prototype-class energy-efficient vehicle chassis for the Indonesian Kontes Mobil Hemat Energi (KMHE; Energy-Efficient Car Competition) by comparing two material options, AISI 1020 carbon steel and Al 6061-T6, under a consistent load representation. Three-dimensional chassis models were developed in SolidWorks and assessed using static finite element analysis (FEA). The loading scenario included gravitational body force and two concentrated static loads representing operational conditions: 700 N applied at the driver seat region and 300 N applied at the engine mounting area. A curvature-based meshing strategy was adopted, with element sizes ranging from 1.6 to 8 mm, resulting in approximately 1,700,093 nodes to capture geometric details in joints and curved members. The AISI 1020 chassis produced a maximum von Mises stress of 278.6 MPa concentrated near the engine mounting joint, a maximum total deformation of 2.1 mm in the roll-bar region, and a minimum factor of safety of 1.3. In contrast, the Al 6061-T6 chassis exhibited a lower peak stress of 61 MPa at the rear wheel mounting region, a higher deformation of 3.4 mm at the roll bar, and a factor of safety of 4.5. The findings confirm a trade-off between stiffness and safety margin: steel offers higher stiffness but an insufficient safety margin, while aluminium significantly improves the static safety margin with increased deformation. These results provide design guidance for reinforcing critical regions and enhancing the robustness of competition-ready chassis.
