Abstract

This study focuses on the technical and cost analysis of an electric hand plow tractor, especially in the East Java region. The manufacturing cost of electric tractors increases significantly in line with the battery capacity. Although the manufacturing cost of an electric tractor is 3–5 times higher than that of a fuel tractor, the operational cost of an electric tractor is about 79% that of a fuel tractor. Based on the investment analysis, it is feasible to assembly electric tractors with a power of 5.5 HP or 4.1 kW using NMC18650 and NMC21700 batteries with an energy capacity of 14 kWh in case for rural residents with access to an electricity network available in their paddy fields. The price of electricity and the unit cost of a battery pack have a large impact on operational costs. The manufacture of electric tractors will be more attractive to get better economic returns when the price of electricity does not increase, and the unit cost of battery packs falls due to the battery technology trend. Nevertheless, certain challenges to the utilization of electric tractors are the farmers' preferences and habits, market demands, the environment, and the regulations of the tractor component manufacturers.

Abstract

Nowadays, the demand for workers in the agriculture industry has decreased and there is a need for rising mechanization in the agriculture process. The agriculture process that requires mechanization is cultivating. The rice cultivator has to be as light as possible, so requires a lighter material but is also strong enough. The correlation between the rice transplanter tool and the wheels is closely related to soil conditions. The selection of wheel materials is considered based on the characteristics of the planting area. In addition, another influence variable is the angle of the fin in the rice transplanter wheel. Material of rice transplanter wheel has been established, these are 1023 carbon steel sheet, AISI 1020 steel cold rolled, AISI 316 stainless steel. The angle of the fin was varied, these are 30, 35, and 40, this fin will give an effect on the traction result of rice transplanter wheel movement. The combination of lightweight material and the appropriate fin angle of the rice transplanter wheel has the best traction result. As a result of this research, the suitable material for the rice transplanter wheel was carbon steel and the fin’s angle was 30. This research involved a comparison and analysis of material strength under various fin angles. The evaluation of stress criteria was conducted using design values to determine the most reliable final product design. The paper contributes by illustrating how to represent the final decision on the combination of design and materials, incorporating a cost index assessment.

Abstract

In this study, a dynamic impact loading using Finite Element Analyses (FEA) was applied to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) composite skin panel. Two types of boundary condition panels were investigated (Fixed and Pinned). The composite UAV skin panel consists of upper panel and stiffener which have a thickness of 3 mm and 2 mm, respectively. The material properties used in this study was referring to Hexcel W3G282-F593 technical data sheet. A hemispherical steel indenter with 70 mm diameter and 120 kg of mass was used to crush the panel with a velocity of 4.43 m/s. The finite element analyses were performed using dynamic explicit solver in ABAQUS 6.23. At the beginning of study, the mesh convergence study was conducted to choose the proper mesh for main analysis. The convergence study was simulated using 20 kg mass to shorten computational time. The mesh size of 10 mm was chosen for the main analysis due to convergent result and short computational time compared to others mesh size. The impact deformation, contact force-displacement plot, and contact force-time plot was used to show the differences of using those boundary condition. The results show that fixed and pinned boundary condition reaches its contact force peak with the value of 29.2 kN and 22.8 kN, respectively.
