Abstract

The exponential growth in wireless communication technology has led to spectrum scarcity. Because of this, the world has moved from Fixed Spectrum Allocation (FSA)  Strategy to Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) Strategy. Cognitive Radio (CR) is a rapidly growing technique that makes use of DSA, where the licensed users, otherwise known as Primary Users (PUs), share their channel with the unlicensed users, known as Secondary Users (SUs). The SUs can use the PUs channel when they are not being used for transmission, but they have to vacate to another vacant channel when the PUs arrive in their channel. Switching to another vacant channel on the arrival of the PUs to their channels is known as spectrum hand-off. Finding another suitable vacant channel for the SUs to continue their interrupted transmission is challenging. Several researchers have used different techniques to address the challenge of target channel selection for spectrum hand-off by considering channel occupancy alone. Still, they suffer challenges like the high number of spectrum hand-offs, high delay, and low throughput. Therefore, this research focuses on developing an Improved Channel Selection Algorithm (ICSA) that considers channel occupancy serially with signal quality requirements for selecting a particular backup channel for spectrum hand-off. The simulation was carried out using Network Simulator (NS), and the results were plotted using Matlab. The results showed that the ICSA had better performance when compared with the Novel Proactive Hand-off Scheme (NPHS) regarding the number of hand-offs, average delay, and average throughput.

Abstract

Unicycle is a robot that imitates a performance of a circus artist on a one-wheeled self-balancing bicycle. This research assumes that this model is equivalent to two separated popular models: a two-wheeled self-balancing robot and reaction wheeled inverted pendulum. On each model, we build a PD controller. Thence, we present a structure of PD controllers to balance this model at the equilibrium point. We also build an experimental unicycle robot for the laboratory. Our method is proven to work well based on both simulation and experiment.

Abstract

Plastic is the most widely used inorganic material globally, but its hundred-year disintegration time can harm the environment. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET/PETE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Polypropylene are all commonly used plastics that have the potential to become waste (PP). An essential first step in the recycling process is sorting out plastic waste. A low-cost automated plastic sorting system can be developed by using digital image data in the red, green, and blue (RGB) color space as the dataset and predicting the type using learning datasets. This paper proposes the Decision Tree model to predict the three plastic-type sorting systems based on discretizing predictor variables into two and three categories. The resampling method of k-fold cross-validation with ten folds for less biased. Discretization of the predictor variables into three categories informs that the proposed decision tree model has higher performance compared to the two categories with an accuracy of 81.93 %, a recall-micro of 72.89 %, a recall-macro of 72.30 %, a specificity-micro of 86.45%, and the specificity-macro of 86.51%, respectively. The micro is determined by the number of decisions made for each object. In comparison, the macro is calculated based on the average decision made by each class.

Abstract

The superstructure is all components that are above the ground. The function of the superstructure is as a support for the building with an upward elongated shape, such as frames, trusses, beams, and columns. The column is a vertical compression member of the structural frame that carries the load from the beam. The construction of this warehouse is located in Tanjung Morawa using IWF steel columns. In this study, the strength of the steel columns was analyzed by modeling using SAP 2000 V.14 and manually calculated on the F portal using the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method. The research method uses primary data, namely direct field observations in the form of interviews, and secondary data, namely data taken from the contractor in the form of pictures or from books, previous research, and so on. Based on the results of structural modeling using SAP 2000 V.14, it was concluded that the building is safe; on manual analysis on the F portal, it can be concluded that the steel columns WF-300×150×9×13 and WF-350×175×7×11 are capable of carrying factored compressive loads.

Abstract

Chain–submerged scrapper conveyor bottom ash handling in the petrochemical industry has failed several times and was repaired with AISI 420, which can only operate for three months. AISI 420 is recommended in applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good edge retention in cutting surfaces. The initial cracks and fractures occur in the pin-link joint hole, which causes chain failure. Some evaluation has been performed for both as-received and failed links. It can be concluded that chain link failure occurs due to fatigue failure with low-stress levels. Microstructure observation, XRD, and hardness properties showed no significant difference in both as-received and failed links. Since the operating conditions of the chain are in a corrosive environment, experiencing dynamic loading and working temperatures between 23 ºC and 60 ºC, the selection of HSL materials such as AISI 4140 should be considered.

