Abstract

Abstract ASTM A36 low carbon steel is steel commonly used in construction, and the austenitic stainless steel 316L series is stainless steel with good corrosion resistance. Joining two dissimilar metals is unavoidable because it can provide good mechanical properties and resist corrosion at a low cost. This study studied the effect of variations in post-welding heating process temperature (PWHT) on mechanical properties and microstructure by shield metal arc welding (SMAW) low carbon steel ASTM A36 with ASTM A240 type 316L with a thickness of 6 mm with a single V connection and using an E308L-electrode. 16. The PWHT process was carried out to improve the weld results with variations in heating temperatures of 400, 600, and 900˚C with a holding time of 1 hour with 15% dromos quenching media. Testing mechanical properties includes hardness test using micro Vickers method on low carbon steel base metal, HAZ, weld metal, HAZ, and stainless steel base metal and impact test using Charpy method. Optical microscopes were used to study the microstructure of the area of the base metal, HAZ, and weld metal viewed using a laser scanning microscope. The test results show that the highest average hardness value in the weld metal area is in the specimen without PWHT with a value of 124.96 HV and samples with a PWHT temperature of 400˚C on the weld metal 121.63 HV and the lowest in the PWHT specimen 900˚C 76.17 HV. in the HAZ 316L area. The hardness value of the weld metal without PWHT and PWHT indicates that the hardness value is higher than the two-parent metals. While the impact test with PWHT specimens at 400˚C had higher impact energy than specimens without PWHT by 6.50 %, and the lowest was 16.26% at the optimum temperature of 900˚C, the shape of the samples showed ductile cracks.

Abstract

Turning biomass waste into added value product is crucial as it is not only beneficial to the environment but also to the economy. Coffee peel is a waste that has excellent potential to produce activated carbon. Activated carbon is carbon that has gone through an activation process and has a large surface area and higher adsorption rate. The high need for activated carbon in overcoming waste problems makes it useful to reduce its environmental impact. Activated carbon is widely used in water filtration including heavy metal Pb and Cd. The aim of this research is to study the impact of KOH concentration on Pb adsorption of activated carbon derived from coffee peel. KOH activator could enhance the performance of the activated carbon. The KOH activator concentration is varied to obtain the best-surface structure in activated carbon. The KOH concentration is 2,3 and 4 molars. Each specimen will undergo the same carbon activation process by maintaining the carbonization and drying temperature. Then at the activation stage, variations of KOH concentration will be mixed with the activated carbon and soaked for 24 hours with a weight ratio of KOH to charcoal of 1,5 to 1. The result shown that fixed carbon of 2,3,4 molar KOH concentration are 45.99%, 58.22%, 42.99% respectively, while Pb adsorption are 96.56%, 98.34% and 96.45%. In addition, the adsorption rate of activated carbon is proportional to the concentration level of the KOH solution. However, there is a limit on adsorption concentration, so there is a significant decrease when KOH exceeds the saturation point. Based on this research, Pb adsorption of coffee peel derived activated carbon is quite significant even though the amount of fixed carbon relatively low.

Abstract

Pulau Balang Bridge is access to the Indonesia’s Capital City of IKN and connects Balikpapan to Penajam. So far, there are several alternative transportations, from the Balikpapan area to Penajam and vice versa, one of which is using a ferry, which takes 1.5 hours and added time to the queue. Another alternative is to use a speed boat, the travel time is about 15 minutes. Speed boats are only for passenger purposes and substandard safety. Currently, the number of passengers is quite significant for the Balikpapan - Penajam Ferry Service, after the Pulau Balang Bridge operation, must significantly impact the shipping industry in the Balikpapan - Penajam area. Several alternatives for transportation to connect Balikpapan - Penajam Paser Utara, which has a high annual demand for many ships. This study aims to predict the demand for the Kariangau - Penajam Ferry Service after operating the Pulau Balang bridge and determine the optimization of ships on demand for the Kariangau - Penajam Paser Utara Ferry service after the Pulau Balang bridge operates. The method used in this study is forecasting with linear regression and descriptive or survey research. Assuming there is no Pulau Balang bridge, demand for the Kariangau – Penajam ferry service for passengers grows 2% per year, two-wheeled vehicles grow 4% per year, and four-wheeled vehicles grow 1% per year. Projections of passenger demand in 2026 and 2031 are likely to be optimistic that the demand will decrease to 77% and possibly 20% pessimistic. From the distance and time of ferry service users, 7 routes (49%) of ferry service users still use the ferry line, and 5 routes (51%) of ferry service users switch to the bridge if it is already in operation. Meanwhile, from the results of direct interviews, the demand for the Kariangau - Penajam Ferry service was 23%. They would switch, 33% of respondents would take turns using ships and bridges, 20% would still use ferries, and 24% had yet needed to choose. Currently, 19 ships are operating at the Kariangau - Penajam Ferry service. For an optimistic possibility in 2026 and 2031 the demand for ships if the Pulau Balang bridge operates is 16 ships. However, for a pessimistic possibility, the ships needed to operate are only 4 ships per day.

Abstract

The Rayleigh-Ritz Method is used extensively for the vibration analysis of structures. The accuracy depends on the assumed functions. In this work several different groups of functions are examined and compared for the accuracy of the resulting natural frequencies, and for the overall mode shape error norms calculated with respect to the known exact solutions. It is concluded that a set that combines low order polynomials, odd cosine and odd sine functions, or, even cosine and even sine functions, is more likely to yield the best accuracy and convergence of both frequency and mode shapes for a general beam structure.

Abstract

The rectangular plate is a model of the internal mirror of an SLR camera. The internal mirror model is a rectangular metal plate that rotates on its own axis around one side of a rectangle. When the mirror hits to the stopper, a rebound vibration occurs. The double collision method is introduced to reduce the rebound vibration. The timing of the double collision varies the amount of rebound vibration. 3-D Particle Image Velocimetry (3-D PIV) and 3-D motion analysis are used to investigate the rebound phenomena. 3-D PIV measures the rebound vibration velocity of the mirror model surface at the moment of collision. 3-D motion analysis is used to measures the rebound vibration displacement at the moment of collision. When the rebound vibration is small, the low-velocity region on the surface of the mirror model moves in the longitudinal direction. This indicates that the mirror model is undergoing wave deformation after the moment of collision. When the timing of the second collision is optimized, the deformation of the mirror model at the moment of collision is increased and the rebound amount is suppressed.
