Abstract

Welding technology serves not only as a manufacturing process but also as a repair solution for all metal-based components. Spot welding is a welding method that utilizes electrical resistance to join various products made of sheet metal, in which the contacting metal surfaces are fused by the heat generated from electrical resistance. This welding method is selected due to several advantages, including ease of operation without requiring specialized skills as demanded by other welding techniques, as well as a faster process that enhances production time efficiency. Control of the electrical current path during welding is critical, as it significantly influences the characteristics of the joint, including weld quality, shear strength, hardness level, and resistance to external loads. This study focuses on analyzing the effect of electrical current in spot welding techniques on the shear strength of ST 42 steel plates. Through descriptive analysis and graphical representation, this research aims to observe the relationship between electrical current and the resulting shear strength produced by the welding process. The lowest average shear strength was recorded at an input current of 20.36 A with a welding output current of 6011.47 A, a welding time of 8 seconds, and a heat input of 61894.30 J, yielding a shear strength of 1.67 MPa. Meanwhile, the highest average shear strength was obtained at an input current of 28.95 A with a welding output current of 6011.47 A, a welding time of 8 seconds, and a heat input of 88007.92 J, resulting in a shear strength of 6.72 MPa. Electrical current control is therefore essential, as ST 42 steel plates experienced damage at an input current of 32.45 A and an output current of 6323.58 A, with a welding time of 8 seconds and a heat input of 98647.84 J.

Abstract

Spot welding is greatly influenced by the cooling medium in terms of welding characteristics such as strength. The tensile strength of ST 40 steel plate welded joints is influenced by the cooling medium and welding time. Testing and data collection use experimental methods on spot welding machines and shear tests. Data collection uses quantitative methods while processing uses descriptive methods. The ASTM E8 standard is used in sample testing. The flow of coolant fluid in the spotwelding process significantly affects the HAZ diameter. Faster fluid flow increases heat transfer from the electrode to the coolant, keeping the electrode and weld material temperatures below 1,500 ºC, thereby reducing electrode wear and maintaining a stable weld nugget size at 5.00 mm. The lowest HAZ diameter was recorded at a flow rate of 5 liters/minute with a HAZ diameter of 8.30 mm, while the highest was at a flow rate of 2 liters/minute with a diameter of 10.43 mm. Too fast cooling or too short welding time can cause brittle weld joints and reduce tensile stress. Conversely, slower cooling with appropriate welding time produces optimal tensile strength while maintaining the structural integrity of the joint. Optimal results were found at a fluid flow rate of 2 liters/minute at 5.0 seconds with a tensile stress of 96.10 MPa, 3 liters/minute at 6.0 seconds with a tensile stress of 104.89 MPa, 4 liters/minute at 7.0 seconds with a tensile stress of 114.00 MPa and 5 liters/minute at 8.0 and 9.0 seconds with tensile stress of 116.72 MPa and 125.76 MPa.

Abstract

This study aims to design and develop a circular motion rice planting tool with high efficiency and effectiveness, particularly for narrow rice fields commonly found in Bali. The developed tool features a stainless steel frame, a manual drive system using a rotating spindle, a chain and sprocket transmission system, and a planting mechanism consisting of a main shaft equipped with a mechanical seedling clamp. The tool is ergonomically designed to reduce farmers’ physical workload and simplify maintenance, as it does not require additional energy sources such as fuel or electricity. Performance testing was conducted directly in rice fields located in Subak Ulun Suwi, Gianyar Regency. The testing method compared the time required for rice planting using traditional manual methods and the developed tool. Observation parameters included working time, ease of operation, labor requirements, and consistency of seedling planting results. The results showed that the circular motion rice planting tool significantly improved time efficiency. The average planting time decreased from about 24 minutes per 100 m² using manual methods to approximately 13 minutes per 100 m² using the tool, indicating a time efficiency improvement of nearly 50%. Additionally, the tool reduced farmers’ physical strain because the planting process no longer required prolonged bending. However, some technical challenges were still identified, particularly related to inconsistent numbers of seedlings planted at certain field points. These issues were influenced by variations in mud field conditions, differences in seedling size, and the stability of the clamping mechanism during operation. Overall, the circular motion rice planting tool shows strong potential to improve productivity and planting efficiency, especially in narrow and terraced rice fields. Further development is needed to enhance planting mechanism stability and ensure consistent seedling placement, enabling the tool to become an affordable and practical agricultural mechanization solution suitable for Bali.

