Abstract

PLA has been developed to replace plastic because it is degradable. For more advanced applications, more research is needed on PLA. This study investigates the tribological properties of phenolic resin, nylon, and PLA/CNC composites under varying sliding distances and loads. Both phenolic resin and nylon demonstrate exceptional wear resistance and stable friction coefficients. PLA/CNC composites exhibit improved wear resistance, showing a 17% reduction in friction coefficient at a 3 wt.% CNC content. While the wear volume of PLA/CNC composites increases with sliding distance, the addition of CNC enhances PLA’s self-lubricating properties and overall wear resistance. The correlation between dissipated energy and wear volume confirms that higher CNC content significantly improves the durability of PLA. These findings suggest that CNC has considerable potential as an additive to enhance the tribological performance of PLA composites, making it a valuable material for various applications requiring superior wear resistance.

Abstract

Copper extraction technologies are constantly being improved including chemical oxidants. However, chemical oxidants slightly increase the extraction. Thus, this study aims to increase copper extraction using bacterial oxidation as oxidizing reagent. It also compares extraction results between standard leaching with sulfuric acid and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans with amino acids nutrient medium. Ore from Zhezkazgan deposit that contains chrysocolla, malachite and iron hydroxide was used as a sample. The ore was dug from a 6m depth. The initial sample was crushed, grinded, mixed, and reduced before preliminary biooxidation by bacterial culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. A mineralogical study of ore was conducted to confirm the copper contains, other compounds and phase composition as well. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were cultured within the nutrient medium of amino acid. This study chooses amino acid serine L, glycine, and asparagine to provide optimum bacterial cell of A. Ferrooxidants. Results showed that preliminary biooxidation by bacterial culture of A.Ferrooxidans increased copper extraction significantly. Further, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans that grow in the nutrient medium containing L-Serine have the highest effect on copper extraction.

Abstract

The industrial world needs professionals who are able to align the needs of the market. Its intense market competition not only demands the ability to work, but also the ability to create innovative products. Therefore, higher education must prepare excellent graduates with those ability. One of the efforts is to improve the learning model by implementing Project Tasks on Students’ Regional Potential. This study belongs to pre-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design, subjected to 30 students of D3 Mechanical Engineering study program. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the students who were taught by Project Tasks on Students’ Regional Potential got significant improvement from their pre-test to post-test scores. Consequently, it can be interpreted as there was an effect of the Project Tasks treatment given to research subjects. Therefore, this model can be referred as an effective model to adapt, implemented on learning for vocational higher education.

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of inserted resonators in designing microstrip patch array antenna for biomedical applications, such as respiratory rate detection. The purpose of this study is to analyze size and placement of resonator, and slots which influence the overall performance. The antenna was constructed by connecting two single microstrip patch antennas (11.7mm × 15.7 mm×1.6 mm) on an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant (????r = 4.4) to form (26 mm × 50mm × 1.6 mm). It achieves a miniaturized design of the expected resonance frequency with directional polarization, and provides good gain and bandwidth. The simulations were operated using FEKO software. The results and size of antenna were compared with references designs. The antenna was also designed for a 5-6 GHz frequency range, making it suitable for ISM band (Industrial, Medical, and Science) band range, low-power wireless applications, including Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, as well as robotic systems, low-noise amplifier (LNA), 5 G applications, and WiFi 6E standard applications.

Abstract

The performance enhancement of centrifugal pumps is continuously pursued to meet increasingly complex operational demands. Ongoing improvements in pump component design, particularly the impeller, are essential to achieving optimal configurations. The impeller is a critical component that significantly influences the overall performance of centrifugal pumps. This study aims to develop an impeller design that offers higher performance compared to the original one. The methodology utilized was Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The primary focus was on modifying the semi-open impeller type. Two modified impellers were developed with concave and convex design. They were simulated and compared to the original impeller configuration. The simulation results indicate that pressure distribution at the inlet remains similar for all designs. However, pressure variations at the outlet and differences in volumetric flow rate between inlet and outlet were found. The contour visualization of pressure and flow velocity for each impeller configuration shown from the CFD simulation results is further discussed, in terms of pressure distribution and flow trajectory pressure.

