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

In machine learning, predicting the mechanical properties of stainless steel, such as Yield Strength (YS), Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), and Elongation (EL), requires many input variables, such as chemical composition, type of heat treatment, heating duration, and cooling method. However, the complexity and number of these variables can increase processing time and reduce model accuracy. This study aims to explore the impact of selecting the most influential input variables to improve prediction accuracy. We compared two feature selection techniques: Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), which systematically removes less important features, and Information Gain (IG), which measures the contribution of each variable to the target prediction. Both techniques were implemented using the random forest algorithm, chosen for its robustness in handling large datasets and its ability to capture complex interactions between variables. Parameter optimization was performed using a grid search. The analysis showed that the RFE-based model outperformed both the IG-based model and the model without feature selection. In predicting YS, RFE identified 13 out of 21 influential variables, achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 9.91, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 14.20, and R-squared value of 0.89. For UTS, RFE identified 8 out of 21 variables, with an MAE of 12.89, RMSE of 16.97, and R-squared of 0.97. In predicting EL, RFE identified 14 out of 21 variables, with an MAE of 3.82, RMSE of 6.10, and an R-squared value of 0.85. The high R-squared values (0.85) across all properties indicate the model’s strong predictive capabilities, making it suitable for practical applications in predicting the mechanical properties of stainless steel.

Abstract

The sprocket is a crucial motorcycle component that transferengine rotational force to the wheels. However,  friction between the chain and gear during the operation leads to wear. This study aimed to enhancethe surface hardness of sprocket by combining  pack carburizing and shot peening. Pack carburizing was conducted by embedding the sprocket in coconut shell charcoal powder and heating it to 850°C for 60 minutes,followed by quenching in water at 30°C. Shot peening was then applied to the carburized specimen using steel ball particles for 20 minutes at a pressure of 8 bar. Hardness testing was performed according tothe ASTM 92-17 Vickers method, andmicrostructuralanalysis was conducted  using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) on the best specimen results. The hardness values for untreated, carburized, and carburized + shot peened specimens were found to be 284, 302, and 424 VHN, respectively. In this study, transverse observation of the specimen showed a carburizing layer with a depth of about 8 µm. The phenomenon was related to the increase in hardness of the carburized specimen, while the effect of shot peening for 20 minutes was about 100 µm from the surface of the specimen. This caused the hardness of the combined carburizing and shot peening specimen with a pressure of 8 bar for 20 minutes to increase hardness by about 49% compared to the non-treatment specimen. This combination significantly improved the surface hardness, potentially increasing the sprocket’s wear resistance and operational lifespan.Transverse analysis revealed an approximately 8 µmdeeo carburized layer, with the shot peening effect penetrating about 100µm from the surface. This treatment combination increased the specimen’s, suggesting a significant improvement in surface hardness, wear resistance, and overall durability of the sprocket.

Abstract

The beverage industry is experiencing significant growth; however, the handling and management of can waste, particularly aluminum can waste, still rely on manual processes, such as stepping on or striking the can with a tool to reduce its volume. Therefore, there is a need for innovation to design and create a small-scale can pressing machine. The development of this machine employs the Ulrich method, which encompasses the identification of machine requirements, concept selection, and design embodiment. Based on the results obtained using the Ulrich method, design concept 2 was selected. Subsequently, planning, calculations, and analyses were conducted to identify the core and supporting components necessary for constructing the machine. The next stage involved creating detailed drawings of the machine, followed by fabrication and testing. During testing, the can pressing machine demonstrated the ability to exert a maximum load of 20,110.5 N, with a torque of 220.990 Nm and a power output of 0.5 HP (356.95 watts). The PZEM-004T microcontroller was utilized to monitor the operational control of the electric motor. The machine successfully reduced the volume of cans by 56.5%, decreasing their initial height from 345 mm to 150 mm, and it is capable of processing 75 cans per minute.

Abstract

Air Conditioners (AC) are essential electronic products for residential and industrial buildings in tropical countries or during warm weather in general. The penetration ratio of electronic Air Conditioners (AC) has been increasing every year. Data collection and processing were conducted directly by the author through observation, measurement, and calculation on the heat exchanger production of Air Conditioners (AC). In the production cost of Air Conditioners (AC), the heat exchanger accounts for the second highest cost after the compressor making up 19% of the total cost. The high cost is caused by pipe leaks, with a percentage of 73.7%. This research aims to analyze the improvement of Air Conditioner (AC) production quality using the Six Sigma method. The defect rate in the heat exchanger, evaluated through the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) method originating from Six Sigma, was found to be 1,144.8 defects per million opportunities. Further analysis was conducted with the Failure Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) methods. This research was conducted at XYZ company by conducting interviews and observations for 3 months. FMEA and FTA analysis resulted in the top two failure risks based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN): flaring diameter too big and unstable brazing skill. In the manual brazing process, it was found that work by operators with level A certification produced 9% below standard outcomes. An improvement was obtained by changing the punch flaring size to 8.5mm and conducting skill certification and training for brazing operators. The results of the proposed improvement implementation led to a reduction in the DPMO value to 403.35, equivalent to a decrease of 64.7%. The defect ratio in production decreased by 38.1%, exceeding the previous target of 26.2%, equivalent to $31.96/month/unit. The results of this study are horizontal, allowing the implementation of improvements made in the heat exchanger production process to be expanded to other cooling electronic production processes.

