Abstract

This study presents reviews of the failure criteria to capture the resulting response due to the catastrophe of ship collision and grounding using the finite element. Researchers have introduced several failure criteria, for instance, the DNV RP-C204 criterion, Germanischer Lloyd criterion, Peschmann, RiceTracey and Cockcroft-Latham (RTCL), Bressan-Williams-Hill (BWH) instability criterion, and Liu criterion. As in the mathematical formula, each criterion has a difference. The choice of failure criteria will depend on the simulation's specific requirements and the analysis's goals. Liu's criterion can be used to evaluate the failure of materials in ship collision simulations, for example, when large element sizes (i.e., 20 mm) are considered in the simulation.

Abstract

In this study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the effect of alumina (Al2O3) addition in joining polypropylene. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material used most as a non-metallic material. One of the joining methods that can be applied in Polypropylene is Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The use of Al2O3 as a filler is to modify the polypropylene matrix's properties to improve the joint's quality. The Al2O3 powder with 99 9% purity was inserted along the polypropylene plates in the groove. This research analyzed the role of adding Al2O3 and tool rotation speed concerning the joints' quality. The experiment was performed under different values of tool speed rotation (204 rpm, 356 rpm, 620 rpm, and 1140 rpm) and the presence or absence of the addition of alumina powder. Then, the joint's quality is visually observed by optical macroscopy at the top and cross-section view. From macroscopic observations, adding alumina could make the visual of the joint look better and result in minimum defects than the joint without alumina addition. Instead, the increasing tool speed rotation helped the distribution of alumina during the welding process.

Abstract

The bus driver's comfort is crucial. The location of the driver's seat, which is correlated with the seat support design, is one of the elements supporting his comfort. The bus business chosen as a representative is PT Selamet Trans Abadi, which has its headquarters in Pati City, Central Java. By considering the Safety Factor, House of Quality (HOQ), weight, shape, and seat support dimensions, this study intends to ascertain how the characteristics of the bus seat support form after receiving a load or force. Conducting a field visit to gather the necessary data is the initial step in this research. The following stage is to decide on the design criteria based on the collected data. Next, use Solidwork to model the design. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM), this program can investigate design characteristics. The loading simulation under consideration includes clutch engagement, bus brake application, and clutch engagement, whether the support is static or stationary. The validation with two supporting journals is then run as the following step to validate the findings. The constant chair support fulfills the typical value, according to the study's findings, whereas support 1 is the most fracture-prone. The outcomes of supports 2 and 3 demonstrate that the support strength is weak since it is subjected to an unequal load.

Abstract

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer is an example of a thermoplastic polymer that requires heat in its production process. ABS polymer also can be modified to increase strength against resistance, toughness, and heat resistance by adding MCC as a reinforcement to ABS composites. Extrusion is one of the established methods of polymer processing with filler and consequently disperses filler inside the polymer. Different speed shows different behavior of filler dispersion. Therefore, this study was conducted to know the effect of extruder screw speed variations on the mechanical, physical, and thermal stability of ABS/MCC composites. The compositions used in producing ABS/MCC composites are 96% for ABS and 4% for MCC. The production process uses screw extruder speed variations of 10 rpm, 15 rpm, and 20 rpm. ABS/MCC composite in the barrel and hot press use 160 °C for the temperature process. The highest tensile strength was obtained at 10 rpm variation for 14.2 MPa. Increasing the speed of the extruder screw causes a decrease in MCC content attached to ABS which reduces the mechanical strength. ABS/MCC composite density value decreased with the increased extruder speed, as evidenced by the increasing number of voids formed based on SEM testing.

