Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mechanical strength of composites with bamboo fiber and glass powder reinforcement using an epoxy matrix. The study used a hand lay-up method with three variations of volume fraction composition, namely (1) 15% bamboo fiber, 15% glass powder, 70% resin, (2) 20% bamboo fiber, 10% glass powder, 70% resin, and (3) 25% bamboo fiber, 5% glass powder, 70% resin. The bamboo fiber used was the result of alkali treatment using 15% NaOH solution to remove lignin and cellulose, while the glass powder was obtained from household glass waste with a particle size of 60 mesh. Mechanical property testing included tensile testing (ASTM D638 Type 1), compression testing (ASTM D695-96), and impact testing (ASTM D256), while morphological structure analysis was carried out using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) testing. The results showed that the volume fraction composition of 25:5:70 produced the highest tensile strength with an average value of 95.69 N/mm² and the highest impact strength of 29.91 J/mm. Meanwhile, the composition of 15:15:70 obtained the highest compressive strength of 57.13 MPa. SEM analysis of the composite fracture showed the occurrence of full out fiber, debonding, and void phenomena in the matrix, which affected the decrease in the material strength value. This indicates that variations in the composition of bamboo fiber and glass powder can optimize the mechanical properties of composites, while supporting the utilization of natural materials and waste as environmentally friendly innovation materials for automotive applications, especially Yamaha Vixion motorcycle visor products.

Abstract

Blowout Preventers (BOPs) are critical safety devices in drilling operations and operate in abrasive, high‑pressure environments that accelerate wear and failure. This study applies two Non‑Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT), to identify surface defects on RAM BOP components, and integrates finite‑element‑based crack propagation simulation to assess the risk of further damage. LPT was applied to coated/non‑ferromagnetic parts, while MPT was used for ferromagnetic components, referencing ASME Section V acceptance criteria. Inspections revealed defects including a 4.9 mm crack on the piston shaft and pitting corrosion (≈0.8-5.3 mm) on several parts (e.g., cavity upper, housing). The simulation, with 3000 psi operating pressure and an initial flaw (l = 3 mm; h = 1 mm; r = 0.6 mm), predicted stress concentration at the crack tip (up to ~141 MPa) and potential growth toward ~7.9-11.7 mm if unrepaired. Recommended actions include re‑welding cracked regions and polishing minor scratches/pitting, combined with periodic NDT for early detection. The integrated NDT-simulation workflow supports proactive maintenance, enhances operational safety, and mitigates failure risk.

Abstract

Corn has a high post-harvest moisture content (20-40%), making drying very important to maintain quality and extend shelf life. This study investigated the effect of drum rotation speed in a rotary dryer on the drying characteristics of corn and compared it with solar drying. The drying method was carried out using an LPG-fueled rotary dryer with an inlet air temperature of 70°C and an air flow velocity of 7.9 m/s. The drum rotation speed was varied at 6 rpm, 9 rpm, and 12 rpm with an initial corn mass of 5 kg. Drying was carried out for 6 hours. And data collection was carried out every 30 minutes during the drying process. As a result, a higher drum rotation speed significantly increased the drying rate. A speed of 12 rpm showed the best performance with a maximum drying rate of 0.46 kg/hour and an average of 0.24 kg/hour. However, the highest energy efficiency was obtained at a speed of 6 rpm, indicating that lower speeds require less energy despite longer drying times. Overall, the rotary dryer performed better than solar drying in reducing corn moisture content more quickly, stably, and controlled in a shorter time
