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

Nypa fruticans (Arecaceae) is a tropical mangrove plant with potential as a natural biomaterial due to its galactomannan content, a water-soluble hetero-poly-saccharide suitable as a base material for bio-ink. This study aims to evaluate the potential of Nypa fruticans extract as a sustainable natural biomaterial for scaffold fabrication using 3D bio-printing technology. To optimize its mechanical and structural properties, glycerol and sorbitol were added as plasticizing agents. The research methods consist of (a) maceration method extraction of Nypa fruticans fruit, subsequent characterization by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis, (b) formulation of biomaterials with glycerol and sorbitol at varying concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%), and (c) scaffold fabrication using 3D bio-printing. The scaffolds were then assessed for printed line width, density, and porosity. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of hydroxyl (O–H) functional groups at 3600–3300 cm⁻¹, while GC–MS detected 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, indicating polysaccharide derivatives consistent with galactomannan content. The addition of sorbitol significantly influenced the physical properties and printability of the formulated bio-ink, with the optimal composition obtained at 85% Nypa fruticans extract and 15% sorbitol. This formulation successfully produced stable CAD-based scaffold architectures with cubic and rhombic pore configurations, achieving precise deposition widths (±1.18 mm) relative to the 0.5-mm nozzle diameter. An increased sorbitol concentration of 15% correlated with higher scaffold density (up to 0.971 g/cm3) and reduced porosity (down to 0.436). These findings demonstrate the potential of Nypa fruticans extract as an efficient and sustainable natural bio-ink for tissue engineering applications.Study of characterization of natural biomaterials Nypa fruticans extract for scaffold fabrication using 3D bio-printing method

Abstract

Titanium and its alloys are extensively applied in biomedical due to their light weight, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, conventional alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V possess a high elastic modulus (~110 GPa), much greater than that of natural bone (10-30 GPa), leading to stress shielding and delayed bone healing. To overcome this limitation, β-type titanium alloys with lower modulus have been developed, including Ti-12Cr, which is intended for spinal fixation implants. Previous studies have reported frequent surface cracking in HA layers, potentially reducing implant durability. In this study, bio-HA derived from scales of ikan kakap putih (Lates calcarifer), an abundant fishery by-product, was applied as a coating suspension. The natural collagen present in the scales was expected to enhance coating adhesion. HA layers were deposited on Ti-12Cr substrates using dip coating with dipping times of 20, 24, 34, and 40 seconds. The results show that HA derived from scales of ikan kakap putih exhibits good coating adhesion strength. This improvement in adhesion helps minimize cracking in the HA layer. The highest adhesion was achieved at a dipping time of 20 s, with only 2% of the coated area peeling off. In addition, the dip-coating process produced thin and uniform HA layers, with surface coverage reaching 98.14% at a dipping time of 40 s. The improved adhesion of the HA coating is expected to enhance osseointegration and reduce implant inflammation effects in biomedical applications.

Abstract

Surface roughness is a critical indicator of machining quality, directly affecting the functional performance and service life of manufactured components. This study aims to optimize the surface roughness of AISI 1045 steel by varying parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Experiments were conducted on a FANUC 0i-Mate CNC lathe using Al-TiN-coated VNMG inserts. Moreover, the surface roughness was measured in accordance with ISO standards. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed the depth of cut was the most influential factor (45.21%), followed by cutting speed and feed rate. The Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio was identified as optimal surface roughness of 0.323 µm (N5 grade) at the parameter, with a cutting speed of 240 mm/min, a feed rate of 0.2 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.6 mm. The novelty of this study is the demonstration that Taguchi's design and ANOVA combined can achieve reliable optimization results with considerably reduced experimental effort and offer practical industrial deployment, including for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

Abstract

This study aims to develop more efficient activated carbon-basedsemiconductor materials through modification with phenolic compounds to reduce the energy gap and increase adsorption capacity. Activated carbon was modified by adding phenolic compounds, then characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis, SEM, and EDS to analyze structural, morphological, and electronic changes. The UV-Vis characterization results showed that the AC 70 + F 30 sample experienced a wavelength shift towards the x-axis, which indicates a decrease in energy gap and is confirmed by Tauc plot analysis from 3.60 eV to 2.98 eV. SEM-EDS results revealed changes in pore morphology and a decrease in carbon content due to the interaction between activated carbon and phenolic compounds. These findings indicate that phenolic modification effectively reduces the energy gap and improved charge-transfer characteristics, thereby contributing to the development of more environmentally friendly and efficient activated carbon-based semiconductor materials.

