Abstract

ABSTRACT Randu (Ceiba pentandra (L) Gaertn.) wood is one of the fast-growing species which has low density. Wood modification by microwave (MW) treatment were conducted to improve its quality. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of microwave treatment on the characteristics (physical properties, wood discoloration, and wettability) of Randu wood. Microwave treatment for 0.5 and 1 minute were applied for Randu wood. The evaluation of wood discoloration, wettability, and physical properties include moisture content, specific gravity, swelling, and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were measured.  Wood discoloration and wettability of untreated and treated sample were measured. The results showed that microwave treatment was reduce the swelling, wettability and cause discoloration. Microwave treatment not significantly affected moisture content and specific gravity of treated wood. Microwave treatment increased contact angle than untreated, and 0.5 minutes microwave treatment caused significant discoloration than 1 minutes microwave treatment and untreated sample. The MW treatment indicated to increase the hydrophobicity of Randu wood.   Keywords: discoloration, microwave, randu, wettability.   ABSTRAK Kayu randu (Ceiba pentandra (L) Gaertn.) merupakan salah satu jenis kayu cepat tumbuh yang memiliki kerapatan rendah. Modifikasi kayu dengan perlakuan microwave (MW) dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitasnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh perlakuan microwave terhadap karakteristik (sifat fisik, perubahan warna kayu, dan keterbasahan) kayu Randu. Perlakuan microwave selama 0.5 dan 1 menit diaplikasikan pada kayu randu. Pengujian yang dilakukan yaitu perubahan warna kayu, keterbasahan, dan sifat fisis yang meliputi kadar air, berat jenis, pengembangan, dan anti-swelling efficiency (ASE). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan microwave mengurangi pengembangan, keterbasahan dan menyebabkan perubahan warna. Perlakuan microwave tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar air dan berat jenis kayu. Perlakuan gelombang mikro meningkatkan sudut kontak dibanding kontrol, dan perlakuan microwave 0.5 menit menyebabkan perubahan warna yang signifikan dibanding microwave 1 menit dan tanpa perlakuan. Perlakuan MW dapat meningkatkan hidrofobisitas kayu randu.  Katakunci: keterbasahan, microwave, randu, perubahan warna.

Abstract

An ergonomic work environment requires furniture to be compatible with the dimensions of the user's body in order to avoid musculoskeletal complaints and decreased productivity. A data-driven anthropometric design approach combined with structural simulation is a strategy to ensure both comfort and strength of the product. This study applies the Finite Element Method (FEM) to analyze the strength of a work table with a hole-and-groove construction before mass production. A combination of mahogany and plywood was chosen for cost efficiency, while the strength of the joints between components was the main focus of the evaluation. The simulation process included 3D modeling, material selection, boundary condition determination, loading in accordance with SNI 8781-2019, meshing, and analysis of results. The desk measured 1200×600×750 mm with four fixed support points on the legs. The results showed good structural performance in all tests. Stability and vertical strength tests showed that the stress and displacement were below the elastic limit of the material. Fatigue tests showed a damage level of only 1 percent, while drop tests resulted in a displacement of 1.55 mm without permanent deformation. Overall, the table design was deemed safe, stable, and suitable for production.

Abstract

This study presents the design and structural validation of an ergonomic student chair using locally sourced Indonesian wood species. The research integrates anthropometric analysis, computer-aided design, and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations to ensure both comfort and mechanical reliability. Anthropometric data from Indonesian students determined key seating dimensions, while FEM analysis evaluated structural performance under static loading conditions. Four wood species—teak (Tectona grandis), mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), pine (Pinus merkusii), and sonokeling (Dalbergia latifolia)—were compared based on stress distribution, total deformation, and factor of safety (FoS). All materials satisfied the minimum safety factor of 1.5, confirming adequate strength for classroom use. Sonokeling achieved the highest FoS (2.47), while pine offered the best efficiency index (22.6) when performance was normalized by cost. The results demonstrate that locally available wood can provide safe, ergonomic, and economically feasible alternatives to imported materials. This integrated ergonomic–engineering approach supports sustainable, affordable, and human-centered furniture design for educational environments.
