Abstract

The Motion Capture System (MCS) is a series of steps involving the capture, processing, and mapping of human, animal, or object movements into virtual characters. This process includes motion recording, data processing with computers, and mapping the results into digital models. This article discusses the use of MCS for realistically reconstructing and simulating behavior, which is valuable in various applications such as entertainment, animation, computer games, sports, and rehabilitation. MCS faces challenges in accurately capturing the diversity and complexity of body movements, requiring advanced hardware and software. Unreal Engine, a development platform known for its ability to produce high-quality graphics and realistic physics systems, is often used to integrate MCS. The MPU9250 sensor, a 9-axis inertial sensor combining an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer, is used in this project to detect linear motion, rotation, and orientation with high accuracy. This research aims to develop an MCS program based on Unreal Engine using the MPU9250 sensor and the UDP protocol, with the Wemos D1 Mini as the client module to process and transmit sensor data via Wi-Fi. This process involves collecting sensor data, transmitting data via UDP, and processing the data in Unreal Engine to control the movement of objects or characters. Sensor calibration is performed to obtain accurate reference values, and the collected data is used to calculate pitch, roll, and yaw values. This data is then sent to Unreal Engine to display animations corresponding to human movements. Testing shows that the generated movements align with those demonstrated, although there are minor acceptable errors. This research highlights the importance of combining sensor technology and software to produce an accurate and responsive motion control system, providing an interactive and realistic user experience.

Abstract

Furnace in oil companies is functioned to heat raw oil in process to produce various fuels, and outlet gas from the furnace is used for heating water in Furnace Boiler. Failure took place on tubes of Furnace Boiler. The purpose of this failure analysis is to find the root cause of failure. Methods conducted in this failure analysis are through examination and testing of fractography, metallography, chemical composition, hardness, and bulging measurement. Examination on the fracture surface by fractographic method revealed leakage due to excessive bulging and existence of excessive deposit/scale. Condition of bulging gave indication of long-term overheating due to excessive deposit/scale. Examination by metallographic method revealed that microstructure of ferrite and pearlite having grain growth due to exposed by local heating. However, result of chemical composition examination and hardness test showed that material of the furnace tubes were in accordance with ASTM A-192. Bulging measurement gave indication of excessive bulging up to 15% for the leaked tube. Therefore, failure of leaked tube of Furnace Boiler was caused by long-term overheating due to excessive deposit/scale which were formed in the location of bulging.

Abstract

Lingkungan kerja yang nyaman dan aman menjadi fokus perusahaan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan meningkatkan kenyamanan karyawan. Salah satu tantangan yang dihadapi adalah temperatur tinggi mencapai rata-rata 33,435°C dengan kecepatan udara rata-rata 0,833m/s di Gedung Departemen Assembly Line 2 PT Astra Daihatsu Motor. Hal ini disebabkan oleh aliran udara yang tidak merata dan kurangnya sistem pendinginan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan mengoptimalkan aliran udara menggunakan metode simulasi Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simulasi dilakukan dengan merancang beberapa alternatif layout dan penambahan big fan untuk mendapatkan solusi yang paling efektif dan optimal. Hasil optimalisasi menunjukan bahwa perubahan layout dan penambahan big fan terbukti mempengaruhi distribusi udara di dalam ruang produksi menjadi lebih merata serta menurunkan temperatur. Hasil penurunan temperatur menjadi rata-rata 32,659°C dan peningkatan kecepatan udara rata-rata 1,614 m/s.

Abstract

To improve the mechanical properties of biomaterials with zirconium-based alloys, especially on ductility, an annealing process was carried out. The process was carried out at a temperature of 800 oC and holding time for 3 hours in a vacuum chamber which was flowed by high purity argon gas. The composition of the alloy used in this study was Zr6Mo4TixY (x= 0, 1 and 3 %wt). Microstructure observations were carried out using microscope optic and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and mechanical properties observation using tensile testing. In this study, micro-sized specimens were used and followed the ASTM E8-04 standard with a surface roughness of 1µm. The results showed an increase in the tensile strength value after annealing process and decrease the modulus elasticity. In addition, the grain boundaries of the alloy are getting smaller, this shows the effect of annealing on changes in the properties of the material.

Abstract

Perkembangan pesat Internet of Things (IoT) telah memungkinkan berbagai aplikasi cerdas; namun, pengelolaan banyak perangkat IoT yang tersebar secara manual masih kurang efisien dan memakan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem pemantauan dan pengendalian terpusat untuk perangkat IoT yang tersebar dengan menggunakan arsitektur master-agent. Master berfungsi sebagai pusat kendali yang mengumpulkan data dari berbagai agent serta memungkinkan manajemen terpusat melalui API Gateway yang memfasilitasi komunikasi dan kontrol perangkat. Prototipe yang dikembangkan terdiri dari dua mode kontrol: kontrol manual untuk menyalakan dan mematikan lampu melalui antarmuka berbasis web, serta kontrol otomatis untuk pemantauan lingkungan menggunakan berbagai sensor. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini mampu mengelola perangkat IoT secara real-time dengan efektif. Pengujian kontrol manual berhasil mengaktifkan dan menonaktifkan lampu secara jarak jauh. Pengujian kontrol otomatis untuk pemantauan tanaman mencatat suhu lingkungan stabil antara 44–46°C, kelembaban tanah pada 27%, variasi jarak sensor ultrasonik antara 2–15 cm, serta fluktuasi intensitas cahaya antara 29–120 Cd. Hasil ini membuktikan bahwa sistem dapat merespons perubahan lingkungan secara dinamis, seperti mengaktifkan pompa air saat kelembaban tanah rendah atau menyesuaikan pencahayaan berdasarkan data real-time. Dengan menerapkan arsitektur RESTful API dan komunikasi berbasis JSON, sistem ini menawarkan skalabilitas tinggi dan fleksibilitas dalam pengembangan jaringan IoT. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa sistem pengendalian dan pemantauan IoT secara terpusat meningkatkan efisiensi, fleksibilitas, serta kemudahan dalam pengelolaan perangkat, sehingga dapat diterapkan dalam berbagai bidang seperti smart home, pertanian cerdas, dan otomatisasi industri.

Abstract

Hastealloy-C276 is an austenitic nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy with small amounts of tungsten added. This material is quite familiar and is used in various industrial components. However, this alloy, like other types, is very susceptible to corrosion due to the influence of chloride ions in solution. The corrosion resistance of steel alloy materials was investigated using electrochemical methods including open circuit potential (OCP), Anodic Potentiodyamic (AP) with and Tafel in NaCl solution media. The test parameters carried out were chloride concentration (0.001 M-1M) and pH (2, 7 and 10) values. The test results show that an increase in chloride ion concentration causes a decrease in the OCP value in a negative direction, which indicates a tendency for decreasing of the corrosion resistance for C276. The AP test results show that the pitting potential (Epit) value slowly decreases as the chloride ion concentration increases up to 1 M. On the other hand, the role of pH is very important in changing the corrosion resistance performance. A decrease in pH to 2 causes an increase in the corrosion rate of the material, whereas an increase in pH causes this decrease.
