Abstract

The course seeks to enhance educators' competencies in creating customized learning experiences with digital interactive technologies, namely platforms like Wordwall and Quizizz. The event occurred on February 11, 2025, in the Bekasi region, involving high school and vocational school educators. The training materials encompassed the concept of diversified learning, an introduction to the Wordwall and Quizizz platforms, and exercises for developing interactive media that align with suitable teaching methodologies. The activity's outcomes demonstrated a notable enhancement in instructors' competencies in the creative and contextual utilization of digital media, alongside heightened understanding of the need of adaptive learning services tailored to student needs. This initiative enhances the transformation of digital education at the secondary school level.

Abstract

A wrist splint is a medical assistive device designed to limit wrist movement and provide structural support during post-operative rehabilitation. This study investigates the applicability of 3D printing technology for the fabrication of a customized wrist splint. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out to evaluate the mechanical performance of a nylon-based 3D-printed wrist splint, while a user assessment involving ten respondents was conducted to compare the 3D-printed prototype with the commercially available alternatives. The analysis revealed that the 3D-printed nylon splint could sustain loads well above the maximum force generated by human muscles, with normal and von-Mises stresses representing only 5.25% and 7.9% of the material’s ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and maximum flexural stress corresponding to merely 1.4% of its ultimate flexural strength (UFS). Based on user assessment, the 3D-printed splint outperformed commercial ones in terms of lightness, comfort, functionality, and stiffness, though it was less favorable in price and ease of use. Additionally, the findings indicate that the nylon-based 3D-printed wrist splint adequately satisfies the fundamental functional requirements of a wrist support device. Eventually, the results affirm the significant potential of 3D printing technology as a reliable and customizable manufacturing approach for wrist splint application.

Abstract

The limited build volume of fused deposition modeling (FDM) often necessitates the use of joining methods for larger components. However, the effectiveness of interlocking features in the RFW of 3D-printed polymers remains unclear. This study investigates the limitations of interlocking features in RFW of polylactic acid (PLA) by evaluating the effect of male-female geometry on the joint performance. The results show that all interlocked RFW joints exhibit significantly reduced tensile strength, reaching only approximately 30% of the control samples, accompanied by decreased ductility. Despite variations in the interlock geometry, no significant improvement in joint performance was observed. Failure analysis indicates that the excessive weld flash accumulation within the interlocking region generates internal pressure, which restricts material flow and promotes crack initiation. This leads to localized plastic deformation followed by brittle failure at the joint interface. These findings demonstrate that the interlocking geometry does not necessarily enhance joint quality in RFW of 3D-printed PLA and may introduce inherent limitations if not properly designed. This study highlights the critical role of material flow and geometric constraints in governing joint performance, emphasizing the need for optimized interlock design and process control in thermoplastic friction welding.

Abstract

Conventional organic waste chopping machines predominantly utilize horizontal shaft configurations, which are highly susceptible to asymmetric load distribution and present ergonomic challenges during maintenance. As an innovative solution, this study presents the conceptual design of a vertical-shaft chopping machine integrated with a hydraulic-actuated top-head system to enhance the efficiency of particle size reduction. The scope of this research is strictly confined to theoretical mathematical modeling and numerical simulations. The design process complies with the ASME B106.1M standard for transmission shafts and EN 13683 for operational safety parameters, excluding experimental fabrication. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on three primary materials—Mild Steel (MS), Stainless Steel 304 (SS 304), and Stainless Steel 316L (SS 316L)—under fluctuating waste loads ranging from 10 kg to 35 kg. The analytical results demonstrate several crucial findings: the minimum safe shaft diameter ranges from 16 mm (utilizing SS 316L at a 10 kg load) to 28 mm (utilizing MS and SS 304 at a 35 kg load). Furthermore, the agitator's power requirement exhibits a strictly linear increase corresponding to the applied load (from 1.34 kW to 4.68 kW), whereas the hydraulic system operates efficiently with a constant power profile of 0.25 kW. Overall, the vertical shaft configuration significantly promotes symmetrical force distribution, while the hydraulic system ensures safe and immediate access to the chopping chamber. The proposed design demonstrates substantial structural, operational, and ergonomic advantages, establishing a robust theoretical foundation for future development and experimental fabrication.
