Abstract

This study uses a combination of analytical, simulation, and experimental methods in the design process of a sandwich-structured composite monocoque chassis. The analytical method, which determines the stiffness value of the composite, depends on the number of layers and the orientation of the fiber angle. The simulation method, which is based on the finite-element method, is used to validate the stiffness value. The experimental method involves a 3-point bending test used to verify the effectiveness of the design produced by analytical and simulation methods. After all model designs were validated through simulation and experimental methods, the next stage is fabrication. The stiffness and strength are achieved with variations, which have combined layup orientation angles of 0° and 45°. This can be applied to all panels, regardless of the number of layers. Based on the design results, the processes involved in fabricating the monocoque chassis begin with the manufacture of molds and the lay-up of carbon fiber. The process is continued by inserting the prototype into the oven, after which the final product then undergoes finishing to prepare it for use. The fabricated monocoque chassis has been used in 2 events in Japan’s annual Formula SAE student racing car competition.

Abstract

Flat wagons are logistic railway vehicles that are always subjected to a heavy dynamic load. One type is the 42 ton flat wagon developed by INKA Ltd., which is well known as PPCW flat wagon. The initial design of this flat wagon was operated using a container. Nevertheless, it can operate safely without a container as well. This study was conducted to mitigate the effect of fluctuating load on fatigue of 42 ton flat wagons as cement carriers, with or without a container. The 3D flat wagon model was built and exported to ANSYS Workbench 19 to simulate the effect of the variable and mean stresses generated within the wagon. Several operational modes were applied to the model, such as an accelerated condition of 0.21 m/s2, a constant straight track, a turn uphill track, an inclined track, a turn downward track, and a decelerated condition of 0.3 m/s2. Transient structural, static structural, and modal analysis types are applied in the simulation consecutively to adapt the track variations. Due to the loading being dominated by compressive load, a negative stress ratio of 1.5 was utilized as the stress ratio of alternating stresses. The numerical study indicated that the straight, turn uphill, and turn downward tracks could exaggerate the stress generated due to dynamic loading. Potential fatigue failure could occur because the dynamic load produced fluctuating stresses, either alternating or mean stresses, that could damage the structural integrity of the flat wagon.

Abstract

Steel is a material that is widely used in industry and construction. The tensile and compressive force of steel is relatively high compared to other materials. On the opposite, low corrosion resistance is the main weakness of steel, which can encourage steel deterioration and fatal accidents for the user. Furthermore, regular visual inspection by a human should be performed to prevent catastrophic incidents. However, human visual inspection increases the risk of work accidents and reduces work effectiveness. Therefore, a drone with a camera is one solution to increase efficiency, increase security levels, and minimize difficulties or risks during corrosion inspection. In this research, the drone has been used to capture corroded video of a construction structure. The convolutional neural network (CNN) method is then used to detect the location of the corroded images. This study has been conducted on Surabaya’s Petekan-bridge with the Mobilenet V1 SSD pre-training model. In this study, the distance between a drone and the detected object varied between 1 and 2 m. Next, the drone speed was varied into 0.6 m/s, 0.9m/s, and 1.3m/s. As a result, CNN can detect corrosion on the surface of steel materials with the best accuracy is 84.66% and minimum total loss value of 1.673 by applying 200 images, 200000 epochs, batch size at 4, learning rate at 0.001 and 0.1, the distance at 1 m, drone speed at 0.6 m/s.

Abstract

KMP Bambit is an Indonesian Ro-Ro ship that carries passengers. It is public transportation from Merauke Regency to Asmat Regency and vice versa. The ship is still using fluorescent lamps as its main lighting source. This study presents a comparative study of the efficiency level between the use of fluorescent lamps and LED lamps in the room aboard the ship. The method used is the zonal cavity (lumen) method by dividing each room into three parts, namely the height ceiling cavity (hcc), height room cavity (hrc), and height floor cavity (hfc). The illumination value was determined according to the standards set for each room. The principal results for comparing lighting power on KMP Bambit showed that the total lighting electrical load accumulated using the fluorescent lighting type was 24.31kW. In contrast, LED lighting had a total lighting electrical load of 16.51 kW. This reduced the generator power from 68 kW to 60 kW, which could improve the efficiency of ship fuel operational costs. This study can evaluate the existing Ro-Ro ship fleet and be a good option in the process of building Ro-Roships in the future.

Abstract

The Gravitational Water Vortex Power Plant (GWVPP) is a small-scale hydroelectric power generator that makes use of the energy generated from a vortex flow to turn turbine blades and generate electricity. In this research study, the focus was on the numerical analysis of the basin design of the GWVPP, which is divided into three sections: vortex generator section, transformer section, and turbine section. To support the transformation process from tangential vortex speed to axial vortex speed in the transformer section, a damper plate was installed to direct the rotating flow. The effect of the nozzle in accelerating the flow for optimizing the basin design was also studied to reduce blockage caused by the transformation process. The numerical results indicate that designs with nozzle have lower velocity outputs due to blockage from the rotating flow. At flow rate of 0.1 m3/s, the presence of damper plate reduces the maximum flow rotation, but at flow rate of 0.2 m3/s, it prevents flow leakage on the surface. The basin design without damper plate and nozzle is the optimal variation for flow rates of 0.1 m3/s, while the design with damper plate but without nozzle is optimal for flow rates of 0.2 m3/s.

