Abstract

The development of digital technology for education is continuously conducted to successfully integrate digital technology with people's lives. This study aimed to develop an Augmented Reality learning media application for the Engineering Mechanics course, which is considered challenging by some students. Engineering mechanics, a discipline that analyzes structural analysis in compensating for the loads that work on a particular machine in scalar quantities, motion forces, vectors, and moments that require physical structural forms to analyze them, is considered challenging by some students. The Augmented Reality application was created using the prototyping method, which consists of three steps: 1) listening to the customer, 2) building/ revising mock-up, and 3) customer test-drivers mock-up. The AR-based learning media application includes usage instructions, developer info, learning videos, 3D AR object animation simulations, and exercise and discussion menus, which were tested as expected. The results of the black box testing indicate that the Augmented Reality-based engineering mechanics learning media application ran successfully as expected. However, users suggested improving the navigation speed by streamlining page transitions. The application provides an accessible solution for students as an alternative to traditional distance education, offering anytime, anywhere access to learning materials with longer duration.

Abstract

Various learning models have been developed and implemented in vocational education in the engineering field, but still have weaknesses, especially in basic matters such as one-sided learning and lack of direct industrial involvement. Moreover, learning in educational institutions is not supported by facilities that match those in the industry, but only simulation tools. Additionally, the media used in educational institutions is not as sophisticated as that used in the industry. This study is a literature review on Work-based Learning (WBL) and the formulation of WBL concepts suitable for vocational education in the engineering field. The results of the literature review showed that the implementation of WBL in various developing and advanced countries is very effective in developing students' competencies. Educational institutions and industries work together to improve the quality of learning to produce job-ready graduates. Industries benefit from the availability of competent and professional workforce who can develop their business for global competition. There are three WBL model concepts that can be applied to vocational education in the engineering field, including integrated student work, teaching factory, and industrial internship. The formation of student competencies can be carried out through a structured program, where students will gain experience and opportunities to gradually sharpen their competencies.

Abstract

CO2 gas is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that can absorb and reflect infrared radiation from the Earth's surface. Currently, the energy demand still depends on fossil fuels. On the other hand, CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels continue to increase and contribute as greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. CO2 capture is an effort to reduce the burden of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and is part of the Carbon, Capture, and Storage (CCS) protocol. The CO2 absorption process applied in the chemical industry is one of the CO2 absorptions using NaOH and Na2CO3 solutions as absorbents. This research aims to determine the effect of absorbent flow rate on the percentage of absorbed CO2. The method used in this research is the SLR (Systematic Literature Review) method to identify all available research. The absorbent flow rate variations used are 1 liter/minute, 1.5 liters/minute, 2 liters/minute, 2.5 liters/minute, and 3 liters/minute. The absorption process using NaOH absorbent is capable of absorbing CO2 gas with a maximum absorption of 95.52% and a minimum of 79.14%. Meanwhile, in the Na2CO3 absorbent, it is capable of absorbing CO2 gas with a maximum amount absorbed of 72.45% and a minimum of 35.47%.

Abstract

The frame is one of the critical components of a motorcycle. It needs to be robust, strong, and capable of withstanding various loads such as the engine, body, fuel tank, riders, passengers, and more. Apart from serving as a support for riders, passengers, and cargo, the frame also plays a vital role in connecting the front and rear suspension systems and linking the rear with the front wheel. This research aims to determine the strength of two material profiles, namely circular tube and square tube, in a comparison between AISI 1035 steel (SS) and AISI 1020 for the frame of an electric motorcycle. The comparison is analyzed through simulation results obtained using SolidWorks Research License 2021-2022 with the finite element method. The simulation results reveal that the most suitable profile and material for the frame, characterized by strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity, is the circular tube with AISI 1035 steel (SS). The data shows that the maximum stress occurring after applying the specified load remains within the yield strength of the material. Compared to other profiles and materials, this combination exhibits lower maximum stress, making it a superior choice. This study provides valuable insights into designing a motorcycle frame that can withstand various stresses while ensuring rider safety and optimal performance.

