Abstract

Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk menerapkan teknologi traktor tangan bertenaga listrik yang dapat membantu meningkatkan efisiensi dan produktivitas pada pengelolaan lahan pertanian. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan fabrikasi komponen mekanik dan elektrik dari traktor tangan bertenaga listrik. Fabrikasi tersebut meliputi pembuatan komponen mekanis seperti frame, cage wheel, under cover, battery and controller cover, motor mount, dan leveler, serta pembuatan komponen electric power train seperti electric motor, controller, battery pack, dan sprocket serta chain. Pembuatan traktor tangan bertenaga listrik dilakukan di workshop mobil listrik Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), kemudian produk diuji coba di lahan pertanian yang ada di desa Wanar, Lamongan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa traktor tangan bertenaga listrik ini memiliki performa yang baik dan mampu menghemat biaya pengelolaan lahan pertanian dengan signifikan. Dengan menggunakan teknologi ini, petani dapat mengurangi biaya operasional seperti penggunaan bahan bakar, perawatan mesin, dan penggantian suku cadang. Oleh karena itu, disarankan untuk terus melakukan pengembangan dan penelitian lebih lanjut dalam penggunaan traktor tangan bertenaga listrik sebagai alternatif pengelolaan lahan pertanian yang efisien dan ramah lingkungan.

Abstract

This research aimed to reduce the mass of a racing car upright made from Aluminum Alloy 7075-T6 through topology optimization and fatigue life analysis. The design process included stages of meeting over-design conditions, optimizing mass reduction for the uprights, and smoothing critical areas. Finite element simulation was used throughout to analyze strength and fatigue life, considering loading conditions, geometry, and material properties. Special attention was given to critical areas to ensure optimized stress distribution and minimize stress concentration. The results showed that extreme loading conditions occur during braking while turning. The optimization process followed boundary conditions and design requirements, resulting in a 56% mass reduction from 944.39 grams to 416.43 grams while maintaining structural integrity. The optimized design featured a larger fillet radius, reducing stress concentration in critical areas and lowering the maximum stress value. The final design demonstrated a smoother structure with reduced stress concentrations, confirming the effectiveness of the optimization.

Abstract

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials, commonly used for industrial axial flow fan blades due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, are environmentally criticized for their non-biodegradability. This concern has prompted the investigation of eco-friendly alternatives, such as sisal and kenaf as natural fibers. Although they generally have lower mechanical properties than synthetic fibers, they offer advantages in terms of biodegradability, cost, and density. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of partially substituting glass fiber with unidirectional natural fibers kenaf and sisal in a 14-layer GFRP axial fan blade through numerical simulation. The research employed a finite element method (FEM) to simulate tensile testing in accordance with ASTM D-638 standards. Several hybrid layer configurations were analyzed, focusing on the number and position of natural fiber layers replacing glass fiber, particularly the glass roving (GR) layers. The simulation investigated how these substitutions influence the overall tensile stress and elastic modulus of the composite blade structure. The findings suggest that this substitution does not significantly affect tensile characteristics but substantially improves the biodegradability of the composite, resulting in a more environmentally friendly material without compromising mechanical performance.

Abstract

Salah satu kendala utama yang dihadapi oleh UMKM adalah keterbatasan teknologi dan peralatan yang memadai. Banyak pengusaha kecil masih menggunakan cara manual dalam proses produksi, yang tentunya akan memakan waktu lama dan tenaga lebih besar. Selain itu, kualitas produk yang dihasilkan sering kali tidak konsisten, karena bergantung pada keterampilan pekerja dan alat-alat sederhana. Hal ini mengakibatkan terhambatnya kemampuan UMKM untuk meningkatkan skala produksi dan bersaing dengan perusahaan yang lebih besar. UMKM yang menjadi sasaran dalam rancangan kegiatan abmas ini adalah UMKM yang melibatkan proses pencampuran bahan dalam menjalankan usahanya. Contoh UMKM yang menjadi sasaran utama dalam abmas ini adalah UMKM yang bergerak pada bidang konstruksi level menengah ke bawah yang memerlukan bantuan alat pengaduk cat, UMKM yang memproduksi sabun cair, UMKM yang memproduksi lem perekat, hingga UMKM yang memproduksi makanan seperti kerupuk puli bawang, roti, donat yang notabene memerlukan proses pencampuran bahan. Pada Abmas dan KKN ini tim telah berhasil merancang 3 alat mixer untuk pencampuran bahan dan mendistribusikan kepada UMKM yang membutuhkan melalui kerja sama dengan Dinas Koperasi, UKM, dan Tenaga Kerja Kota Blitar.

Abstract

This study presents a participatory, risk-based validation framework for a manually actuated standing wheelchair. The standing function offers both physical and psychosocial benefits, including greater independence, improved social interaction, and better access to vertical space. However, adoption of such devices remains limited, especially in low-resource settings, due to concerns about usability, comfort, and safety. Rather than emphasizing technical novelty, the contribution of this study lies in applying a user-centered risk-matrix approach to systematically translate stakeholder concerns into design priorities. Through engagement with eight stakeholders, including direct users and institutional representatives, the study collected qualitative feedback on user experience. This feedback was organized into eight thematic risk categories. Among them, stability during transitions and the level of physical effort required were identified as the most pressing concerns. Each risk type was then evaluated using a qualitative 5×5 matrix to assess its likelihood and potential impact. This structured process enabled the design team to prioritize and implement targeted improvements, effectively reducing the likelihood of tipping-related risks. However, physical accessibility, particularly for users with limited upper-body strength, remained a high, unmitigated risk due to inherent limitations of manual operation. The study highlights the importance of integrating structured risk analysis with real user input to inform assistive technology development that is not only functional, but also contextually responsive.
