Abstract

Pineapple leaf fiber is a natural fiber with high cellulose content, making it a promising reinforcement for polymer composites. This study introduces novelty by systematically analyzing the effect of varying 5% NaOH alkali soaking durations (2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours) on the tensile and flexural properties of unidirectional pineapple fiber-reinforced polyester composites a range and comprehensive comparison not extensively explored previously. Composites with a 30% fiber volume fraction were fabricated using the hand lay-up method. Tensile and three-point bending tests were conducted according to ASTM D638 and D790, respectively. Results indicated that a 24-hour alkali treatment yielded the highest tensile strength of 44.82 MPa with a strain of 0.1080%, suggesting optimal fiber-matrix adhesion. Conversely, the highest flexural strength of 122 MPa and a modulus of 14,616 MPa were achieved after 16 hours of soaking. Therefore, the optimal alkali treatment duration depends on the targeted mechanical property: 24 hours for maximum tensile strength and 16 hours for optimal flexural performance. These findings aid in enhancing the mechanical properties of pineapple fiber composites through controlled alkali treatment, with potential applications in lightweight automotive panels, interior components, and sustainable construction materials where a balance between tensile and flexural properties is crucial.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan tutup bak dan deflektor angin terhadap koefisien drag (Cd) pada truk menggunakan simulasi terowongan angin. Penelitian meliputi empat konfigurasi: truk tanpa modifikasi, truk dengan tutup bak, truk dengan deflektor angin, dan kombinasi keduanya. Variabel bebas meliputi jenis modifikasi dan kecepatan angin (7 m/s, 8,5 m/s, 10 m/s), sedangkan variabel yang terikat adalah nilai koefisien drag (Cd). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi tutup bak dan deflektor angin memberikan penurunan Cd paling signifikan hingga 34% dibandingkan kondisi tanpa modifikasi, diikuti oleh penggunaan individu tutup bak (16%) dan deflektor angin (24%). Penurunan CD ini mengurangi gaya drag secara signifikan, meningkatkan efisiensi aerodinamika, serta mengurangi konsumsi bahan bakar. Dengan demikian, modifikasi ini direkomendasikan sebagai solusi praktis untuk meningkatkan efisiensi kendaraan niaga dan mendukung ekosistem.

Abstract

This study presents the design and structural verification of a compact meatball-forming machine that integrates an Arduino Uno–based operator protection system. A redesigned 500×500×1011 mm frame made of 20×20×1.5 mm hollow steel was modeled in SolidWorks 2024 and evaluated using finite element analysis (von Mises stress, displacement, strain, and safety factor) under an applied load representing a 30 kg operating condition. To reduce assembly complexity, two alternative concepts were assessed using Design for Assembly (DFA), and the most efficient configuration was selected for detailed development. The safety subsystem employs an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor facing the operator zone; when the detected distance falls below 10 cm, the controller triggers a warning indicator and enables protective control actions. The final concept achieved higher DFA efficiency (18%) than the initial concept (16%) while reducing material use and overall footprint. Structural simulations indicate a peak von Mises stress of 163.6 MPa, below the 250 MPa yield strength of ASTM A36 steel, a maximum displacement of 1.002 mm, and a minimum safety factor of 1.528, confirming adequate stiffness and margin against yielding. The proposed design combines adjustable forming via an iris mechanism with servo-driven cutting to improve process consistency while embedding real-time proximity sensing to enhance occupational safety.

Jiwa kewirausahaan berlaku untuk semua orang baik untuk mereka yang memiliki kondisi fisik normal maupun yang memiliki keterbatasan/kekurangan kondisi fisiknya yang dikatagorikan dalam disabilitas. Sektor informal menjadi bidang paling diminati oleh para penyandang disabilitas Sementara motivasi berwirausaha pada penyandang disabilitas fisik adalah untuk menafkahi keluarga, menjalin hubungan dengan orang banyak, menolong penyandang disabilitas fisik agar lebih sejahtera, adanya harga diri, dan keinginan menyetarakan dengan individu normal. Permasalahan yang timbul pada wirausaha disabilitas adalah bagaimana strategi /cara agar wirausaha mereka dalam rangka memberdayakan ekonomi dapat terus bergerak dan berkembang secara berkelanjutan. Tujuan peneltian ini adalah terciptanya wirausaha disabilitas dalam rangka memberdayakan ekonomi mereka secara berkesinambungan dan berkelanjutan. Strategi awal yang dilakukan adalah berkumpul, berdiskusi dengan mereka untuk mengetahui kebutuhan terpenting yang sangat mereka perlukan agar usaha mikro milik mereka dapat berkembang dengan baik. Untuk itu wajib negara harus hadir, artinya pemerintah lewat lintas sektoral yaitu melibatkan seluruh pemangku kepentingan untuk memberikan pelatihan-pelatihan, akses kerja serta pendampingan.