Abstract

Shoe drying is a crucial process for maintaining hygiene and extending the lifespan of footwear, especially in high-humidity environments. This study aims to experimentally investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a flat-rack-based shoe dryer. The system is designed with electric heating elements and a horizontal rack configuration to promote uniform heat distribution. Key observed parameters include inlet air temperature, shoe surface temperature, drying time, and moisture content reduction. Measurements were conducted at multiple rack levels to evaluate vertical and horizontal temperature distribution. The results indicate that forced convection is the dominant heat transfer mechanism, with relatively uniform temperature distribution observed in the middle racks, while the top and bottom racks experienced temperature deviations. The heat transfer by radiation generated by the shoe dryer is 5.41 J/s, and the convective heat transfer is 238.8 J/s. The moisture content loss increases with drying time, indicating that 90 minutes is the optimal drying duration among the tested variations. This study provides a foundation for the development of more energy-efficient shoe drying systems and highlights the potential for integrating alternative heat sources such as solar energy.

Abstract

The development of non-conventional light vehicle technology, such as the buggy car, demands efficient and reliable power transfer systems to support mobility in congested industrial areas. One of the primary technologies utilized is the continuously variable transmission (cvt), which offers the advantage of changing transmission ratios continuously without the interruptions found in conventional gear shifting. However, in its application, an imbalance often occurs between the engine speed (rpm engine) and the wheel speed (rpm wheel) due to load factors and power losses. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the correlation between rpm engine and wheel performance on a buggy vehicle under varying loads ranging from 3 kg to 8 kg. Experimental results indicate that increasing the load leads to a significant decrease in wheel rpm across all engine speed ranges; for instance, at 8000 rpm engine, the wheel rpm dropped from approximately 515 rpm (3 kg load) to 225 rpm (8 kg load). Conversely, wheel torque exhibited a linear increase as the load rose, reaching a peak value of 15.8 nm at an 8 kg load. effectiveness analysis shows that the output power (hp) tends to increase with the load, with the highest effectiveness achieved during lower engine speed operations (5500 rpm) at peak load. These findings provide a scientific contribution to understanding the mechanical behavior of cvts and serve as a technical reference for optimizing transmission tuning in light vehicles to achieve a balance between torque and power efficiency.

Abstract

Natural fiber composites are increasingly explored as sustainable alternatives to synthetic fiber composites because of their renewable character, lower environmental impact, and potential for biodegradable applications. However, the hydrophilic nature of natural fibers often causes poor adhesion with polymer matrices and reduces mechanical performance. This study investigated the effect of NaOH and citric acid surface treatments on Agel fiber-reinforced composites fabricated by the hand layup method, with flexural bending strength as the main response. Three composite groups were prepared, untreated Agel fiber, NaOH-treated Agel fiber, and citric acid-treated Agel fiber. The specimens were cut and tested in bending, and the results were analyzed using normality testing, equal variance testing, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey pairwise comparison.The average flexural bending strengths of the untreated, citric acid-treated, and NaOH-treated composites were 36.922 MPa, 37.784 MPa, and 40.611 MPa, respectively. The statistical assumptions for parametric analysis were satisfied, with the data in each group showing normal distribution and equal variance confirmed. One-way ANOVA indicated a significant difference among the three groups (F = 7.24, p = 0.005). Tukey pairwise comparison showed that the NaOH-treated composite was significantly different from both the untreated composite (p = 0.005) and the citric acid-treated composite (p = 0.031), while the difference between untreated and citric acid-treated composites was not significant (p = 0.678).These results indicate that NaOH treatment is more effective than citric acid treatment in improving the flexural performance of Agel fiber composites under the conditions used in this study. The improvement is attributed to better fiber to matrix interfacial bonding caused by surface modification of the fiber. This study supports the potential of Agel fiber as a sustainable reinforcement material for composite applications.
