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 NuScale Small Modular Reactor operates using a fully passive cooling system. Under normal operating conditions, the cooling water used to immerse the reactor has a temperature range of 30°C – 40°C. To reduce additional water due to evaporation, the use of a loop heat pipe (LHP) as a heat sink in the pool cooling water can reduce evaporation and increase the economic value of NuScale operations. To get a further basic understanding of LHP as an additional passive cooling system, a small-scale LHP prototype was made at the Center for Nuclear Reactor Technology and Safety, National Nuclear Energy Agency. This LHP prototype consists of several components, including a pool tub unit that simulates a pool of cooling water immersing the reactor. This research focuses on analyzing the mechanical strength of the pool tub before it is made and used as an experimental tool. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the mechanical strength of the pool tub including mechanical stress and translational displacement related to the level of safety and design safety. The method used is to simulate using CATIA software to analyze the mechanical strength of a swimming pool by making a 3-dimensional model according to an existing design, providing restraint on a 3-dimensional model, providing loads in the form of pressure and temperature on a 3-dimensional model, and testing mechanical strength. The simulation results show that the mechanical stress produced is 1.96 x 108 N/m2 at the bottom of the pool tub. The mechanical stress that occurs is smaller than the yield strength of the AISI 1040 Carbon Steel material, which is 3.5 x 108 N/m2. The translational displacement obtained of 0.844 mm is very small when compared to the dimensions of the pool basin, so it does not result in changes in the shape of the pool basin when pressure and temperature are given during the experiment. The conclusion of this simulation shows that the design of the pool tub unit is safe to manufacture and operate during the experiment.

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

 Bad weather and crowded vehicle lanes are often obstacles for cyclists during practice. Bicycle treadmills are the right solution to answer these demands. A person can cycle on a treadmill without having to leave the room. The rotation speed of the treadmill will be determined by the rotational speed of the bicycle wheels, so the bicycle will not fall off the treadmill. For this reason, this study aims to design a PID-based controller that will control the rotational speed of the treadmill so that it is in sync with the rotational speed of the bicycle wheel. The rotation of the bicycle wheel is represented by the wheel of a bicycle model that rotates on a treadmill, while the treadmill is represented by a model in the form of a conveyor. The results showed that in the first second, the conveyor speed was not the same as the speed of the bicycle model. Even so, after 1.5 seconds, the conveyor can catch up to the speed of the bike model. Despite some glitches, the conveyor can keep up with the speed of the bike model.

Abstract

The lightweight design of the rocket motor tube is a critical requirement for enhancing the rocket's flight performance. This study assesses the impact of wall thickness, cap thickness, and fillet radius on structural strength and the optimization of rocket motor tube weight using the finite element method with the assistance of Ansys software. A total of 12 finite element model variations, utilizing Aluminium 6061-T6, were developed and subjected to a uniform internal operating pressure load of 10 MPa. The design includes wall thickness variations of 8 and 10 mm, cap thickness options of 25 and 30 mm, and fillet radius dimensions of 20, 25, and 30 mm, allowing for a comprehensive comparison to achieve the required minimum safety factor while minimizing structural weight. The research concludes that increasing the fillet radius is a more recommended approach compared to increasing wall thickness and cap thickness. The results indicate that Model 9, with wall thickness, cap thickness, and fillet radius dimensions of 10 mm, 25 mm, and 30 mm, respectively, is the optimal choice due to its lightweight construction.

Abstract

Surface failure is evident in helical gear in off-road 4x4 gearbox,requiring the identification ofroot causes.Therefore, this study aimed to explore the factors contributing to helicalgearfailure in off-road 4x4 vehicles. Initially, crack in helical gear wascaused by manufacturing or material defects during production or the heat treatment process, manifesting as inhomogeneities in the microstructure or other imperfections. Crack propagation possibly occurred due to continuous stress during off-road 4x4 usage, influenced by factors such as excessive loads, vibrations, or extreme off-road conditions.The exploration process began with a comprehensive set of analyses, including visual observation, hardness testing, chemical composition analysis, microstructure testing, and stress analysis. Subsequently, the material composition of gear was identified as high-carbon steel meeting AISI 1080 standards. Although the average surface hardness value was 95.49 HRB, which was slightly lower than AISI 1080, the microstructure comprised pearlite and cementite. Surface fracture observations revealedinitial crackthat propagated, leading to brittle fractures. The average stress intensity factor (KI)was alsomeasured 54.65 MPa.m1/2, which surpassed fracture toughness value (KIC) of AISI 1080 steel at 45.5 MPa.m1/2.In conclusion, helical gear failure was directly attributed to the propagation of initial crack, thereby resulting in fractures.

