Abstract

Efforts to manage waste are being carried out at various levels, ranging from households to large-scale industries that generate waste on a daily basis. The imbalance between waste generation and proper management has turned waste into a serious environmental concern. Among the different types of waste, plastic is one of the most difficult to naturally decompose (non-biodegradable) and represents the largest portion compared to other waste materials. Statistical data show that in several cities across Indonesia, the amount of non-biodegradable waste disposed of at final disposal sites reaches 6,598.23 tons per day. This study was conducted with both general and specific objectives. The general aim was to utilize plastic waste as a composite material, while the specific objective was to analyze the tensile strength properties of composites produced from plastic waste reinforced with durian fibers. By exploring the potential of plastic waste in construction materials, this research seeks to provide a sustainable solution to the plastic waste problem while contributing to environmental preservation. Four different specimens were prepared for testing: Specimen A (80% plastic waste and 20% durian fiber), Specimen B (60% plastic waste and 40% durian fiber), Specimen C (40% plastic waste and 60% durian fiber), and Specimen D (20% plastic waste and 80% durian fiber). The results revealed that Specimen B exhibited the highest average tensile strength of 20.9 MPa, indicating significant potential for enhancing material performance. In contrast, Specimen D showed the lowest average tensile strength of only 1.2 MPa, highlighting the need for further composition optimization to improve mechanical properties. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the development of recycled composite materials for use in construction and broader industrial applications.

Abstract

Laser marking has become an industrial trend to label a product to avoid problems arising from errors in product placement, labels can also be other markers depending on needs, laser marking can provide good writing prints on steel sheets. However, problems arise due to poor parameter input errors resulting in marking reading results that cannot be read by the scanner machine, this study aims to provide an analysis of the influence of laser marking input variations that can provide good marking quality, to determine the quality of marking, researchers use a Logitech camera assisted by Open CV programming, to see the quality of laser marking results that can be read by the scanner. This research method begins with inputting 6 parameter variations including speed, laser power and laser frequency, then Open CV programming is carried out to obtain image reading quality with color and line recognition, the reading results will automatically display the error level of the study. The results of the study explain the first test with a high error rate due to low input variables so that the reading is not clear, while the error value is 104040 in color recognition and 69024 in lines that are read with a 100% end range. The lowest error value is in the second test with the highest input variable, namely 1309 in black and white color recognition and 1345 in lines with a range of 100%, therefore the sixth test can be read clearly and well.

Abstract

This study discusses the tuning of a multi-loop control system based on Proportional–Integral (PI) controllers for a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic arm. Each joint is controlled individually but operates in coordination to achieve precise motion. A simultaneous tuning method using the looptune function and the slTuner interface in MATLAB is employed to optimize all six loops simultaneously, considering response time, MIMO stability, and minimal cross-coupling. Simulation results in the Simulink–Simscape model show that this method produces faster, more stable responses with reduced overshoot compared to conventional tuning. The implementation of a 2-DOF controller also eliminates overshoot and improves the performance of the Bicep joint, resulting in smoother and more accurate trajectory tracking.

Abstract

Global climate change, characterized by an increase in the average temperature of the Earth, is an important issue that affects human life. One of the phenomena that occurs is the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs due to the lack of green plants that function as absorbers of solar heat. However, the effectiveness of plants in absorbing solar heat can vary. Therefore, experimental scientific studies are needed to determine the extent to which hanging ornamental plants can absorb solar heat. This study tested five types of hanging ornamental plants to obtain heat absorption values, namely Epipremnum aureum, Chlorophytum comosum, Paperomia hopei, Discidia geri, and Tradescantia spatcheae. The results of the study found that Chlorophytum Comosum (spider plant) had the highest heat absorption value of 1 kJ. This study contributes to providing solutions for controlling environmental temperature.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the stress and strain distribution on the front planetary sun gear of a helical differential using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The analysis was carried out under two conditions: without a crack and with an initial crack of 1 mm placed at the tensile side tooth root, in order to evaluate the effect of defect presence on the mechanical behavior of the gear under an operational torque load of 175 Nm. Three-dimensional modeling and meshing were performed using ANSYS software, with SCM420 steel as the material, which has an allowable stress of 1,300 MPa. The simulation results show that the maximum stress in the uncracked model reached 8,859.6 MPa, while in the cracked model it increased to 15,258 MPa. Meanwhile, the maximum equivalent elastic strain increased from 4.437 × 10⁻² mm/mm to 1.154 × 10⁻¹ mm/mm. This significant increase indicates that the presence of an initial crack intensifies stress concentration and amplifies local deformation, potentially accelerating crack initiation and propagation due to the increased strain energy accumulated near the crack tip. Based on these findings, optimization of the fillet radius and the application of surface treatments such as shot peening or advanced carburizing are recommended to reduce peak stresses and extend gear fatigue life. The results of this study demonstrate that the FEM approach is effective in predicting structural behavior and serves as a basis for the development of reliability-based design and condition monitoring systems in modern automotive transmissions.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of spindle speed on the wear rate of CNMG 120404 carbide cutting tools using a dry machining process without coolant. The specimens used were AISI 1045 steel shafts, The cutting tool used was a CNMG 120404 carbide with conditions assumed to be the same in each experiment. The machine used was a Gedee Weiler LZ-330 G lathe with fixed parameters of 0.2 mm/revolution feed and 0.4 mm cutting depth, as well as spindle speed variations of 450 rpm and 660 rpm. The cutting time was carried out in stages starting from 5, 10, 15, 20, to 25 seconds. In this study, the parameters observed included tool wear and the surface roughness of the turning results on the AISI 1045 specimen. Tool wear was measured using visual macro documentation, while surface roughness was tested with a surface roughness tester. The results showed that the lowest wear value occurred at 450 rpm with a cutting time of 5 seconds, amounting to 0.012 mm, while the highest wear was achieved at 660 rpm with a cutting time of 25 seconds, amounting to 0.036 mm. In terms of surface quality, the lowest roughness value was obtained at 450 rpm with a cutting time of 5 seconds, amounting to 2.43 µm, while the highest roughness occurred at 660 rpm with a cutting time of 25 seconds, amounting to 4.56 µm. This data shows that the higher the speed and the longer the cutting time, the greater the tool wear and the lower the surface quality due to friction and increased temperature in the cutting zone. Wear on carbide tools is more influenced by friction between the tool and the workpiece and the duration of cutting. The speed factor is not as dominant as the effects of friction and cutting duration.
