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

The shaft is a very critical part of a 2-kW induction motor due to its function to support other vital components, such as the rotor, bearing, and casing. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to analyze the shaft model. A meshing convergence test was conducted prior to the optimization. In which a mesh size of 0.5 mm and a tetrahedron shape are selected for the whole simulation to determine critical areas on the electric motor shaft (EMS). In this study, shaft optimization was conducted by using three manners in a sequential process, namely reducing the shaft seat for the rear bearing, modifying the step in front of the rear bearing, and then making the taper from the step in the previous process. This design modification was made to reduce the shaft mass and the maximum equivalent stress. At first optimization, namely replacing the rear bearing and its mount on the shaft, it succeeded in reducing the axle weight by 2,81%. However, the max equivalent stress increased from 30.347 MPa to 54.756 MPa which is located at the intersection of the stepped area, as well as deformation also increased from 0.002434 mm to 0.0026894 mm at the middle shaft. This drawback is overcome by changing the depth of the stepped area and creating a taper. In which the shaft mass can be reduced from 431.07 g to 408.20 g, as well as max equivalent stress is reduced from 54.756 MPa to 28.637 MPa.

Abstract

The Aims of this study are to determine  the effect of embossing roll roughness and forming temperature on the damage of menthol-coated aluminum foil on the packaging, and to determine the best temperature and embossing roll roughness on the quality of the menthol coating on the packaging. In this study, the independent variables were embossed roll wave (roughness level 1000,500.0 µm) and menthol foil temperature (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 °C) to be manipulated, observed, and measured to know the effect with the dependent variable. And because the established variable is the quantity of broken menthol foil packaging that is measured via way of means of calculating the share of period of menthol foil packaging this is torn as compared to the whole period of the foil. Based on the effects of the discussion, it can be concluded that the forming temperature and the embossing roll roughness affect the damage to the menthol packaging layer. In the ANOVA follow-up test, the lowest and best mean value for the forming temperature is at T12 or 44°C, not at T13 or 46°C because at these temperatures the menthol layer on the package is too hot and starts to damage the coating and the lowest and best average for the roughness level of embossed rolls is at E3 with a roughness value of 0 µm (fine).

Abstract

Composite materials is increasingly experiencing an increa- sing trend, the manufacture of composites currently uses a lot of natural fiber reinforcement, Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) fiber is a fiber that comes from oil palm empty fruit bunches waste that grows a lot in Indonesia and has the potential to be used as reinforcement in the manufacture of composites. With natural fiber reinforcement. The manufacture of composites in this study varied the fiber volume fraction by 5%, 15%, and 25%. Many previous studies on composite materials have focused on studying the physical and mechanical properties of composites. Even though damage to a structure or material is not only caused by static loads but also by dynamic loads. Vibration is a dynamic load experienced by material or structure, so it is necessary to determine the dynamic character of composite materials, one of the dynamic characteristics of materials is their natural frequency, the determination of the natural frequency in this study was carried out by using the finite element method in the ANSYS software. The results of the analysis in the form of tensile strength values and modulus of elasticity were obtained from tensile testing and dynamic characters in the form of natural frequencies and vibration modes were obtained from the analysis modal simulation process. From the results of the tensile test, it was found that the composite with a variation of 15% OPEFB fiber volume had the highest tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, as well as the results of the analysis modal simulation, a composite with 15% OPPEFB fiber, had the highest natural frequency value among the other two variations.

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an efficient and effective welding method with good-quality welds. Aluminum Alloy (AA) has been widely used for various automotive needs, including in vehicle manufacturing. AA series 5XXX is a type of material used for vehicle manufacturing because it has good strength properties even after the joining process. A similar butt joint using the FSW method was carried out on material AA 5052 and AA 5083. The results of the welding were then given radiographic testing to determine the general condition of the welds. The impact test was carried out according to the procedures standard of ASTM on the welding results to analyze the energy absorption and toughness properties of welds by getting the impact value of the welded joint, and then looking for the quantity ratio to the impact value of the base material. After that, the results and discussion were obtained that the welded areas showed different impact strength and absorbed energy value, which is compared to the base material the range is below with a decrease in value of between 34% and 68% of the initial toughness strength of the parent material. The reduction in toughness strength can be attributed to the influence of mechanical properties during the welding process. Nevertheless, the welds demonstrated good quality and integrity, highlighting FSW's efficacy in joining aluminum alloys. This research significantly contributes to comprehending the energy absorption and toughness analysis of FSW butt joints in aluminum alloys, crucial for vehicle body technology applications.

Abstract

The availability of numerous air conditioners in the market with various brands and types often leads consumers to be unaware that the purchased air conditioner may be inefficient in terms of energy usage. This research aims to determine the most energy-efficient air conditioner based on the brand of air conditioners available in the market. The research method consists of four stages: data collection, data preprocessing, data analysis, and interpretation of results and conclusions. The data used in this study was obtained from the database of the Directorate General of New, Renewable, and Energy Conservation (EBETKE), which consists of 11 AC brands sold in the market. Data analysis was performed using data distribution analysis techniques, standard deviation calculations, and correlation analysis between variables, such as the Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of this study show that the AC brand with the highest average efficiency value is Mitsubishi Electric, with a value of 16.36 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), while the AC brand with the lowest average efficiency value is GREE, with a value of 5.640 (EER). Each AC brand has a different average efficiency value, with significant variations. From the correlation heatmap results, the AC power does not appear to significantly affect the AC efficiency value, where AC with lower power tends to have higher efficiency values, but there are also AC with high power and high efficiency values. Additionally, the cooling capacity value also appears to have a small effect on the AC efficiency value, where AC with lower cooling capacity tends to have higher efficiency values. However, some AC brands have high cooling capacity values but also have high efficiency values. This study also shows a moderate correlation between the AC efficiency value and the AC's annual energy consumption value, where AC with higher efficiency values tends to have lower annual energy consumption values.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant focus on researching and developing Sign Language Gesture Recognition (SLGR) for people with hearing and speaking impairments. This is especially important in Indonesia, where there are approximately two million people with these disabilities. However, current research and developments on SLGR devices are specifically designed to understand only particular sign language systems, such as Korean Standard Sign Language (KSDSL) and American Sign Language (ASL), each of which has its unique gestures and models. As a result, no device has been developed to recognize the gestures of the Indonesian sign language system, known as Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia (SIBI). Therefore, this study aims to develop an SLGR device that can recognize and translate SIBI gestures into output images via text and speech. The development of the SLGR device in this study is conducted by using the Conceptual Design Approach (CDA) methodology. Where in this case, previous research on SLGR devices is first observed as a benchmark for comparison. Furthermore, the benchmark is used as the basis for the function, sub-function, and specification of the proposed design. Based on these stages of benchmarking and concept development, the study concluded that the final design of the proposed SLGR device is constructed by using 5 flex and Gyroscope sensors connected wirelessly to the Raspberry microcontroller. The device is equipped with a voice system and LCR RPi as the output system for translation. Based on the combination of these sensors, the device is able to identify any particular gestures that correspond to words and phrases in SIBI and translate them into speech via the designated speaker and text display on the LCD screen. To fully understand the performance of the device, experimental tests are conducted by analyzing the input of 26 alphabets in the SIBI system. As a result, the device demonstrated an average of 92% accuracy to convert sign language into voice and text, which demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed device