Abstract

The design and material selection used during the manufacturing process significantly impact the environment due to their energy consumption and waste production, including carbon dioxide emissions. This study used the LCA tool eco-indicator to evaluate the environmental impact of producing clothes-hanging machines. Two different press tool designs were analyzed, each using other materials for punch and die. The results indicate that the press tool design 2 with SKD11 punch and die is suitable for long-term use but emits the highest CO2 emissions at 102.33 kg CO2. In contrast, the press tool design 1 with S45C punch and die is suitable for short-term use but emits the lowest CO2 emissions at 69.72 kg CO2.

Abstract

Indonesia produces many types of textile products, such as clothing and custom fabrics often with unique patterns. To generate the patterns, there are many methods, including eco-printing by pounding process. However, the process, which was later referred to as eco-pounding, requires much time and energy, which can have a negative impact, such as musculoskeletal disorders, on the human body. To address this issue, the present work proposes a machine that can help the process of eco-pounding. Shigley’s method is applied to guide the design process of the machine. The design and manufacturing processes of the eco-pounding machine are presented, in which three machine design models are first introduced and then analyzed for finalization by benchmarking method. Subsequently, a machine model that uses a so-called quad-cliff mechanism is selected for manufacturing and testing. As a result, the proposed machine can achieve the design requirements that were set. Three pounding movements per second can be obtained by the machine, with possible increases by an engine upgrade. This machine can be considered a prototype for a semi-automatic eco-printing process by pounding technique.

Abstract

The product of the gasification process contains several impurities, including tar, ash, CO2, and other contaminants. To achieve efficient syngas results, the syngas must undergo a filtration or purification process, which can increase its energy density. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the number of purification nozzles on the characteristics of the resulting flame, the duration of the flame produced during the gasification process, and the rate of heat absorption in the water generated from the syngas purification process. The water scrubber method employed in the syngas purification process utilizes an updraft gasification reactor. The biomass used in this study is rubber wood, with a venturi nozzle size of 0.15 mm and a pressure of 0.12 Pa. The tests varied the number of purification nozzles to 2, 3, and 4. The use of 4 nozzles had a significant effect on the combustion characteristics, resulting in a blue flame with a duration of 33 minutes. The configuration with 3 nozzles produced a flame that exhibited a mixture of blue and orange colors, with the blue flame being more dominant, lasting 38.2 minutes. In contrast, the configuration with 2 nozzles resulted in a bluish-red flame, predominantly red in color, with a duration of 45 minutes. The heat absorption rates in the water produced for the configurations with 2, 3, and 4 nozzles were measured at 539 J/s, 449.1 J/s, and 414.62 J/s, respectively.

Abstract

The extensive utilization of composite materials has spurred the advancement of diverse joining techniques suitable for components constructed from such materials. This study focuses on the examination of two specific types of joints: single lap and joggle lap joints. The specimens utilized were composed of unidirectional carbon fiber composite combined with vinyl ester resin, manufactured via the vacuum-assisted resin infusion method. Vinyl ester adhesives were employed in the bonding process, with the joint surfaces undergoing sanding treatment prior to testing. Mechanical testing was conducted on the specimens according to ASTM D5868 standard, employing a constant crosshead speed until failure occurred. The test results reveal that the shear strength of single lap joints surpasses that of joggle lap joints. Within the single lap joint configuration, a mixed failure mode comprising both adhesive and cohesive failure is observed. Conversely, in joggle lap joints, substrate delamination is prevalent, suggesting the predominance of peel stress during loading.

Abstract

Compact heat exchangers play an important role in the industrial world, one of their applications being in thermal machines to dissipate heat generated during mechanical processes. To improve the performance of heat exchangers, many studies have been conducted, including the addition of spiral fins, and the spacing of these fins on the outer surface. This study examines the heat transfer characteristics of the outer surface. The heat exchanger is made of galvanized pipe with an inner diameter of 20 mm and an outer diameter of 22 mm. It has a passage length of 300 mm with a sharp turn of 81 mm. The spiral fins are made of aluminum, with a thickness of 0.3 mm, a spiral fin height of 10 mm, and a distance of 30 mm between the spiral fins. The cross-section of the spiral fins varies, including options without spiral fins, without spiral fins, without intersecting spiral fins, with intersecting 2 mm spiral fins, intersecting 5mm spiral fins, and intersecting 7mm spiral fins. Heat exchangers are supplied with hot at a constant inlet temperature of 80C and a flow rate of 0.57 kg/s. The fan operates at speeds of 3.59 m/s, 4.45 m/s and 5.07 m/s. The results show that the highest heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficient are produced by the heat exchanger with a cross-section of 5 mm intersecting spiral fins, specifically 11,682.7 W and 604 W/m2.K.

Abstract

This article is the result of research on the effect of soaking coir in sodium hydroxide solution. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of the composition of coir on the flexural and tensile strength of the coir composite as an effect of immersion in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The stages of conducting the research are: (1) preparation of materials and tools; (2) treatment of coir and manufacture of composites; (3) tensile and flexural testing. Before being used as a composite reinforcement, coir was soaked in sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration (percent by weight) of 5% and 10% for 3 hours at room temperature 25oC. After that, the coir was washed with distilled water and then dried at room temperature for 18 hours. Next, we dried the coir in an oven at 90oC for 5 hours. After soaking, coir was used as a composite reinforcement with a composition of 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of coir. The composite was made using the hand lay-up method, while the flexural test specimens were made based on ASTM-D790, and the tensile test was based on ASTM D 638-03. Then the flexural strength test of the coir composite was carried out using the Shimadzu Flexure Tester with a capacity of 5 kN and a compressive speed of 2 mm/minute. It was concluded that the highest flexural and tensile strengths were obtained by immersing coir in a 5% NaOH solution with 20% coir composition, respectively 41.114 MPa and 20.265 MPa.
