Abstract

Our research is introducing a lighting system using dimming lamps to utilize natural sunlight to save electrical energy in campus buildings. It began with designing an LED light-dimming system using AC chopper technology. It was tested in library rooms in campus buildings. Its room is divided into three zones (A, B, C) based on the intensity of natural light reaching the room and the location of the work points. We analyzed the influence of the environment around the research object, including the location of work points, weather conditions, the position of the sun, and electrical energy saving in lighting systems using dimming LED lights in campus buildings. The test results show that implementing the proposed dimming system can reduce room electricity consumption by an average of 50.31% in good weather conditions. The location of the work point in the room dramatically influences the amount of this savings. For work point locations in zone C, these savings can reach 93.707%, while for work points in zone A, the savings are only 12.177%. The results show that the percentage of electricity consumption savings from the lighting system can be increased by increasing the natural light that reaches the room.

Abstract

This research focuses on the design, development, and optimization of the electric go-kart "E-Andalasian" as an environmentally friendly campus transportation solution. Structural analysis was performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate stress distribution and deformation under static and dynamic loads. The study also optimizes the BLDC motor, 72V 40Ah lithium battery, and controller to achieve efficient and reliable performance. Results indicate critical stress points at wheel joints, with recommendations for aluminum alloy use to enhance weight efficiency. Experimental testing showed that the motor achieved a maximum torque of 44.52 N.m and 6447 RPM, while the battery supports a range of 40 km with a charging time of 2 hours 9 minutes. Although the maximum speed reached 59 km/h, additional optimization is required to meet the original design target. The findings provide a prototype foundation for future improvements and contribute to green campus mobility.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of applying secondary skin with varying slope angles on the facade on energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort. Facades with varying slope angles are designed to respond adaptively to external environmental conditions, such as solar radiation intensity, air temperature, and wind movement, with the aim of minimizing the building's thermal load and improving overall thermal performance. An experimental approach is used to evaluate the effectiveness of secondary skin with varying slopes. The thermal comfort parameters measured include air temperature, relative humidity, lighting intensity, and energy requirements for cooling, all of which are analyzed based on ASHRAE standards. The results of the study indicate that the use of facades with opening slopes of 10°, 20°, and 30° can reduce the room cooling load by 11.05%, 10.95%, and 10.80%, respectively. In addition, there was a decrease in the average Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) value of 0.059 (5.03%) at a slope of 10°, 0.073 (6.29%) at a slope of 20°, and 0.078 (7.20%) at a slope of 30°. These findings indicate that secondary skin with variations in the slope angle of the facade is an innovative and sustainable approach in passive cooling strategies, which contributes to reducing energy consumption.

Abstract

Vehicle crashworthiness is a critical aspect of automotive safety engineering designed to minimize injury to occupants during collisions. This paper investigates the role of trigger mechanisms in enhancing crashworthiness by managing energy absorption and deformation during impact. Trigger mechanisms, including structural features like grooves, holes, or geometric discontinuities, initiate controlled deformation, optimizing energy dissipation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of crash boxes with various cross sections and six trigger designs: bead initiator, diamond notch, smaller thickness, circular notch, circular holes, and oval holes, to absorb energy of collision using computational software, MSC Dytran. The results show that a crash box with an octagonal section absorbs more energy than those with square, rectangular, or hexagonal sections. Among the introduced trigger designs, the models of bead initiator, circular notches, and circular holes were considerably the most effective in energy absorption.

Abstract

Nagari Magek Village in Agam Regency, West Sumatra, faces significant challenges in managing clean water resources. To address these challenges comprehensively, a holistic approach is essential, involving through area analysis, water treatment, and evaluation of distribution networks to ensure efficient and equitable water distribution. It is crucial to adhere to the principles of water resource conservation, utilization, and management as stipulated in Law Number 17 of 2019 on water resource management, which must be observed to ensure legal clarity in water management practices. The community service team handles clean water problems in Nagari Magek by designing a clean water treatment system that includes aeration, sedimentation, and filtration units. This process improves water quality by reducing yellowish color and eliminating unpleasant odors. However, the capacity of the treatment plant is not able to meet the increasing water demand, while the galvanized pipe distribution network has not been functioning optimally. Based on simulations using EPANET 2.2 software, it was found that the water flow speed in the pipes was still below the optimal range due to the diameter of the pipes being too large. The solution applied was to increase the processing discharge to 10 L/s (0,01 m3/s), which succeeded in increasing the flow rate according to the regulatory criteria. This recommendation improves the efficiency of the distribution system and ensures better water quality for the people in Nagari Magek.

Abstract

The manufacturing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) requires a design process that involves the design of aircraft’s components such as fuselage, wing, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, ailerons, elevators, tail, and wing. The process takes a long time. Therefore, the distribution of structural works based on their characteristics and classifications by considering their design attributes and manufacturing processes is required. This research aims to find the optimal time and critical path of the assembly process of an UAV based on product work breakdown structure (PWBS) and critical path method (CPM). The result reveals that the optimal assembly time is 139 minutes. Finally, the application of product-oriented structural work distribution and the optimization of the assembly activities involved in the critical path successfully minimize the duration of the assembly process.

Abstract

The increasing demand for seismic-resilient structures has encouraged the development of advanced energy dissipation devices capable of reducing structural damage under strong ground motions. Among various passive control systems, metallic dampers have gained significant attention due to their stable hysteretic behavior, high energy dissipation capacity, and simplicity of installation. This study investigates the seismic performance of a building structure equipped with U-shaped steel metallic dampers installed within a chevron bracing system. The research is conducted through two complementary analytical stages. First, a detailed nonlinear finite element analysis is performed to evaluate the cyclic behavior of the U-shaped damper, accounting for both material and geometric nonlinearities. The resulting hysteresis curves are used to determine the elastic stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the damper. In the second stage, the obtained mechanical properties are implemented into a dynamic numerical model of a multi-story building, where the damper is represented as spring element connecting the bracing system to the main structural frame. Linear time-history analyses are then conducted under earthquake ground motions to assess the dynamic response of the structure. The seismic performance of the damped structure is compared with that of an identical structure without metallic dampers in term of dynamic response. The results demonstrate that the proposed U-shaped metallic damper significantly enhances seismic performance by reducing structural demands and concentrating inelastic deformations within replaceable energy-dissipating components
