Abstract

Today's global supply chain has many risk factors. These risks include supply disruptions, supply delays, demand fluctuations, price fluctuations, and exchange rate fluctuations. Risks that arise and cannot be mitigated properly in the supply chain can disrupt the company's business processes in various sectors. Companies in the construction sector when working on construction projects face many risks during the project cycle, especially risks in the supply chain process. Partial risk management, namely only on construction projects and not specifically on the supply chain process, causes potential risks in the supply chain process not to be identified in detail, and mitigation strategies cannot be determined effectively for risks in the supply chain. This research was conducted to identify risks and determine appropriate mitigation strategies using the house of risk as a framework and a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process weighting method to select the best mitigation strategy. The research results showed that there were 26 risk events and 21 risk agents identified, and the 5 best mitigation strategies were chosen from the 10 formulated strategies for a mitigation monitoring system. Based on research results, the best risk mitigation strategy can be used as a reference for risk mitigation actions in the company's supply chain as outlined in the form of a dashboard monitoring system.

Abstract

approaches to a flood management strategy. One of the most important steps is identifying flood-vulnerable areas. A flood vulnerability assessment is necessary to identify the areas. Currently, research on flood vulnerability assessment uses different indicators to determine the flood vulnerability level. However, it is unknown how the number of indicators used to assess flood vulnerability affects the results. This research aimed to determine the effect of the number of indicators used in estimating flood vulnerability using the AHP-GIS method on the resulting flood vulnerability level. Therefore, this research analyzed the weight of each indicator for five scenarios using the AHP method. This step is continued using GIS to create an overlay map to calculate each scenario's flood hazard index. The indicators used to determine the flood vulnerability index include elevation, slope, flow accumulation, drainage distance, land use, soil type, and annual rainfall intensity. The results showed that the reduction of indicators from seven to six caused the areas with moderate and very high levels of flood vulnerability to increase, while those with high levels decreased. Meanwhile, the reduction from six to five indicators caused the areas with low and moderate vulnerability to reduce, while those with high and very high levels increased. It was also discovered that when the indicators were changed from five to four, the areas with moderate and high vulnerability increased while those with very high levels decreased.

Abstract

The objective of solving feature-based localization problems is to estimate the path of the robot referring to a given map. Thus, it is not surprising that robust estimators such as Smooth Variable Structure Filter (SVSF) are often used to handle this problem. Basically, its use is highly dependent on an accurate system model and known statistical noise. Where neither of these are available by definition. Therefore, the conventional way is not recommended and the use of an adaptive filter approach can be involved. Based on this and although only partially, Innovation Adaptive Estimation (IAE) has been considered to have a positive influence on improving the performance of the estimator. But not infrequently the solutions offered by this approach also lead to divergences due to unmapped dynamic conditions. Moreover, in this proposal, IAE is enhanced by applying Artificial Bee Colony-Tuned Fuzzy Logic. The hope is that there is quality control for the process noise covariance Q and R measurements by updating them based on the output of this ABC-Tuned FLC.

Abstract

Fan motors move liquids, such as air, in the gas phase from one place to another. The frequency of the fan blades, which are the main components of the fan motor, can vary. It is crucial to know the frequencies of each fan blade to avoid design failures caused by resonance. This research analyzes the effect of differences in the angle and number of blades on the natural frequency of the fan to avoid resonance with the motor rotation frequency. Modeling and simulation using the finite element method in the Solidworks application are used to determine the natural frequencies of the fan. Fans come in various configurations, with blades ranging from two to four, and blade pitch can be 25°, 30°, or 40°. Variations in the number of fan blades and changes in blade pitch show that the low mode shape does not affect the natural frequency, while the high mode has a negligible effect. The natural frequency of fan blades 2, 3, and 4 exhibits variations when operated with motors running at 25, 35, or 50 Hz. The findings imply that the fan blades' inherent frequency does not align closely with the motor rotational frequency, indicating that the design is safe.

Abstract

Diabetes is a disease characterized by a high level of sugar in the blood. The disease occurs because of a disruption in the metabolic system when insulin is not produced effectively and functions properly. High blood sugar levels, for an extended period of time, can harm a few organ systems, including the heart and kidneys. Moreover, it may cause blindness or death if it is not carefully monitored. Because diabetes symptoms are rarely seen, one of the factors that may cause diabetes is self-awareness. Thus, with Artificial Intelligence, this problem can be solved. Artificial intelligence studies how machines can function like humans. This study implemented a Convolutional Neural Network algorithm with (1) input layer, (2) feature learning layer, (3) classification layer, and (4) output layer as the architecture for AI. The accuracy of the developed AI model was measured from its precision, recall, and f1-score. The results show that the model obtained 90% precision, recall, and f1-score for real-world cases found in two hospitals located in Solo and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. According to the results of the tests, 9 out of 10 patients were correctly predicted as having a high risk of diabetes based on their eye images.

