Abstract

Silage is a method of providing cow feed that requires a forage chopping process so that it is easy to ferment and has a longer shelf life. However, most breeders still do the enumeration manually, so it takes a long time and the size of the enumeration is not uniform. Therefore, this study aims to design an elephant grass chopper with dual input and output funnels, equipped with a knife and a beater to speed up cutting and crush harder materials. This machine is expected to be able to produce a uniform size of 2–5 cm according to the SNI 7785.1:2003 standard This research method uses a 4D Research and Development (R&D) model to design and test a elephant grass chopper. The stages include literature review, design, machine construction and assembly, and then functional testing using elephant grass as the test material in three trials. The test data is analyzed to assess the machine's performance and feasibility. The results of the study show that the designed elephant grass chopper can operate well. Based on the function test at 1500 rpm with a test material load of 5 kg, the machine produces a chopping size of 2–5 cm with a working capacity of 92 kg/hour, so it is considered suitable for use to support the process of making silage for cattle feed and increase efficiency compared to manual methods.

Abstract

Environmental influences can cause corrosion or damage to materials, which is why paint coating is used to protect them. Some of the factors that affect the quality of the paint are technical, such as setting the air pressure and spray gun nozzle spacing. The experimental research aims to determine how air pressures of 1.5, 2, and 2.5 bar and nozzle spacings of 10–15–20 cm affect the gloss and thickness of the water-based paint layer. A gravity-feed spray gun was used for this purpose. The luster test method uses an AMTAST AMN60 glossmeter with the ASTM D523-08 standard, and the thickness test uses a coating thickness gauge with the ASTM E 376-96 standard. The air pressure and the distance of the spray gun nozzle affect the gloss and thickness of the paint layer. Parameter 2 bar/15 cm yielded the highest gloss of 92.77 GU, while parameter 2.5 bar/10 cm resulted in the highest coating thickness of 0.26 mm.

Abstract

A motorcycle steering shaft is subjected to torsional loads during vehicle steering; therefore, it requires a lightweight material with adequate mechanical strength. This study aimed to analyze the effect of carbon fiber orientation on the torsional strength of hollow cylindrical composite specimens fabricated using the vacuum infusion method. The specimens were manufactured from 3K 240 gsm twill carbon fiber and epoxy resin with 11 layers and fiber orientation variations of 0°, 45°, and 90°. The specimen geometry was based on a 1:2 scale model of the Honda Vario 125 steering shaft, with an outer diameter of 16.5 mm, an inner diameter of 11 mm, and a total length of 200 mm. Static torsion testing was conducted, and the experimental data were processed to determine the maximum torque, maximum shear stress, and shear modulus. The results showed that the 45° fiber orientation provided the best torsional strength, with an average maximum torque of 35.31 N·m and an average maximum shear stress of 49.89 MPa. Therefore, the 45° fiber orientation produced the highest maximum torsional strength among the tested orientation variations under laboratory conditions.

Abstract

This study examines how the blade angle of an elephant grass chopping machine affects the chopping results used for making cattle feed silage. Elephant grass needs to be chopped to a standard size for silage production, with the ideal chop length ranging from 2–5 cm and relatively uniform, so that the fermentation process runs properly and the feed is easier for livestock to consume. The research was conducted using an experimental method with 1 kg of fresh elephant grass for each trial. The chopped output was classified into three size categories: <2 cm, 2–5 cm, and >5 cm, to determine which met the silage standard most effectively. The study tested three blade angles—30°, 45°, and 60°—and three machine rotational speeds (1700 rpm, 2000 rpm, and 2300 rpm) to evaluate their effects on chopping time, cut size distribution, and processing capacity. The results show that the best performance in terms of machine rotational speed at the 30° blade angle occurred at 2300 rpm. The highest percentage of chopped material within the 2–5 cm size range was obtained at a 45° blade angle, reaching approximately 55–58% of the total chopped output, indicating the most optimal conformity with silage size standards.

