Abstract

This study aims to develop an alternative Bowden cable for the Kioritz SP850A 4WD agricultural machine to address issues of high cost, long delivery times, and limited availability of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cables. The research adopted a Research and Development (R&D) design, which emphasizes systematic product development through stages of needs identification, design, prototype fabrication, testing, and evaluation. Within the testing and evaluation stages, experimental research methods were applied to assess the mechanical and economic performance of the developed cable. The alternative cable was manufactured using SAE 1065 steel subjected to tempering heat treatments at 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C. Mechanical testing included tensile strength, hardness, elongation, and fatigue life, supported by statistical analysis using ANOVA and regression, as well as economic analysis. The results indicate that tempering temperature significantly influences mechanical properties, with the 300°C condition producing the highest tensile strength (1848.7 MPa) but increased brittleness, while the 400°C condition achieved the most balanced performance, including tensile strength of 1651.5 MPa, hardness of 50.2 HRC, and fatigue life comparable to OEM cables. Economic evaluation demonstrated cost savings of ¥295,850 per case, an ROI of 639.6%, and a payback period of 1.7 months. These findings confirm that the developed alternative Bowden cable is both technically and economically feasible, offering a practical solution to reduce machine downtime and enhance agricultural productivity.

Abstract

The demand for high-performance and energy-efficient electric vehicles in competitions such as the Kompetisi Mobil Listrik Indonesia (KMLI) and Formula SAE necessitates chassis designs that are lightweight, rigid, and safe. This study aims to optimize chassis performance through a comparative analysis of Aluminum A6061-T4, Aluminum A6061-T6, and AISI 4130 using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The research method has several main stages, with FEM process included pre-processing, solution, and post-processing. A 3D chassis was modeled in SolidWorks 2023 and simulated in ANSYS 2024 R1 under static loading. Results show that A6061-T6 provides the best performance with 0.528 mm deformation and a safety factor of 6.114. In addition, mass calculation shows that aluminum chassis (14.967 kg) is significantly lighter than AISI 4130 (43.514 kg), achieving a weight reduction of approximately 65.6%. The findings suggest that A6061-T6 offers an optimal combination of lightweight properties and structural integrity for competition electric vehicle chassis.

Abstract

The fiber stacking sequence in hybrid composites of Eichhornia and Kevlar Dupont Armortex significantly influences ballistic resistance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different stacking sequences of Eichhornia/Kevlar hybrid composites on ballistic performance. The materials employed were woven Eichhornia fibers, Kevlar Dupont Armortex, and polyester resin. The composites were fabricated using the vacuum bagging method at 14 psi for 24 h, followed by curing at 80 °C for 60 min. Two stacking configurations were examined: Armortex Eichhornia Armortex (AEA) and Eichhornia Armortex Eichhornia (EAE). Ballistic testing was conducted in accordance with NIJ 0101-07, referring to ballistic threat level NIJ 0123.00 (NIJ HG1). The results revealed that the fabricated hybrid composites were unable to resist MU1-TJ 9 × 19 mm bullets fired from a Tanfoglio Stock III 919 pistol with a kinetic energy of 885 J, leaving impact marks with varying diameters depending on the stacking configuration. Further observations indicated that the hybrid composites experienced fiber displacement leading to crack formation, fibrillation of constituent fibers, and interlayer delamination.

Abstract

This study aims are (1) evaluate the implementation of the UKK of the LSP-P1 certification scheme in Vocational High Schools, (2) determine the involvement of industry in the UKK implementation process, (3) determine the impact of collaboration between Vocational High Schools and industry in the implementation of UKK on increasing the employability of TVET graduates, so that strategic recommendations are generated for Vocational High Schools, LSP-P1, and industry in increasing the effectiveness of UKK implementation and increasing the employability of TVET graduates. This study uses an evaluation research method using the CIPP model, a descriptive evaluative approach that incorporates survey techniques and in-depth interviews. Respondents include the head of the expertise program, the head of the TUK, LSP-P1 assessors, representatives of partner industries, and alumni who have participated in the UKK. Data are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. This study was conducted in West Java at six TBSM Vocational High Schools. The results show that the LSP-P1 UKK is relevant to the needs of the automotive industry, but is not fully adaptive to the development of EV technology. Assessors and test materials are quite appropriate, but modern facilities and competency updates are still obstacles. The implementation process meets standards, but external oversight from the industry needs to be strengthened. Certified graduates have higher employability than non-certified graduates, but their readiness for new technologies remains limited. Therefore, the UKK (LSP-P1) certification scheme has proven effective in increasing the competitiveness of TBSM vocational high school graduates in West Java. However, it requires curriculum innovation, strengthening of facilities, and more intensive involvement from industry at every stage of implementation, including assessor criteria, competency test materials, assessment standards, and recognition of competency certificates.

Abstract

The increasing demand for energy efficiency and emission reduction in urban transportation requires innovative powertrain solutions. This study aims to design and analyze a parallel hybrid powertrain system for the Honda BeAT 110 eSP Scooter. The methodology involves integrating a 3000W BLDC Hub motor on a custom-made 6mm steel bracket arm, coupled with a 60V 27Ah lithium battery, without altering the main frame structure. Performance testing was conducted using a chassis dynamometer and on-road testing to measure fuel consumption, torque, and emissions. The results demonstrate that the hybrid system significantly improves vehicle performance. Fuel efficiency increased to 92 km per charge/refuel combination (compared to 38 km in standard mode). The electric motor produced a peak torque of 81.93 Nm, which is three times higher than the conventional engine's torque of 25.48 Nm. Furthermore, exhaust emissions (CO and HC) were reduced to 0% when operating in electric mode. Despite a 24 kg weight increase, the center of gravity shift remained within safe limits. This research concludes that a modular parallel hybrid system is a viable and efficient solution for urban scooters.

Abstract

Team-Based Project (TBP) learning has gained prominence in engineering education as a means to develop both technical competencies and professional skills through collaborative engagement. Despite extensive documentation of TBP outcomes, limited research has explored the qualitatively different ways in which students understand and experience TBP, particularly within the distinct context of mechanical engineering education programs that integrate technical and pedagogical preparation. This study employs a phenomenographic research design to investigate mechanical engineering education students' qualitatively different ways of experiencing TBP. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 63 students at various academic stages across two universities in Indonesia. Analysis followed phenomenographic principles, identifying categories of description that capture qualitative variation in students' understanding, rather than reporting frequency distributions. Findings reveal four qualitatively distinct categories of description: (1) TBP as task completion, (2) TBP as collaborative skill-building, (3) TBP as professional preparation, and (4) TBP as transformative learning. These categories form an outcome space in which more sophisticated conceptions encompass awareness of collaborative processes, professional relevance, and critical reflection. Persistent structural challenges particularly inequitable workload distribution and coordination difficulties feature differently across categories. The study contributes context-specific insights into how TBP is understood in a technically and pedagogically hybrid engineering program, with implications for curriculum design, team formation, and instructor support strategies.
