Polimesin mostly publishes studies in the core areas of mechanical engineering, such as energy conversion, machine and mechanism design, and manufacturing technology. As science and technology develop rapidly in combination with other disciplines such as electrical, Polimesin also adapts to new facts by accepting manuscripts in mechatronics. In Biomechanics, Mechanical study in musculoskeletal and bio-tissue has been widely recognized to help better life quality for disabled people and physical rehabilitation work. Such a wide range of Polimesin could be published, but it still has criteria to apply mechanical systems and principles. Exceeding the limitation has been a common reason for rejection by those outside the scope. Using chemical principles more than mechanical ones in material engineering has been a common reason for rejection after submission. Excessive exploration of the management within the discipline of Industrial Engineering in the manufacturing technology scope is also unacceptable. The sub-scope biomechanics that focuses on ergonomics and does not study movement involving applied force on the bio-tissue is also not suitable for submission.

Abstract

To improve safety and normal operation aspects to be more economical, the NuScale type power reactor has the potential to be added passive cooling system technology. The technology is a loop heat pipe (LHP) with a wick made of a collection of capillary tubes. To determine the thermal performance of the LHP technology properly, the supporting analysis was needed before the experiment is carried out. One of the necessary supporting factors were to know the accuracy of measuring the temperature distribution on the LHP. The objective of this study was to determine the value of the uncertainty of the thermocouple used in the LHP experiment. By knowing the accuracy of the measurement of the temperature distribution, it is hoped that the resulting data is good and accurate. Data measurement was carried out using the National Instruments data acquisition system. The temperature distribution data retrieval was carried out under the condition that the LHP was in a steady state at the temperature of the hot water as the source of the LHP temperature of 35˚C, 45˚C, 55˚C, and 65˚C. Data collection was carried out within approximately 10 hours of the LHP experiment. The recorded temperature distribution data is then compared with temperature data using a well calibrated derived standard thermocouple. The calculation of the uncertainty value is carried out by statistical methods commonly used to determine the uncertainty of the temperature distribution measurement. The measurement results show that the average temperature value obtained is within the range of the standard uncertainty values of the thermocouple used. The uncertainty value obtained at all measurement points on variations in hot water temperature have value below the standard uncertainty value of the derived standard thermocouple used, which is 0.1°C. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the thermocouple used in the LHP experiment is feasible and has very good accuracy so that it can produce accurate and good LHP temperature distribution data.

Abstract

Recently, composite materials have attracted the attention of researchers because of their advantages. The utilization of composite materials is widely used in various industrial fields, including in the automotive industry which is used as a car bumper. A car bumper composite material must be resistant to shock loads and good in energy absorption. Due to this, the composite material will be subjected to an impact test. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in fiber volume fraction on the impact strength of laminated composites with a polyester matrix with sugar palm fiber (SPF) reinforcement with fiber orientation direction: random and woven. Composite fabrication was carried out using the hand layup and press molding methods with variations in fiber volume fractions of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%. Then the Charpy impact test was carried out with ASTM D-6110 standard and analyzed the fracture morphology. The test results show that increasing the fiber volume fraction up to 40% can increase the impact strength. However, the impact strength decreased at 50% and 60% fiber volume fraction. The results of the largest impact test were obtained at the 40% fiber volume fraction of 0.62 J/mm2 while the lowest value at the 20% fiber volume fraction was 0.42 J/mm2. The increase in the impact test value can be due to the uniform distribution of the load by the matrix to the fiber. Based on the morphological analysis carried out through macro photos of the shape of the fracture and the cross-section of the fracture, the results of the impact test showed that fibrous fractures occurred while on the cross-section of the fracture delamination and fiber pullout appeared.

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the efforts to reduce dependence on fuel oil developed as an environmentally friendly alternative fuel in Indonesia. The addition of coconut shell oil will change the biodiesel properties and engine performance. This study aims to determine the physical properties and performance of fuel in diesel engines due to the addition of coconut shell oil. Several methods were applied to test the physical properties of biodiesel, namely: viscosity, density, cetane number, and calorific value. Meanwhile, the parameters for engine performance testing include torque, power, and specific fuel consumption. Biodiesels used were CS-20 and CS-40 for physical properties tests, and CS-10, CS-15, and CS-20 for engine performance tests. The results found that CS-20 had density of 842 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity of 3.958 mm2/s, cetane number of 62.4, flash point of 305.06°C, and heating value of 43,681.72 kJ/kg. For CS-40, the density was 867 kg/m3, the kinematic viscosity was 1.773 mm2, and the calorific value was 43,390.74 kJ/kg. Based on the results of the diesel engine performance test, the highest torque value was 31.487 Nm on Dexlite at 967 rpm rotation with a mass of 9.51 kg, while the highest power was 4.021 kW on Dexlite at 1752 rpm rotation and torque of 21.919 Nm. The best specific fuel consumption on Dexlite at 3563 rpm rotation used 0.527 liters/kWh. In conclusion, the addition of coconut shell oil to Dexlite reduces energy as the calorific value decreases. Furthermore, it is proven that due to the addition of coconut shell oil, the engine performance is decreasing.

Abstract

The mechanical properties of stainless steel at high temperatures are important parameters of the refractory design of stainless-steel structures. In this study, the mechanical properties of SS304 cold-drawn austenitic stainless grade at high temperature and room temperature were investigated experimentally. Thermal strain testing and total deformation of temperature transient conditions were carried out. The young modulus of maximum tensile is determined and the yield strength is determined using the 0.2% offset method. Temperature variables in this test are 25 °C, 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C. In the thermal tensile test results, the specimen at 25 ° C has the highest ultimate voltage (σu), which is 698.33 MPa. Effect of temperature on the strength of SS304 stainless grade dramatically in the temperature range 700 °C. High temperatures reduce steel properties to a relatively greater degree, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of stainless steel SS304 grade followed by relatively low steel ductility capabilities. SEM results explain that the formation of ε-martensite resulting from cold plastic deformation can lead to failure of the material at the total deformation of transient temperatures at low temperatures. The high chromium (Cr) content (~18%. wt) in grade CD 304 SS can be the main trigger for the formation of Cr-carbide precipitates formed in austenite grains or grain boundaries.

Abstract

The welding repair process greatly affects the procedure of a welding process to be able to obtain the results of a connection that is safe and in accordance with its provisions. The strength of the welded joint must be considered and ensured that its strength is at least close to the original strength of the material used. In a welding process, errors or omissions are often made accidentally by the welder or the work environment and the selection of welding variable parameters is not appropriate so that welding defects occur. Welding defects can affect the strength of the weld joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of welding repair on the mechanical properties of ASTM A36 material. The material used in conducting this research and testing is ASTM A36 steel plate. Welding was carried out on 4 specimens with the method without repair, repair 1x, repair 2x and repair 3x. Based on the test results, the number of repairs greatly affects the strength of the material connection. The highest maximum tensile strength value in 1 repair specimen is 501.90 Mpa and the lowest is in unwelded material or base metal of 467.97 Mpa. The results of the highest hardness test on the repair material 1 time of 30.83 HRC in the weld metal area and the lowest hardness value on the repair specimen 3 times in the HAZ area of 21 HRC. The results of the macro photo test on each specimen did not detect any welding defects on the inside of the welded material. the largest HAZ width in the 3 times repair material is 21.5 mm and the smallest HAZ width in the specimen without repair is 18 mm