Abstract

The development of automotive technology has increased the need for lightweight materials with high mechanical strength and good impact resistance. Motorcycle fenders commonly use conventional plastic materials such as Polypropylene (PP) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), which have relatively low impact resistance, approximately 0.0605 J/mm² for impact value and 2.42 Joules for impact energy. Therefore, alternative materials with better mechanical properties are required. Carbon fiber composites are considered a promising alternative due to their lightweight characteristics, high strength, and excellent resistance to impact loads. This study aims to analyze the effect of epoxy and polyester resin matrix variations on the impact strength of carbon fiber composites based on ASTM D6110 standards. This research employed an experimental method using the vacuum infusion fabrication technique. The research stages included preparation of tools and materials, mold preparation, arrangement of 15 layers of carbon fiber, resin infusion, curing process, specimen cutting, V-notch fabrication according to ASTM D6110, and Charpy impact testing. The resin matrix variations used were Eposchon 1011 A Epoxy Resin, AM-8927 Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin, Yukalac 157 BQTN-EX Series Polyester Resin, and Eterset 2728-PC Unsaturated Polyester Resin. The specimens were prepared with dimensions of 126 mm × 12.7 mm and thicknesses ranging from 3–12.7 mm according to ASTM D6110 standards. The results showed that resin type significantly affected the impact energy and impact value of carbon fiber composites. The AM-8927 Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin produced the highest average impact energy of 14.97 Joules and the highest impact value of 0.3000 J/mm². These values were considerably higher than those of conventional PP/ABS motorcycle fender materials. The findings indicate that carbon fiber composites with epoxy resin matrices have strong potential as alternative motorcycle fender materials with improved resistance to impact loading.

Abstract

Carbon fiber sandwich composites are lightweight materials with high potential for structural applications because they offer a good combination of strength and stiffness. However, their mechanical properties and durability are influenced by the fabrication methods used. This study aims to analyze the effects of the hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, and hybrid vacuum infusion–hand lay-up methods on the impact strength of carbon fiber sandwich composites with a Lantor Coremat core. The study employed an experimental method with a quantitative approach. Specimens were fabricated using carbon fiber, epoxy resin, and Lantor Coremat, and then tested using the Charpy impact method in accordance with ASTM D6110. The data obtained consisted of impact energy (EI) and impact value (HI), which were subsequently analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistics based on the average values for each fabrication method variation. The research results show that the hybrid method produced the highest impact resistance, with an average impact energy of 7.50 J and an impact value of 0.157 J/mm², followed by the vacuum infusion method at 5.35 J and 0.113 J/mm², and the hand lay-up method at 2.22 J and 0.047 J/mm². These results indicate that combining the vacuum infusion and hand lay-up processes improves resin impregnation quality and reduces internal defects in the composite. Thus, the hybrid method has the potential to serve as an effective fabrication alternative for producing sandwich composites with improved impact resistance for engineering applications requiring lightweight yet strong material.

Abstract

Sandwich composites featuring carbon fiber skins and a cork core are lightweight materials with the potential to replace metals due to their high mechanical strength and eco-friendliness. This study aims to analyze the effect of varying the number of carbon fiber skin layers on the bending strength and failure modes of the sandwich composite. Specimens were fabricated using the vacuum infusion method with skin configurations of 4, 6, and 8 layers and tested via the three-point bending method in accordance with ASTM C393 standards. The results indicate that increasing the number of skin layers enhances the maximum bending load and core shear stress. The 8-layer configuration yielded the highest maximum bending load (66.47 kg) and core shear stress (0.769 MPa), whereas the highest face bending stress (294.62 MPa) was observed in the 4-layer configuration. Face yielding was the dominant failure mode across all specimens. The findings demonstrate that the number of skin layers influences the bending strength characteristics of carbon fiber/cork core sandwich composites.
