Abstract

The diverse functions of buildings today require designs that minimize potential damage, particularly from natural disasters. Earthquakes are one of the natural disasters that pose a significant threat to buildings. For example, the earthquake that occurred in Yogyakarta in 2023 caused damage to various building facilities. This study aims to identify the vulnerability level of buildings using microtremor data to obtain the natural frequency value of the building (fb), building resonance index (R), and building vulnerability index (Kb). This research has been carried out in multi-storey buildings by measuring natural frequencies on the building and its basic land. The recorded vibration data were analyzed with the H / V technique to get its natural frequency value. The measurement results of building floor vibrations using the GPL-6A3P accelerometer show that the natural frequency

Abstract

The welding process is a metal joining method that utilizes high heat energy, which can trigger changes in the microstructure, deformation, and the emergence of residual stress in the area around the joint. This study aims to examine the impact of variations in heat input in the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process on the microstructure and toughness of SM 490 steel, especially in the weld area and heat-affected zone (HAZ). The SAW method was chosen because it has high efficiency, is easy to automate, and is able to produce good quality joints. This study used three levels of heat input, namely 2.1 kJ/mm, 3.16 kJ/mm, and 4.3 kJ/mm. Based on the test results, increasing heat input causes slower cooling, which affects the formation of microstructures such as ferrite at the grain boundary, acicular ferrite, Widmanstätten ferrite, bainite, and martensite. Acicular ferrite with fine size and interlocking pattern is known to contribute to increasing the toughness of welded joints. The maximum toughness in the weld zone, amounting to 117 Joules, was achieved at a heat input of 3.16 kJ/mm with a test temperature of 0°C. Meanwhile, the best toughness value in the HAZ of 17.5 Joules was recorded at a heat input of 2.1 kJ/mm at a temperature of -20°C. The results of this study confirm that appropriate heat input settings are very important to obtain optimal microstructure and toughness in welding SM 490 steel using the SAW method

Abstract

Welding is one of the most commonly used metal joining processes in the manufacturing and construction industries. However, this process often results in defects in the weld joint, especially in manual welding of carbon steel, which can affect the quality and strength of the joint. This study aims to analyze the types of welding defects that occur in manual welding of carbon steel, identify their main causes, and provide technical solutions to minimize such defects. The methods used include visual inspection, penetrant testing (PT), and macrostructure examination of the welded joints. The results show that the most common defects found are porosity, undercut, incomplete fusion, and slag inclusion. The primary causes of these defects include improper welding parameter settings, inadequate cleanliness of the metal surface, and the skill level of the operator. As solutions, it is recommended to conduct regular operator training, adjust current and voltage according to the type of electrode used, and ensure proper surface preparation before welding. This study is expected to serve as a reference for industry practitioners in improving the quality of carbon steel weld joints

Abstract

This study reviews and analyzes vertical vibrations in the suspension system of passenger vehicles, focusing on the McPherson strut configuration. By synthesizing findings from previous experimental research employing vibration test benches like the UKA-3.5E, the dynamic response of suspensions under varying frequencies and tire inflation pressures is examined. Results indicate that tire pressure significantly influences vibration amplitude and duration, aligning with theories that model tire stiffness as a parallel spring element affecting overall suspension dynamics. The analysis also highlights the effectiveness of multi-sensor approaches, including proximity sensors and load cells, in capturing real-time vibrational behavior. Understanding these relationships is vital for optimizing suspension performance and developing strategies to reduce vibrations, thereby improving vehicle stability, occupant comfort, and safety.

Abstract

Galvanic corrosion is a form of material degradation that occurs due to the electrochemical potential difference between two dissimilar metals in contact within an electrolytic environment. This study aims to simulate galvanic interactions between various alloy metal combinations under acidic conditions, with the objective of identifying the metal pairs most susceptible to corrosion and evaluating the resulting corrosion rates. The simulation was carried out using a numerical approach based on finite element method (FEM)-based software, which enables detailed visualization of galvanic current distribution and electrochemical potential mapping. The simulation results indicate that metal combinations with greater electrochemical potential differences exhibit significantly higher corrosion rates, particularly affecting the metal acting as the anode. Furthermore, the acidity level (pH) of the environment was found to have a direct impact on the intensity of the corrosion process. This study provides a scientific foundation for safer material selection in structural design and mechanical systems operating in aggressive environments, and offers initial recommendations for mitigating galvanic corrosion.

Abstract

Corrosion in steel fuel tanks is a common problem that can impair engine performance. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-cost restoration method on a severely corroded motorcycle tank. The methodology employed was a case study with a sequential application: a 72-hour immersion in a hydrochloric acid-based cleaner (Harpic) to dissolve iron oxides, followed by the application of a water-displacing corrosion inhibitor (WD-40) as a temporary protectant. Effectiveness was evaluated through comparative visual inspection at each stage of the process. The observational results show that this method successfully removed the majority of corrosion products (rust) and restored the base metal surface. The application of the corrosion inhibitor proved effective in preventing the occurrence of flash rust over a one-week observation period. With a total cost of approximately $9.50 USD, this method offers 90%+ cost savings compared to tank replacement. It is concluded that this combination of commercial products offers a functional and affordable solution for short-term restoration and protection, with the key caveats that the evaluation is qualitative and the protection is not permanent.