Abstract

An assessment of the fractured bolt of a cooking oil filter machine was performed. The objective of this assessment is to reveal the root cause of the failure. A series of necessary attempts were carried out for this analysis, i.e., site visit, fracture surface examination of the fractured bolt, collecting the maintenance and operation data, mechanical properties testing, chemical composition testing, and stress analysis. The fracture surface examination showed a catastrophic failure, especially at a repaired bolt. Meanwhile, according to the site visit investigation, some evident data indicated a sudden high-pressure load subjected to the filter machine. Most fractured filter bolts were repaired by welding. The design review shows that the critical operating pressure is around 14.5 bar, which is far above the reported operating pressure during the accident, which is 6 bar. This indicated that the strength of the genuine bolt is sufficient to ensure the operating pressure of the filter machine, which is normally 1 to 3.5 bar. Finally, it can be concluded that the root cause of the failure of the filter machine bolt is decreasing strength of the bolts because of improper repairment indicated by the welding process and assisted by sudden high load due to increasing pressure inside the filter vessel.

Abstract

The design and analysis of welded joints are very useful for the safety of steel-based structures. The effect of welded joints meeting at one point on the resulting stress is a critical factor in constructing steel joints. The main objective of this research is to analyze the mechanical performance and microstructure of the welding process on diamond and circular plate joints. The analysis was carried out through experiments and finite element simulations to find out how much influence the addition of a diamond plate and circular plate had on the plate connection. The method used is to analyze the strength, hardness, and micro and macrostructure testing to determine the strength and structural changes of the metal after welding. The results of the test are then used to create an inhomogeneous model of weld joint, then the model is applied to the FEA software to be analyzed by the bending test simulation. The experimentally bending testing was carried out to examine bending performance of the test objects. From the simulation and experimental results, it is found that the shape of a circular plate measuring a diameter of 60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is appropriate for a flat plate joint, and the flat-diamond plate measuring 60x60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is proper for application to un-flat (cornered) plate joints. The structural integrity of a flat plate joint with a circular plate is greater than that of a diamond plate.

Abstract

Industry in Indonesia continues to experience development in line with advances in science and technology, and this is because the industrial sector makes the most significant contribution to the national economy. However, industrial operations that are getting bigger can produce various kinds of waste, one of which is waste from the processing of plastic metallization applications and modern vacuum coating on food packaging, namely evaporation boats. The result of this waste is substantial because, in its application, evaporation boats will always be used as long as plastic food packaging continues to be produced around the world, so it is necessary to have handling for environmental sustainability in the future. Evaporation boat waste is waste that cannot be decomposed but can withstand heat and be used as a refractory material, especially as a primary material for making crucibles.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential of utilising fly ash, a harmful byproduct of coal waste, in the manufacturing of composite materials to reduce its environmental impact. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and fly ash were mixed with zinc stearate using the powder metallurgy method to create wear-resistant samples. The compaction load was adjusted to achieve optimal low-pressure compaction, with pressures of 22.75 MPa, 23.45 MPa, 24.14 MPa, and 24.83 MPa used for single punch pressing. After 10 minutes of holding time, sintering was conducted at 900 OC for 1 hour. The raw materials were tested using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and sieved based on the mesh size. The composite was characterised through various tests, including density testing, wear testing, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the microstructure. The density value increased with the compaction load, with a maximum apparent density of 1.794 g/cm3 and the highest porosity percentage at a pressure of 22.75 Mpa of 31.155%. Furthermore, the specific wear value decreased as the compaction load increased, with the lowest specific abrasion value of 1.17 x 10-6 mm2/kg. Therefore, using fly ash to produce composite materials is a promising solution to reduce the negative impact of coal waste while producing wear-resistant materials.

Abstract

Plastic waste is a growing problem that hurts the environment. The pyrolysis method converts plastic waste into alternative fuels to address this issue. This study aimed to investigate the impact of temperature on the characteristics of pyrolysis oil produced from a combination of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and PolyPropylene (PP) plastic waste. The study focused on the resulting pyrolysis oil's volume, density, viscosity, and calorific value. The study results showed that the highest pyrolysis oil yield was obtained at 450ºC, with a volume of 350 ml. The density of the pyrolysis oil ranged from 670-790 kg/m3, while the viscosity ranged from 1.611-2.401 cP. The calorific value of the pyrolysis oil ranged from 7393.7584-8946.3759 cal/gr. The results demonstrate that the temperature significantly impacts the characteristics of the resulting pyrolysis oil. The study findings could be useful in optimizing the pyrolysis process to obtain high-quality oil from mixed plastic waste streams, thereby reducing plastic waste and providing an alternative energy source. The study highlights the potential for converting mixed plastic waste into alternative fuels through pyrolysis.
