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 ensure the quality of welded joints in the hull area, welding testing is very important and must be carried out. But unfortunately, currently the quality testing process of welded joints was still limited to penetrant tests and lime tests. The purpose of this study was to obtain a portable welding testing machine that was able to obtain fairly accurate test results on hull welding defects using a vacuum system. The research method is experimental by involving data collection through field experiments, testing is carried out with the resulting weld defect research subjects and the length of testing time on 1G and 3G position welding. The results of the study by compared tests among Welded Vacuum Testing (WVT) machines, Magnetic Particle tests (MP), and Penetrant Tests (PT). The three experiments detected leaking weld defects, spark sparks, pinholes, overlaps, and undercuts. For test results with machines made, welding defects that were successfully detected were leaks in the 1G position welding workpiece and undercut in the 3G position welding workpiece. Air bubbles at a vacuum pressure of 0.2 bar are detected, meaning that there is a defect in the welded joint. This tool can be used in bilge testing.

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 development of coconut processing technology to produce coconut milk for small and medium industry until now still uses a separate processing machine between coconut grating and coconut squeezing, so it is considered ineffective and less efficient. Therefore, previous studies aimed at improving the performance of coconut processing machines into coconut milk, have been carried out with the design of coconut milk producing machines that are integrated between the coconut grating process and the coconut milk squeezing process utilizing centrifugal force. Research aims to manufacture, a functional test of the machine components, and a calculation of the production cost per unit of the machine. The results showed that the coconut milk production machine has a power of 0.75 Kw, a maximum shaft rotation of 2850 rpm and an engine dimension of 600 x 600 x 1200 mm. The capacity of coconut milk production machines is 10 liters per hour, visual test results show that coconut milk production machines can function well at 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm and 2500 rpm. The total production cost for a unit of centrifugal coconut milk production machine with a production capacity of 10 liters per hour is Rp. 4,760,000.

Abstract

Pengecatan adalah proses pelapisan permukaan dengan pelapis berbentuk cair dengan tujuan untuk perlindungan dan keindahan. Untuk tujuan keindahan, salah satu tolak ukurnya adalah kekilapan yang dapat diukur dengan gloosimeter dalam satuan gloss unit (GU). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memeroleh nilai GU optimum dengan memvariasi parameter yang berpengaruh. Eksperimen dirancang dengan metode respon permukaan (RSM) dengan desain Box-Behnken tiga faktor dan masing-masing faktor tiga level. Faktor dan level tersebut adalah tekanan (3 bar, 4 bar dan 5 bar), diameter nozzle (1.2 mm, 1.3 mm dan 1.4 mm) dan suhu pengeringan pada oven pasca penegecatan (55 oC, 60 oC dan 65 oC). Masing-masing kombinasi parameter diulang tiga kali. Mesin cat tipe semprot digunakan dalam eksperimen ini pada material St37. Pengolahan data dengan Minitab 18 menunjukkan bahwa ketiga faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kekilapan secara urut adalah tekanan, diameter nozzle dan suhu pengeringan. Nilai kekilapan tertinggi sebesar 50.9 GU dicapai pada kombinasi faktor tekanan 5 bar, diameter 1.3 mm dan suhu oven pengering dijaga pada 55oC. Sebaliknya dengan kombinasi tekanan 4 bar, diameter nozzle 1.3 mm dan suhu oven 65oC diperoleh kekilapan minimum serendah 22.7 GU. Analisis biaya menunjukkan bahwa biaya antara penelitian dan bengkel resmi menggunakan cat nitrocelullose memiliki selisih harga Rp. 205.908. Sedangkan perbandingan biaya dengan penggunaan cat polyurethane adalah Rp. 698.348. Dari selisih biaya dapat dilihat bahwa pelapisan dengan menggunakan cat polyurethane menghasilkan kualitas cat yang lebih baik serta nilai gloss unit lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan penggunaan cat nitrocelullose. Jadi, semakin meningkat nilai gloss unit maka semakin banyak biaya produksi yang dibutuhkan.Kata Kunci: Pengecatan, Kekilapan, RSM, Box-Behnken, Analisis Biaya Optimization of shine in St37 plate painting  with the response surface methodAbstractPainting is a coating type by application of liquid film onto a surface. Two main purpose of painting is protection and decoration. For the later purpose, a method to quantify is by its glossiness using gloss meter in gloss unit (GU). This research purpose is to optimize glossiness by varying the factors influencing the glossy using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design. Three factors and their variationas were: (i) pressure  (3 bar, 4 bar and 5 bar), (ii) nozzle diameter (1.2 mm, 1.3 mm and 1.4 mm) and (iii) the drying oven temperature (55 oC, 60 oC and 65 oC). The machine for painting was paint demonstrator with which using spray type on St37 material . Each combination of factor were repeated three times. Minitab 18 was employed for processing the data.