Abstract

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are functional materials with rapidly expanding applications in medical devices, aerospace, and smart actuators. Among them, Cu–Zn–Al-based SMAs are cost-effective but their performance is often limited by the formation of non-reversible martensite. This study investigates the influence of Si addition and quenching methods on the microstructure, martensitic transformation, and deformation behavior of Cu–Zn–Al SMAs. Alloys with compositions of Cu–27Zn–2.5Al and Cu–27Zn–2.5Al–0.3Si wt.% were fabricated via gravity casting and homogenized at 850°C for 2 hours. The samples were then betatized at 900°C for 30 minutes and cooled using two quenching methods: Direct Quenching (DQ) and Up Quenching (UQ). The UQ process involved reheating after initial quenching to promote atomic ordering and defect relaxation, followed by cooling in an ethanol+dry ice mixture maintained at –5°C. The results reveal that the Cu–27Zn–2.5Al wt.% alloy undergoes a β → β′ martensitic transformation in both DQ and UQ conditions, with UQ producing a more homogeneous and responsive martensitic structure. In contrast, the addition of 0.3 wt.% Si refines the α-phase grains and stabilizes the α + β phase region, thereby suppressing martensite formation. The Si-containing alloy deforms mainly through plastic slip in the α phase, whereas the Si-free alloy exhibits the typical twinning/detwinning mechanism of SMAs. These findings confirm that the combination of alloy composition and quenching route governs phase transformation and deformation mechanisms in Cu-based SMAs, offering insight for designing low-cost functional materials with tunable shape memory behavior.

Abstract

With the growing demand for energy and the need to transition to renewable sources, ocean wave energy presents great potential. The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) is a promising technology due to its nearshore applicability, structural simplicity, and robust design. This study systematically investigates the effect of flap thickness on the dynamic performance of a hinge-mounted OWSC using the Boundary Element Method (BEM).   The research models the hydrodynamic interactions and analyzes the effects of three different flap thicknesses on key metrics, including maximum angle deviation, angular velocity, torque, and power capture. The results indicate that all flap variations demonstrate stable oscillatory movement, but greater flap thickness reduces the maximum angle deviation due to increased inertia and hydrostatic pressure. A resonant peak was observed for all thicknesses at a wave period of 1.3 seconds, where energy transfer was maximized. At this frequency, the thickest flap achieved the highest efficiency (78.94%), followed by the intermediate (77.50%) and thinnest (70.77%) variations. The findings suggest that while flap thickness influences efficiency, the primary factor for maximizing energy capture is the alignment of the wave period with the device's natural frequency.

Abstract

Transforming common water hyacinths into handicrafts is a viable business opportunity in several regions across Indonesia. One of the crucial processing stages in producing these handicrafts is flattening, which reduces the plant material to approximately 0.2 mm in thickness to ensure optimal weaving quality. The objective of this research is to design an automatic water hyacinth harvesting machine that uses an off-grid solar power plant as its primary energy source. The automation system on this machine uses a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as the control system and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) as the interface and monitoring system. The designed water hyacinth flattening machine increases production capacity to 834 grams in 15 minutes. The size of flattened water hyacinths was 0.2 mm, following the flattening roller setting. The machine's average power consumption is 249 W, which the solar power plant system can supply for approximately 1.5 hours.