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effect of the position of Electromagnetic Vibration Absorber (EMVA) to reduce the vibration of main system and to generate the energy. This article reports the results of a simulation and experimental study on the main system, which was excited by external force and the resulting vibration was reduced with an EMVA. The design of EMVA is in laboratory scale. The main system consists of a flat plate as a main mass and four springs, which are subjected to an excitation force that comes from the DC motor. The results show that both the simulation approach and experiment correspond well. The reduction of main system’s vibration is found to be affected by the position of EMVA. The maximum reduction in translation, rolling, and pitching direction occur at different position, which are at point 7 for translation and at point 1 for rolling and pitching. Meanwhile, the highest power generation occurs when the EMVA is at point 1.

Abstract

Designing the negative pressure isolation room need good ventilation planning. The design of the ventilation system must make every part of the room well circulated so that the air does not stagnate. In addition, the air must not be short-circuited between the inlet and outlet. Aspects of the comfortability of the patient must be considered including temperature, velocity and air pressure in the room. By doing simulation, it is expected that the optimal flow characteristics can be known in order to maintain the air condition of the isolation room at a low infection level and the patient in the room still feels comfortable. The method used in this research is a three-dimensional numerical study in a negative pressure isolation room with a size of 6 m x 8 m x 3 m. Variations carried out in this study are position of the patient's bed and difference in the outlet pressure of -2.5Pa, -5 Pa, -8 Pa, -15 Pa, respectively. The boundary conditions at the inlet uses a mass flow inlet type with a mass rate at 0.5642 kg/s (12 ACH ) and at the outlets use a pressure outlet type. The results obtained from this study are that the outlet pressure variation of -5 Pa is the best variation because it can create a negative pressure room according to existing standards and also patient still fell comfort because the room pressure is not too negative. The configuration of the isolation room with one bed has better airflow characteristics than the isolation room with two beds because there is no air stagnation in the area above the bed. Patient comfort can be maintained because the speed in the bed area is less than 0.2 m/s, the temperature near the bed is less than 28 oC, and the room pressure does not reach -1mmHg or -133 Pa (Gauge Pressure).

Abstract

The development of polymer composite materials has been widely developed as an alternative material to replace metal materials due to various advantages such as having relatively good mechanical strength, low density, and easy manufacturing process, but polymers have many disadvantages that they easily crack when impacted. One of the most widely used materials for composite matrices is unsaturated polyester polymers which are widely used in vehicle, aircraft, and ship hull components as well as vehicle components. The crack study is important because it causes the material to no longer be able to support loads below its yield strength, therefore causing failure to occur more quickly. One way to overcome material failure due to cracks in composite materials is to prevent crack propagation by adding reinforcing materials. In this study, a composite material was made using rice husk fiber to increase the crack resistance of the polyester composite matrix. From the results of the crack test, it is known that there is a tendency to increase the percentage variable of the addition of rice husk by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The expected value obtained to determine the crack resistance of the material is the value of the stress intensity factor (K1c). The highest K1c price was obtained at a 15% rice husk percentage variable of 1.558 MPa.m0.5, this price could increase the price of the pure polyester stress intensity factor (K1c) by 0.667 MPa.m0.5, indicating an increase of 233.58%.

Abstract

Three-dimensional printing or 3D Printing is one of the revolutionary machines in addictive manufacturing techniques to create three-dimensional objects with complex structures. Until now there are many techniques in 3D printing, one of which is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), which is currently widely used because of its ease and low operational costs. However, in the printing process, there are important things that must receive attention, namely the process parameters. Because this is what really determines the quality of the printout. In this research, an analysis of the effect of process parameters such as: infill rate, infill pattern, extrusion temperature and layer thickness were carried out on the tensile strength of the printed product. The method used is the Taguchi method with the Orthogonal Array L 9 (3 4) experimental design. Three tensile test specimens were printed for each variation using a Cubic Chiron 3D printer, so a total of 27 specimens were printed. All specimens were tensile tested according to ASTM D638 standard, the results were analysed based on the average value and signal to ratio (SNR) value and their significance by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis show that the infill rate, infill pattern and layer thickness have a significant effect on the tensile strength of the printing results. The optimal value of the tensile strength is 56,876 MPa, occurs in the concentric pattern with an infill rate of 90%, and a layer thickness of 0.2 mm. From the confirmation test, the confidence interval values were obtained from 55,477 MPa to 58,275 MPa, meaning that the optimal predictive value was not significantly different from the confirmation test value.
