Abstract

The need to develop protective systems to protect against attacks from various sources is increasingly becoming a personal, social and national security issue. To develop innovative armor systems, it is necessary to monitor the developments made on the types, technology and performance of threats (weapons, projectiles, explosives, etc.) In particular, the use of helmets of a high level of protection on the battlefield is essential. Therefore, the development of evaluation methods that can predict injury and trauma is very important. However, the risk of injury or trauma that may result from induced acceleration is an additional consideration. To develop new materials and layouts for helmets, it is necessary to study the impacts caused by ballistic impacts on the human head in various scenarios. Composite materials in military applications have proven to be superior to metal materials, in increasing the mobility of Force personnel. The use of composite materials in military helmets is very important in relation to the speed of incoming bullets, one of which is made from thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. Particle composite material composed of Bisphenol A epoxy resin matrix and reinforcement in the form of Javanese jute fiber which is applied to bulletproof helmets. When using this composite, you can determine the number of sheets of Javanese jute fiber that is effective against the force of the bullet fired, this is to support the safety of its use.

Abstract

 In the industrial world, to extend the service life of materials, protection methods are carried out to slow down the material's corrosion rate. The protection method that is often used is the coating method. The coating method is a protection method by coating the substrate material using a coating material to prevent contact between the substrate material and the environment. In this research, the substrate material used is ASTM A36 steel and the coating material used is Surface Tolerant Epoxy paint. The independent variable used in this study lies in the surface preparation method which consists of: solvent cleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool cleaning, power tool to bare metal cleaning, and abrasive blast cleaning. Different preparation methods result in different roughness and cleanliness of the surface. This can affect changes in the mechanical properties of the coating material, such as corrosion resistance and adhesion strength. Based on the corrosion resistance test, it is found that the  abrasive blast cleaning and power tool to bare metal cleaning methods produce the highest corrosion resistance properties because both have a rating number of 8 in the salt spray test results. Based on the adhesion strength test, it is found that the abrasive blast cleaning method also produces the highest adhesion strength. This conclusion refers to the results of the tape x-cut test where the sample produces a rating number 5A where the sample does not experience peeling after testing. In addition, the abrasive blast cleaning method produced the highest adhesion strength in the pull-off test, which was 7.16 Mpa. Thus, the abrasive blast cleaning method is the most effective surface preparation method for ASTM A36 steel before being coated with the coating material. In addition, it can also be concluded that the higher the surface roughness of the sample, the better the corrosion resistance and adhesion strength.

Abstract

Currently, the development of science and technology is developing very quickly. One technology that is currently developing rapidly is unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). This technology is believed to be a new breakthrough in the modern era because it minimizes human involvement in its operation. This increases effectiveness and reduces risk management in the operational field. Especially in the vast territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia with diverse natural landscapes, UAV are considered very helpful as a means of defense and security equipment (alpahankam) in espionage. With these geographical conditions, to carry out its mission, a UAV requires a battery as the driving force. However, in general, the most widely used battery is the lithium-ion (Li-ion) type. It is known that there are several problems with Li-ion batteries, including not being able to withstand heat, being prone to exploding, and if the battery has a large capacity, the size of the battery must be large. Considering this situation, a study is needed to examine several alternative types of batteries, namely: lithium-air (Li-air) and lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. This article aims to compare the performance of lithium-air batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries which can later replace the use of lithium-ion batteries which are currently widely used in UAVs. The method used in writing this article is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by searching, collecting and evaluating several sources related to the research object. From a comparison of the three batteries, Li-S batteries offer a large specific energy compared to Li-air and Li-ion batteries. Li-S batteries are currently receiving more attention so they are expected to move towards mass use more quickly. The results of this literature are that Li-S batteries have an energy density of 2,500Wh/kg and have exceeded the energy density of Li-ion batteries of 890Wh/kg and Li-air batteries of 250-1,200Wh/kg. Energy density determines how much energy can be accommodated in a cell of the same size. Thus, it is hoped that Li-S batteries will be a solution to problems with UAV batteries.

Abstract

The performance analysis of a 1 kWp off-grid Solar Power Plant (SPP) located on the terrace of the Energy Laboratory Building at Jakarta Polytechnic was conducted to determine the SPP's performance. The analysis involved comparing the design data with the actual installed system conditions. The methodology employed manual calculation of the SPP's power generation and simulation of its performance using PVSyst software. The analysis results indicated that the current performance ratio of the SPP is only 11%, primarily due to the low direct utilization of solar energy. A recommendation provided is to increase the load on the SPP system. Simulations conducted on the recommended load increase demonstrated a significant improvement in the performance ratio, with a value of 58%.

Abstract

Metal casting can influence the mechanical properties and materials’s microstructure such as aluminum. The mechanical properties, strength, and microstructural form are affected by the solidification process during casting. These changes occur due to the cooling media used in the solidification process. The mechanical properties of metals, especially material strength, are crucial in today's manufacturing industry. This research investigates various cooling media in the casting process, including air, radiator coolant, and oil. Tensile tests and microstructural analysis were conducted to determine the mechanical properties and grain structure of the castings. The tensile testing showed that the highest tensile strength was achieved with radiator coolant at 146.305 MPa, followed by oil at 141.297 MPa, and the lowest with air at 131.431 MPa. Microstructural analysis revealed that the finest grains were obtained with oil cooling, while the largest grains were observed with air cooling.