Abstract

Palm oil offers advantages as a lubricant due to its eco-friendliness, renewability, high viscosity index, good boundary lubrication properties, and compatibility with additives. However, palm oil is not very resistant to high-temperature changes, which limit its application in vehicle lubricants. This research aims to overcome the weaknesses of palm oil as a vehicle lubricant by adding Nonylphenol and Polyethylene Glycol surfactants at varying concentrations and evaluate thermal stability, engine operating temperature, and corrosion resistance.  The quantitative experiments were conducted with palm oil blend of nonylphenol surfactant and polyethylene glycol. Formulations containing 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% surfactant concentrations were evaluated through oven-based thermal stability testing and copper strip corrosion testing according to ASTM D4048 to determine the sulfur content in lubricating oils. From the test results, palm oil-based lubricant blends containing Nonylphenol (2.5% and 5%) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) (2.5% and 5%) showed a corrosion classification value of 1a, the best rating in the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standard. The best engine temperature test was palm-oil-based with 5% Nonylphenol.

Abstract

Tropical regions are characterized by a distinctive climate, marked by consistently high temperatures and significant humidity throughout the year. These conditions necessitate the use of cooling systems to ensure thermal comfort. Previous studies have shown that the Maisotsenko cooling system experiences a decline in efficiency when operating in high-humidity environments. Conversely, desiccant systems are effective in reducing air humidity. This study aims to design and experimentally evaluate the performance of a Maisotsenko cooling system under high-humidity tropical conditions, as well as the effect of integrating a desiccant system on its cooling efficiency. The experiments were conducted using a laboratory-scale fabricated test rig, consisting of a Maisotsenko cooling unit with a channel length of 180 mm and a desiccant unit with a channel length of 140 mm. Tests were performed using a standalone Maisotsenko system and a combined Maisotsenko-desiccant system. Air velocity was varied at 3 m/s, 4 m/s, and 5 m/s, with an air ratio of 0.5. The results showed that for the Maisotsenko system without a desiccant, the best cooling performance under high humidity conditions occurred at an air velocity of 3 m/s, achieving a temperature reduction of 1.7°C, a heat transfer rate of 1.4 W, a dew point temperature effectiveness of 27.5%, and a wet-bulb temperature effectiveness of 37.3%. In contrast, the combined system with a desiccant at 3 m/s provided enhanced temperature reduction, dew point effectiveness, and wet-bulb effectiveness of 2°C, 32.4%, and 43.8%, respectively. The highest heat transfer rate, however, was recorded at 5 m/s with a value of 1.9 W. The integration of a desiccant system significantly improved the cooling performance of the Maisotsenko system in terms of temperature reduction, heat transfer rate, and cooling efficiency. At air velocities of 3 m/s, 4 m/s, and 5 m/s, the cooling performance increased by 17.6%, 78.9%, and 366.7%, respectively.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effects of key process parameters on product quality and defects in the semi-automatic blow molding of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles at Malang State University (UM). The background of this study stems from the increasing demand for high-quality PET packaging and the limited number of direct experimental studies on semi-automatic machines, with a limited number of tests. Most previous studies have emphasized model-based simulation and optimization, while practical studies that observe the relationship between process parameters and defect characteristics remain rare. Unlike simulation-based studies, this work is based on direct field experiments under stable, industry-relevant machine settings to evaluate product quality and production readiness for mass manufacturing. The research method was conducted through direct experiments using 12.5 g PET preforms and a 330 mL capacity two-cavity mold. The main variables tested included preform temperature (70°C and 80°C), blow delay time (0.30–0.50 s), and low-blow duration (0.20–0.50 s). Bottle quality was evaluated based on thickness measurements, dimensions, and visual analysis of defects such as wrinkles, collapses, and wall irregularities. The results showed that a preform temperature of 80 °C and a low-blow duration of 0.50 s produced bottles of the highest quality, characterized by uniform wall thickness, flat bases, and minimal defects. In contrast, low-temperature settings (70 °C) resulted in high viscosity, leading to deformation and wrinkles. This optimal combination of parameters was proven to improve bottle structure homogeneity and reduce dimensional shrinkage to 1%. This study emphasizes the importance of temperature and blow time control in achieving stable, efficient, and mass-oriented PET bottle production, while strengthening the role of universities in experimental manufacturing applied research.