Abstract

The increase in the number of motorized vehicles has led to challenges in maintaining environmental air quality, combustion efficiency, and the sustainability of fossil fuels. An innovative solution to address these issues is the utilization of brown gas. This study aims to investigate the impact of introducing brown gas into the incoming air flow on the performance of an internal combustion engine. The brown gas flow rate varies based on the gas production rate resulting from variations in the addition of NaOH (10 g/l, 20 g/l, and 30 g/l) to every 1 liter of water in the generator. Gas production rates are measured using a flow meter. The influence of brown gas on gasoline engine performance is assessed through power testing with a chassis dyno test engine and exhaust emissions testing with a gas analyzer. The findings reveal that the highest flow rate of brown gas is achieved with the addition of 30 g/l NaOH during the electrolysis process. Introducing brown gas into the incoming air flow can increase maximum engine power by 15.5% and reduce CO exhaust emissions by 23.37%.

Abstract

SS400 steel is steel with a low carbon content (max 0.17 %C) or low carbon steel. SS400 applications are widely used in the construction industry, railway industry, bridges and others. The use of SS400 which is in direct contact with the surrounding environment will cause the appearance, quality, and usefulness of the material or material to decrease. One way to prevent and improve metal performance is electroplating. This study used SS400 carbon steel with chrome coating. The parameters in this study are a voltage of 3, 6, and 9 Volts; the temperature of 45, 50, and 55 oC; and the time of 20, 25, and 30 minutes. The Taguchi method L9(33) was used to design the experiments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows that factors of chroming time, voltage, and temperature contribute to coating thickness at the level of 40.615%; 24.951%; and 10.369%, respectively. The maximum thickness of 47.340 µm could be achieved when using combination factors of plating time of 30 minutes, at 9 Volts, and keeping the temperature of the solution at 50 oC.

Abstract

Jaloe Kayoh is a traditional canoe used by Aceh's fishing communities to catch fish in downstream rivers and shallow waters. The current Jaloe Kayoh design does not meet ergonomic aspects, especially in the user's seat position component. It is known from the results of distributing the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire at the initial stage of the study which was distributed to 30 respondents, that 9 out of 27 fisherman's body parts were in the "very high" complaint score. This complaint is also supported by data on the user's sitting position by bending the legs to form an angle of 70°, while the ideal sitting position is with the body upright and bending the legs at an angle of 90°-135°. Because this can lead to complaints that have an impact on the risk of long-term injury such as Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) so this study aims to design a seat for Jaloe Kayoh users according to anthropometric measurements to avoid the risk of long-term injury. The design of the Jaloe Kayoh stand was carried out using the anthropometric approach of Acehnese fishermen and the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method as a reference for researchers to determine the design according to the wishes of the user. The anthropometric dimensions used in this design are popliteal height (PH), buttock-popliteal length (BPL), hip breadth (HB), backrest height (BH), elbow rest height (ERH), and shoulder breadth (SB). Data Calculation from anthropometry produces the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile measurements, which will be used in designing the seat position for Jaloe Kayoh users. The three percentile values result in a new measure of the design; PH is 39.31 cm; BPL of 48.43 cm; HB is 40.31 cm; BH is 61.37 cm; ERH of 100o; SB is 52.26 cm. So based on the QFD method produced by the house of quality, it produces a design for the Jaloe Kayoh seat position that is in accordance with what the user wants