Abstract

Bentonit adalah mineral yang cukup luas penggunaannya baik dalam bidang pertambangan maupun sebagai pengikat pasir cetak dalam bidang pengecoran logam. Secara alami bentonite ada dua jenis yaitu Na bentonite (swelling bentonite) dan Ca bentonite (non swelling bentonite). Melalui aktivasi menggunakan Na2CO3 terjadi pertukaran kation Ca oleh Na sehingga dihasilkan Na bentonite hasil aktivasi (activated Na bentonit). Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menemukan karakteristik pembeda antara Na bentonite yang alami terhadap Na bentonite hasil aktivasi menggunakan berbagai metode karakterisasi yaitu XRD, SEM/EDS, pengujian indeks Swelling, titrasi, serta uji reaksi identifikasi. Na bentonite alami diberi kode sampel A, sedangkan Na bentonite hasil aktivasi diberi kode sampel AC. Hasil pengujian XRD menunjukkan bahwa pada bentonite alami tersusun atas senyawa montmorrilonit dan senyawa yang mengandung Al, Si dan O. Bentonite hasil aktivasi tersusun atas senyawa montmorrilonit dan kwarsa. Hasil pengujian SEM/EDS menunjukkan bahwa Na bentonite hasil aktivasi memiliki morfologi permukaan butiran yang lebih halus daripada bentonite alami. Na bentonite alami ternyata memiliki nilai indeks swelling lebih besar daripada Na bentonite hasil aktivasi. Indeks swelling Na bentonite alami berkisar antara 29 – 35 ml, sedangkan indeks swelling bentonite hasil aktivasi berkisar antara 15 – 22 ml. Hasil pengujian titrasi mengindikasikan bahwa pada Na bentonite hasil aktivasi mengandung anion CO32- lebih banyak berdasarkan volume asam HCl yang terpakai dalam titrasi yaitu 2-10 ml dibandingkan Na bentonite alami yaitu 0,5 – 1 ml. Reaksi identifikasi anion menunjukkan pada Na bentonite hasil aktivasi terjadi gelembung gas yang tidak ditemukan pada sampel Na bentonite alami.Kata kunci : Na bentonite, alami, aktivasi, morfologi, indeks swelling, gelembungPhysical and chemical characterization of bentonite to distinguish natural sodium bentonite from activated sodium bentoniteAbstrackBentonite is a mineral that widely used both in the mining sector and in the foundry industry as a molding sand binder. Naturally, there are two types of bentonite namely Na bentonite (swelling bentonite) and Ca bentonite (non swelling bentonite). Through activation using Na2CO3, Ca cation is exchanged by Na cation resulting in activated Na bentonite. The study was conducted to find the distinguishing characteristics between natural Na bentonite against activated Na bentonite using various characterization methods, namely XRD, SEM / EDS, Swelling index testing, titration, and identification reaction tests. Natural bentonite Na is designated  as sample A, while activated bentonite Na is designated as AC. XRD test results showed that the natural bentonite is composed of montmorrilonite compounds and other compounds containing Al, Si and O elements. while the activated bentonite is composed of montmorrilonite and quartz. SEM / EDS test results that activated Na bentonite has a finer surface morphology than that of natural bentonite. Natural Na bentonite appears to have a swelling index value greater than that value of activated Na bentonite. The swelling index of natural Na bentonite ranges from 29 to 35 ml while it is of  activated Na bentonite ranges from 15 to 22 ml. The result of titration test indicate that the activated Na bentonite contains more CO32- anions based on the volume of HCl acid used in the titration which is 2-10 ml compared to natural Na bentonite which is 0.5-1 ml. Anion identification reaction shows that gas bubbles appear in activated Na bentonite while it did not in natural Na bentonite sampel.