Abstract

GPC as a promising material, started gaining momentous attention from the researchers and construction specialists because of its advantages in using by-products from agriculture and industries to replace cement thereby reducing greenhouse gas emission. Workability and durability tests were carried out, so as ascertain the efficiency of the rice husk ash and rice husk as sodium silicate and super plasticizer, for solving efflorescence problem known with geopolymer concrete.  The factory-made sodium silicate was also used and compared with laboratory-produced, before addition of other geopolymer binders such as kaolin clay and fly ash. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) scrutiny that delivers quantitative data on the specific surface area as well as porosity dispersal of solid materials revealed that correlation coefficient of RHA (0.994) was higher than that of cement (0.991).  Besides, RHA has higher surface area (250.023 m3/g) than the cement utilized which stood at 211.49 m3/g. Though the c constant of cement exceeds the RHA values, RHA can serve as good pozzolanic material and cement substitute. It is seen that the workability of laboratory-produced sodium silicate and superplasticizer geopolymer concrete was enhanced significantly compared to that of prior geopolymer systems. It is observed that the workability of the geopolymer concrete was considerably enhanced compared to that of orthodox geopolymeric systems, especially at 2.5% rice-husk created superplasticizer and higher content of laboratory-produced sodium silicate.

Abstract

One of the manufacturing industries for making solvent-based and water-based paints is located in the Cikarang area, West Java. This paint company is experiencing an increase in production due to a large number of requests for various products. The company's level of cleanliness in maintaining quality and reducing waste of operational costs is the key to the company's success in becoming an international standard company. Every year the company incurs the cost of purchasing a cleaning agent imported from Norway because it is a basic requirement in material inventory to meet customer satisfaction. The purpose of this research is to reduce the wasted costs of purchasing cleaning agents originating from imports, maintaining 5S conditions, and fulfilling customer satisfaction. The method used in this study is a combination of the lean thinking method and the most effective A3 problem-solving method which can help create consistent, clear, and structured problem-solving documentation. This research found that there is a very large cost to buy a cleaning agent in 2021 of IDR 114,331,430 which must be spent by companies in using cleaning agents. The results of this study found that there was a reduction in the cost of purchasing a cleaning agent in 2022 to IDR 4,897,900. Therefore this paint company gets operational cost savings in purchasing cleaning agent materials of 97.71%.

Abstract

This work investigated the performance of class C fly ash-cement- based geopolymer paste with different mixing procedures and under steam curing. The geopolymer paste containing class C fly ash was mixed with cement up to 20% at 10% increments. The alkaline activator was prepared 24 hours before mixing by blending Na2SiO3 and NaOH 14 M with a ratio of 2:1. Two methods of mixing procedure were used in this study to mix the geopolymer pastes. Steam curing at 90 ± 5 °C for six hours was applied. Setting time, compressive strength and strength activity index were used in this research for performance analysis. According to the results, the setting time of geopolymer paste containing 100% C type flash ash is delayed by the use of method 2 in the mixing process. While, adding cement content speeds up both the initial and final setting times of fresh geopolymer pastes. Additional water at the early stage in the mixing process (method 2) generated excellent polymerization at longer curing periods. In contrast, the potentially agglomeration of fly ash and cement in the polymer matrix was observed after applying method 1, which is the reason for the lower strength of geopolymer paste. The strength activity index (SAI) of geopolymer paste containing cement increased at early curing periods for all mixing methods. The early-stage benefits of steam curing are achieved in geopolymer pastes containing 0% cement when mixed using techniques 1 and 2.

Abstract

Vibration analysis identifies emerging vibration problems before they become unmanageable and cause unforeseen delays. This can be accomplished by monitoring engine vibration continuously or at specific intervals. Unbalance is a common vibration issue caused by the center of mass shifting from the center of rotation, leading to misalignment and excessive vibration between shafts. To prevent this, manual monitoring is required, but it is time-consuming. Therefore, intelligent system monitoring is necessary to save time. Using a large amount of vibration, spectrum, and phase data as input, this project aims to develop a diagnostic application for motor problems based on vibration signals. Fuzzy logic is implemented in MATLAB software to process a considerable amount of input data for all vibrations, spectrums, and phases using the fuzzy logic method. A vibration meter is used to collect vibration data from the demonstration machine. All input data will be processed by the fuzzy system based on predefined fuzzy rules that must provide accurate results for the actual operating conditions of the demonstration machine. Conducting experiments will help the intelligent system correctly detect damage from misalignment and imbalance. The intelligent fuzzy logic system can accurately diagnose damage caused by misalignment and unbalance on the demonstration machine.

Abstract

Many vibration isolators, such as passive vehicle mounting devices, have an inflexible stiffness. This article presents the development of a smart material vibration isolator based on magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), which has adjustable stiffness to minimize unwanted vibrations. The objective of this research is to first create a design for the vibration isolator, and then simulate a magnetic circuit. The Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software was employed to simulate the effectiveness of the electromagnetic circuit in generating a magnetic field through the vibration isolator by employing MRE samples. Pure iron was chosen as the material for the housing of the vibration isolator test rig. To attain an optimal magnetic field, an inventive design of the magnetic circuit, including examination of the wire type, size, and coil turn number, along with the housing material of the test rig, was performed. The study analyzed the performance of the MRE vibration isolator concerning different current inputs in the coil. The results indicate that the stiffness value of the MRE-based isolator system can be more effectively modified by increasing the current inputs. Therefore, a larger current input leads to a greater change in stiffness.