Abstract

The swing arm is one of the main components of a motorcycle that functions as a connection between the rear wheel and the frame. Under loading conditions, the joint area between the arm and the bridge experiences significant stress, leading to fractures in that region. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of installing gussets to reduce the stress that occurs at the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm of ELGO electric motorcycles. The research was conducted using the static analysis simulation method with Solidworks 2021-2022 Research License software. The loading conditions were simulated based on the actual usage of the electric motorcycle. The simulation results revealed that without the installation of gussets, the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm experienced stress exceeding the yield strength of the material. This would inevitably lead to the breakage of the swing arm and potentially cause accidents for motorcycle riders. However, after the gussets were installed, the stress at the joint area between the arm and the bridge remained below the yield strength of the material. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the installation of gussets successfully reduced the stress at the joint area between the arm and the bridge in the swing arm. This research outcome can serve as a reference for the design of swing arms for electric motorcycles.

Abstract

Heatsink is composed of square or circular-shaped base plates connected to fins on one side. Fluid flow within the heatsink typically occurs through natural convection, where colder air flows into the hotter fin region and exits through the fin tips. In this study, we conducted numerical simulations using Solidworks 2021-2022 Research Licence software to investigate three different heatsink models with distinct shapes, aiming to determine the most effective cooling rate. The thermal simulation results revealed that the heatsink design with square fins exhibited lower maximum temperatures, making it recommended for applications utilizing natural convection. Additionally, heat sinks with thinner fins have a larger surface area, accommodating more fins compared to thicker ones, which affects the heat transfer efficiency within the heat sink.

Abstract

Stability is an important aspect that was studied in ship design as it relates to the safety of the ship when facing ocean waves. The tourist ship needed to have a good image in order to attract tourists to use its services. Good stability of the tourist ship was crucial in enhancing the image of the ship and attracting tourists to utilize its services. This research aimed to investigate the effect of concave on the U hull to improve ship stability. The study compared the stability test results of two hull designs: U hull with concave and without concave. The stability tests of both ship models were conducted through simulation methods. The simulations were performed under two conditions: when the tourist ship was empty and when it was fully loaded with passengers. The simulation results indicated that the design of the U hull with concave had a positive influence on ship stability, leading to improved stability. The concave design enhanced the ship's ability to return to its original position when encountering waves. Even in the presence of small waves, the tourist ship did not experience instability.

Abstract

The paper mainly focuses on the design, fabrication and measurement on Zinc Oxide (ZnO)-based Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. The research problem in this study is difficulty on observing the electronic properties of ZnO materials to fabricate the high performance transistor design with non-toxic semiconductor materials. Even though the wide band gap materials of Group III and V possess high performance properties for fabricating the power electronics devices, the harmful impacts could not be reduced. The research solution for the problem statement in this study is emphasized on the non-toxic materials of Group II and VI-based high performance power electronics devices fabrication. The experimental studies of the device fabrication were conducted by Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) process in standard laboratory. The step-by-step procedures for MSFET device fabrication were discussed and the confirmation of developed device fabrication was completed. The approaches on all measurement were completed based on band diagram condition, quantum interference on metal-semiconductor materials, and current-voltage characteristics. The step by step measurement for fabricated device for the proposed structure could be confirmed by standard measurement techniques. The proposed design has been validated for the utilization of high performance applications. The physical properties and physical characteristics for measurement results were confirmed by the theoretical analyses. The numerical analyses have been completed with the help of MATLAB. All results have been proved by recent research works.

Abstract

The accuracy of mesh use determines the suitability of simulation results with experimental test results, therefore it is necessary to study the type and number of mesh used for flow simulation. This study aims to investigate the type of mesh and the number of cells that are appropriately used in the simulation of centrifugal fans using the Solidworks Flow Simulation module. The research was conducted by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results on centrifugal fans that have been carried out by previous studies. In this research, the type of mesh used is global mesh. The parameter of determining the number of cells is done by varying the mesh level because the mesh level affects the number of cells. In this simulation study, the boundary condition is set to one flow volume of 5 m3/h and a rotation speed of 92.362 rad/s. In this study, the total pressure and efficiency of the centrifugal fan are the things that are seen from the comparison of flow simulation with the experiment. Based on the simulation results that have been carried out, mesh levels 1 to 4 show results that differ significantly from the experimental results. At machine levels 5 to 7, the results are close to the experimental results, but the closest total pressure and efficiency values are at mesh level 5. The results of this study can be a reference for research that simulates centrifugal fans.