Abstract

This article discusses Students’ Regional Potential-based Project for Vocational Education in Engineering Field as a strategy to strengthen the quality of project-based learning implementation, covering project-based learning, a project task based on potential of student’s region, the seven standard elements on a project task based on potential of student’s region, the stages of the implementation, and its effectiveness. It was driven by the existence of enormous potentials in Indonesia which have not been optimally developed. Most of universities here are located in urban areas, while most of the students come from rural regions. The previous research discloses students’ positive perceptions toward this learning implementation. It helps them develop their soft skills, fosters better engagement with the learning process, and improves their 4C skills (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity). The approach is able to serve as a model for vocational education learning, particularly in the field of engineering. It not only provides students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge, technology, and soft skills, but also contributes to students’ regional development. This article is highly beneficial for learning implementation in Indonesia, particularly in vocational education, as well as a reference for further studies.

Abstract

This research explores the use of rubberized concrete composite as an innovative structural material designed to improve energy dissipation and enhance seismic resistance by incorporating recycled rubber crumb into concrete. A reference test model was constructed using normal concrete, while the remaining models were made from concrete in which a portion of the fine aggregates was partially replaced with crumb rubber particles. Lumped mass columns were tested on a shaking table using sine wave excitation to evaluate dynamic behaviour and seismic response with 4 Hz sinusoidal base motion. Acceleration measurements were obtained and analysed in MATLAB using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), allowing for comparison between normal and rubberized concrete specimens. The results indicated that as the rubber content in the concrete increased, the frequency of the columns decreased under base excitation. Additionally, three-dimensional finite element simulations of lumped mass column models were conducted in ANSYS. Linear dynamic analysis was conducted to assess the system’s behaviour when subjected to harmonic loading. In addition, resonance conditions were also considered to assess the dynamic interaction of the column. With higher rubber content, the acceleration response is reduced due to the enhanced damping and energy absorption capabilities of rubberized concrete, leading to a significant decrease in peak acceleration values.

Abstract

Access to clean water is essential for human life and a key target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. However, cities in developing countries, including Padang City, Indonesia, face significant challenges in meeting the growing demand due to population growth and limited water infrastructure. This study used system dynamics modelling approach with Powersim Studio 10 to develop an integrated clean water management system for Padang City. The model simulates the dynamics of population growth, water consumption, production, and distribution efficiency over a 20-year period (2022–2042). Several policy scenarios—optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic—were tested to evaluate their impact on water availability. The baseline scenario predicts a continuous decline in clean water supply due to increasing population, high leakage rates (11.99%), and water wastage (2%), which surpass the water production growth rate (5.01%). As a result, a water deficit is expected. However, under the optimistic scenario, with increased production (10%), reduced leakage (8%), and reduced wastage (3%), Padang City could achieve a clean water surplus by 2042. The moderate and pessimistic scenarios still result in a deficit. This research highlights the value of the system dynamics modelling in forecasting urban water demand and assessing policy impacts. The findings emphasize the need for integrated planning, combining technical solutions and behavioural change, to ensure sustainable water management and support the achievement of SDG 6.

Abstract

This study focuses on optimizing the scanning parameters of the Artec Leo 3D Scanner to enhance scanning accuracy by minimizing geometric deviations. The experimental design utilizes the Taguchi L4(2³) orthogonal array method to examine the influence of three scanning factors: distance, angle, and lighting at two levels. A 16-inch car wheel, chosen for its geometric complexity, was scanned under various parameter combinations. The results indicated that the combination of indoor lighting, a 45° angle, and a scanning distance of 100 cm yielded the smallest deviation (0.5%) and the highest signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio (6.02 dB). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the scanning distance contributed the most to the variation in scanning accuracy (65.09%), followed by lighting (34.64%) and angle (0.27%). A confirmation test with the optimal parameters further reduced the deviation to 0.4%, validating the effectiveness of the Taguchi method for parameter optimization. This study’s findings contribute valuable insights for industries that require high-precision 3D models, such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. The research demonstrates the importance of optimizing scanning parameters and offers a practical approach to improving 3D scanning processes. Future research can expand by exploring environmental conditions, scan resolution, and machine learning integration for real-time adjustments.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model, supported by flashcard media, in enhancing student learning outcomes in Manufacturing Technical Drawing at SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra. A quasi-experimental control group design was employed, where the experimental group used the STAD method integrated with flashcards, and the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. Post-test results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, achieving a higher mean score of 79.68 compared to 63.84, with an N-Gain score of 50.81%, indicating moderate improvement. The study found that the STAD model, combined with flashcards, boosted academic achievement and promoted more consistent and equitable learning outcomes. Flashcards played a vital role by simplifying complex concepts and enhancing student engagement. This study fills a gap in vocational education by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining cooperative learning and visual aids in technical education. The research offers valuable insights for educators in similar contexts, proposing a cost-effective and scalable instructional method that can be applied across various technical disciplines. However, the study’s limitation lies in its short-term implementation, and further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of this combined learning strategy.
