Abstract

This article discusses the early-age thermal stress, caused by the hydration heat, of a rotary kiln concrete foundation. We measure the hydration heat using an adiabatic calorie meter and perform finite volume numerical calculations to obtain the temperature distribution and finite element calculation to determine the thermal stress. The numerical simulation showed significant temperature differences between the core region and surface of the concrete. Compressive stress developed at the core, and tensile stress developed at the surface of the concrete during a heating period. The compressive stress was lower than the concrete compressive strength. The tensile stress was higher than the concrete tensile strength. So that crack developed in the surface. Heat treatment such as post-cooling or pre-cooling was needed to avoid the crack.

Abstract

The use of technology in ring jewelry manufacturers in Indonesia is still very limited. Ring jewelers still use traditional methods in the process of forming mold patterns. This causes difficulties in producing ring jewelry that requires precision and high accuracy on each product. Unprecised wax pattern of ring jewelry can result in dimensional errors when product is manufactured so the  dimension is far from the size of the design. To avoid this, it can be overcome by using CNC machine technology. CNC machines can work consistently and precisely. For this reason, therefor, an End-Milling type CNC machines that has accuracy of up to 1/1000 mm is designed. The experiments showed that the results with high accuracy having standard deviation of repeatability of inner diameter 0.020736441, repeatability of outer diameter 0.020493902 and repeatability of thickness 0.043817805.

Abstract

This research was conducted to analyze electricity supply availability from the steam power plant at PLN Teluk Sirih. This electricity supply availability is also called the equivalent availability factor (EAF). The regular efforts made to maintain the EAF at PLN are still corrective, by repairing the damage that has occurred, and no systematic method has been implemented. Accurate analysis is required to achieve high EAF values and precision so that the problem's root cause can be resolved. This can be done by using the lean six sigma method. This method can identify waste and solve problems quickly. The methodology used is Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). The waste that occurs is a defect, which is the inability of the power plant to supply electricity to customers (PLN P3BS). The identification results show that the factors that influence EAF are boiler tube leak (41.46%), DS Phase S (20.45%), equipment vibration (5.85%), bottom ash system (5.39%), and other disorders (26.84%). The EAF calculation for the last two years is 70.93%, and the six sigma level is 2.05. The improvement design is expected to eliminate boiler tube leak and increases the EAF by 6.65%. Thus, the EAF value becomes 77.85%, and the six sigma level becomes 2.26.

Abstract

Fishing boats of fiberglass materials require special care to make the vessel more durable. In the field, often found paint coating ships that have faded and peeling within a few years. Yet it is expected that the vessel can last long to continue to maximize the catch of fishermen. Most of the treatments found on fiberglass boats are light treatments, such as cracks. Cracks from gelcoat and scratches due to impact are maintenance work performed at boat or boat building. The key to fiberglass treatment is how to keep the gelcoat layer of fiber shiny. As is known, layer gelcoat is a very strong layer. But over time, weather changes and exposure to sunlight, this gelcoat layer can fade if not treated properly. In order to avoid these conditions, the most efficient way to do that is coated fiberglass with wax or special polish. Selection of care products for fiber boats also cannot be perfunctory. Certain types of waxes that have anti-ultraviolet rays are highly recommended for treatment. By doing proper maintenance techniques, will make the life of the fiber boat more durable and still look shiny.

Abstract

In this paper we discussed the forward kinematic and constrain error of 3-URU parallel mechanism. The mechanism was composed of URU kinematic chain consisting of three parallel joint axes and two intersecting joint axes. The direction of parallel joint axis representing direction of force constraints acting on center of platform rotation. In this research was investigated the effect of error of direction of parallel joint exes on kinematic chains to the platform orientation and position of center of platform rotation.  It is also developed the formulation of forward kinematic of the mechanism. The forward kinematic was carried out by taking account geometric constraint of platform motion which is derived analytically by using software Maple 16. On the other hand, the constraint error was evaluated using the CAD simulation Autodesk Inventor. Based on the result, it can be summarized that error of parallel joint axes produced significant effect on error of platform motion especially for location of the center of platform rotation which is classified as uncompensated error. The formulation of forward kinematic was successfully derived which is confirmed with inverse kinematic and CAD simulation.

Abstract

This current investigation was conducted to study the aerodynamic characteristics of Savonius hydrokinetics turbine with semicircular blade-sharp leading edge. The influences of blade thickness and freestream velocity were simulated using ANSYS FLUENT with k-w SST model. The results show that the flow structure changes with increasing turbine rotation in which the flow complexity is formed at a larger rotation angle. The coefficient of torque and power for thin blades is higher than for thicker turbine blades and its values increase with the increase in the freestream velocity.

Abstract

This paper reports the result of an investigation of a fatigue failure of a helical gear in a reducer gear box used in roller press milling machine. Standard procedures in stress analysis on helical gear were used in failure analysis of this helical gear. It was found that the gear failed by fatigue fracture. Beach marks on the fracture surfaces were clearly visible. Detail examination of the surface of the gear revealed that extensive surface damage had occurred in the form of pitting and scuffing. Sub-surface damages in the form of spalling were also observed. Such observations indicated that the gear was under excessive contact stress during operation. Stress analysis did, in fact, confirm such hypothesis. Stress analysis has been conducted by using Niemann methods and Lewis equation. Finite element methods also have been conducted by using commercial software where the stress was obtained on the root of gear by modeling with pitting, without pitting, and matting. The results show that the working stresses on the root of gear were lower than strenght of gear material. It was proofed that the gear failure due to dynamic loading but not because of static loading. These surface and sub-surface damages leed to fatigue crack initiation followed by crack growth and eventual fracture excessive contact stress. It is showed that from contact mechanic analysis showed that Hertzian stress and shear stress at surface and at sub surface were excessive. It is concluded that the helical gear failed by fatigue fracture initiated by surface and sub-surface damages resulting from excessive contact stress.

Abstract

The development of composite materials in the automotive industry has reached the stage of utilizing natural fibers to pursue relatively low material prices with the same quality. One method for product formation is injection molding. This study aims to design the most efficient mold from a variety of shapes, dimensions, and runner types used with the help of SolidWorks software. The tool used to support the design of the mold is a low-pressure injection molding hand press with a barrel temperature specification of 200 C - 250 C, barrel volume of 270 cm3, and an out-of-nozzle diameter of 8 mm. The most efficient design is determined from three multi-cavity models with different shapes. This research produces a two-plate mold with multi-cavity modeling which has a low-pressure parameter of 1.89 MPa and the shrinkage factor is still within the standard range of PPHI material (< 1%).
