Abstract

The distribution system of electrical power begins from generation and is transmitted to the load, namely consumers. In this distribution, it must be effective, efficient, and reliable. The amount of electrical power reaching the load is not the same as the amount of power generated due to voltage drop or power losses. This research aims to determine the magnitude of power losses in the medium-voltage distribution network located in Pasar Aceh. The research method employed is the analysis and simulation calculation method using ETAP 12.6 software. The study analyzes power losses due to load imbalance in the JTR distribution substation of Pasar Aceh. Based on the analysis results, the load imbalance in the Pasar Aceh substation has led to power losses. The power losses in the Pasar Aceh substation, specifically at the Side Transformer of Pasar Aceh, are 0.77% with a load imbalance of 16.33%. For the second transformer in the BNI 46 area, the power losses are 0.98% with a load imbalance of 30.33%, and for the transformer in the BLKG KOTTY area, the power losses are 1.17% with a load imbalance of 50.33%. Therefore, the larger the percentage of load imbalance in an electrical distribution network, the greater the resulting power losses.

Abstract

This experimental study examines the impact of speed variations on the 2.5 mm nozzle diameter in low-carbon steel laser cutting. The primary objective is to optimize the roundness of the cut by considering cutting speed factors. Through a series of experiments conducted on low-carbon steel plates measuring 200 mm x 200 mm, utilizing a 2.5 mm nozzle diameter with speed variations of 2, 3, and 4 m/minute, the research measures roundness quality using a digital caliper. Results indicate that cutting speed influences roundness quality, with the lowest deviation observed at a speed of 2 m/minute and the highest at 3 m/minute. The study also highlights that increased cutting speed and the use of a larger nozzle require higher gas pressure.

Abstract

This study was focused on the characterize the hibridisation of kenaf and sugar palm fibre in reinforcing the polypropylene matrix. Addition of MAPP (Maleic Anhydride Polypropylene) was used as compatibilizing agent with variation of 2%, 3% and 5%. The specimen materials were prepared with 30% amounts of fibres while the ratios between kenaf and sugar palm fibre are 10:20, 15:15 and 20:10. The composites were fabricated using melt mixer technique and followed by compression molding process. The specimens were cut according ASTM Standard D790 for conducting the flexural testing. After testing done, the results shown that flexural strength of composites tend to decreased when the content of MAPP increased. The ultimate flexural strength was attained at 2% MAPP addition of the hybrid composites with 20% kenaf fibres. Among the composites with different ratios, the hybrid composites that contain more kenaf fibres exhibit the higher value in flexural strength than the composites that contain more sugar palm fibres.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hybrid natural-natural fibre reinforced polymer composites become attractive alternative to seek the friendly-environmentally materials. Study on the durability level of the hybrid composites have the importance reason due to the role in application as structural function. This study focuses on examining the fatigue strength of polypropylene polymer composites reinforced with hybrid sugar palm-kenaf fibres. The hybrid composite materials were prepared by mixing the fibres and matrix with several compositions. There are five composition types of specimens that evaluated, such as 70:10:10, 70:15:15, 70:20:10, 80:10:10 and 90:5:5. The hybrid composites were composed by PP, sugar palm fibre and kenaf fibre. Furtheremore the tensile test were conducted to find the value of ultimate tensile strength for every specimens of hybrid composites. The fatigue test also were conducted with four level of stress i.e. 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%. The results show that in the lower level of stress, the hybrid composites with higher content of sugar palm fibre posses the better performance of fatigue life compare to the others

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of road conditions on the fatigue life of coil springs using the strain life approach. This approach is accomplished by measuring the strain signal in the coil spring at the front of the car with a strain gauge at the component's critical point. Three different types of roads, namely flat roads, uphill roads, and downhill roads were chosen to test the strain signals obtained. After analysis, it was found that the fatigue life of the coil spring on the downhill road had the lowest value of 1.52e+4 cycles before it broke. This value is 54% lower than the fatigue life on flat roads and 96% lower than on uphill roads. This result is due to the braking factor on the way down which puts a higher tension on the coil springs, reducing their fatigue life. This study can contribute to the automotive industry to consider different road conditions in the design and testing of their products, especially in critical components such as coil springs. The strain life approach has also been shown to be effective in evaluating the fatigue life of automobile components, which can help improve vehicle quality and safety.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of road surface contours on fatigue life of coil springs and lower suspension arm. In this study, strain gauge was affixed to the critical point of the minibus front suspension coil springs based on stress distribution. Strain signal obtained was analyzed using the Coffin-Manson, Morrow, and SWT approaches. From the results of the chemical composition test, it was found that the coil springs were made of SAE 5160 and lower suspension arm made of AISI 1513. From the results of this study it can be concluded that when the vehicle drive on the damaged road, coil spring and lower suspension arm received greater stress so that provide shorter fatigue life. Fatigue life of coil spring on rough roads is 16% lower than city roads and 7% lower than flat roads. Whereas fatigue life of lower suspension arm on rough roads is 27% lower than city roads and 0.03% lower than flat roads. So that the coil spring components fail faster than the lower suspension arm. This is because the contour of the road surface provides a vertical load so that it is in accordance with the function of the coil spring which works to reduce the load vertically while the lower suspension arm function holds the load when turning.