Abstract

The project planning process, especially in ship repair projects, is essential to improving project completion. Ineffective planning of ship repair projects results in a lack of time and labour efficiency. Therefore, using project acceleration tools in scheduling ship repair activities is crucial to accelerate project completion and mitigate risk analysis of delays for each project activity. This research uses the critical path method (CPM) to analyze the main schedule of three combined ship repair projects. Then, shop-level planning is used to determine the productivity of each workshop so that each workshop knows the volume of work that needs to be completed daily. Furthermore, fuzzy logic is applied to analyze the risk of delays in repair project activities. The addition of working hours to critical work activities is accelerated from 30 days, the normal duration, to 23 days. Meanwhile, the addition of the workforce to critical work activities is accelerated from 30 days, the normal duration, to 22 days. The analysis of productivity values in each workshop results in the following productivity values: sandblasting and painting workshop 309.97 m2/person-days, piping workshop 4.12 units/person-days, fabrication workshop 407.16 kg/person-days, outfitting workshop 14.8 units/person-days, tank cleaning workshop 114.36 m3/person-days, and machining workshop 2.7 units/person-days. The fuzzy logic analysis results to determine the risk of delays in critical activities show that jobs with the codes SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, M2, and SP5 have a high risk of delay. Additionally, the collaboration with other departments in the company, such as the marketing, finance, and human resources departments, is ongoing to complete assigned tasks.

Abstract

The utilization of RD-type silica gel material as an adsorbent within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) layer underwent a comprehensive analysis aimed at elucidating its unique adsorption characteristics through the application of MATLAB programming. This study aims to determine the characteristics of silica gel RD to water vapor in terms of adsorption capacity and rate. A layer modeling approach was employed to simulate the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which comprised four distinct layers: the surrounding environment air, the fabric layer, the RD-type silica gel layer, and the air gap separating the silica gel from the skin surface. The simulation encompassed environmental conditions set at 27℃, while the human body's temperature was maintained at 35℃. This study uses a simulation method using GAB (Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer) modeling calculations to determine isothermal characteristics and LDF (Linear Driving Force) modeling to determine kinetic characteristics with an adsorbent temperature of 26.84℃. The simulation results show that the isothermal characteristics of silica gel RD at a relative humidity of 60% or a relative pressure of 0.6 have an absorption capacity of 0.38 kg/kg. Moreover, the kinetic characteristics of silica gel RD have an absorption rate of 0.38 kg/kg of water vapor with a time of 980 s until a significant reduction in the absorption value occurs.

Abstract

As the demand for lightweight ships continues to rise, there is a growing necessity to explore innovative methods that can reduce the weight of ship structures without altering the materials used. This research addresses this challenge by investigating the effect of opening in stiffener under impact loading. The research aims to provide valuable insights into optimizing weight reduction strategies while ensuring the ship's overall strength and performance remain uncompromised. To achieve this goal, the study employed the finite element method as a solver. By simulating impact scenarios and analyzing stiffener responses, the numerical analysis quantified the structural behavior and failure modes. The focus was on understanding the impact of openings on the structural integrity and how it relates to their positioning relative to the impact point. The results of the study indicate that opening slightly distant from the impact point exhibit greater strength, showcasing a counterintuitive relationship between opening placement and structural response.

Abstract

Several methods to enhance heat transfer can be classified into three categories: active, passive, or hybrid. Among these methods, Vortex Generators (VGs) are one passive heat transfer enhancement device widely used in heat exchangers. This study aims to explore the geometric shapes of VGs equipped with longitudinal holes and examine their influence on the outlet temperature of the fluid. For the analysis in this research, a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation using ANSYS Fluent software was employed. The increased heat transfer and flow resistance in the VG geometry were evaluated based on previous research for validation. The study results demonstrate that the simulation produces fluid outlet temperature values and velocity contours that closely resemble the results obtained from the reference study. The validation error of this research was found to be only 0.02%, indicating high-quality and accurate simulation results. Furthermore, the study compared various geometries of the VG holes in the system. Among these geometries, hexagonal-shaped VG holes exhibited high-velocity contours on the VG side while achieving the lowest fluid outlet temperature at approximately 303.53 K. The findings of this study serve as a basis for further developments in enhancing the efficiency and performance of heat exchangers using VGs.
