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

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

Climate change, driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions, significantly impacts our planet. The construction sector, a major contributor to these emissions, demands a shift towards sustainable building practices. Green infrastructure (GI) offers a promising solution by integrating environmental principles into design and construction. This research investigates the understanding, challenges, and readiness of civil engineering graduates in implementing GI. Utilizing a survey-based approach with master's students at Sangga Buana University, the study analyzed the perceptions of students from different backgrounds: Civil Engineering, Other Engineering, and Non-Engineering. Results indicate that Civil Engineering students demonstrate a higher level of awareness and understanding of GI, influenced by their curriculum's focus on sustainable infrastructure development. However, challenges such as cost constraints and limited managerial support persist. Despite these challenges, civil engineering graduates exhibit a greater readiness to embrace and implement GI concepts.
