Abstract

Vibration that occurs due to excessive impact can damage the construction of an object. Excessive Impact which usually occurs at certain times such as aircraft landing gear collisions with runways that can be fatal if the vibrations produced cannot be controlled properly. One method to reduce vibration caused by excessive impact is called PSMEID (Pre-Straining Momentum Exchange Impact Dumper), which in this case utilizes momentum from a period placed in the main period in which the direction of the style is opposite to the force produced by the collision. In previous studies the PSMEID system was activated shortly after the collision, due to the absence of a sensor mechanism to detect the vibrations and movements of objects that occur. In this case, this research tries to design a sensor system that can detect the movement of objects before an Excessive impact occurs. By knowing the position and condition of the object just before the collision, it can be predicted the time of the collision so that the time of mass release with a spring push that has been stretched (pre-straining) in the opposite direction from the direction of collision gives more optimal results to reduce vibrations from the collision. This study designed various of sensors system consisting of vibration sensors, acceleration sensors and proximity sensors that work in such a way that the PSMEID activation time is close to / equal to the time of the initial collision so that momentum and acceleration can be reduced. In the initial testing this sensor system only involves vibration sensor, where PSMEID can be activated 32 millisecond.Keywords : Excessive Impact, PSMEIDAbstrakGetaran yang terjadi diakibatkan oleh benturan  yang berlebihan (Excessive Impact) dapat merusak kontruksi sebuah benda. Excessive Impact yang biasanya terjadi pada waktu tertentu saja seperti benturan roda pendaratan pesawat dengan landasan pacu yang dapat berakibat fatal jika getaran yang dihasilkan tidak dapat dikontrol dengan baik. Salah satu metoda untuk mereduksi getaran yang diakibatkan dari (Excessive Impact) disebut sebagai PSMEID (Pre-Straining Momentum Exchange Impact Dumper), dimana dalam hal ini memanfaat momentum dari sebuah masa yang ditempatkan pada masa utama yang arah gayanya berlawanan dengan gaya yang dihasilkan oleh benturan. Pada penelitian sebelumnya system PSMEID diaktifkan sesaat setelah terjadinya benturan, karena tidak adanya mekanisme sensor untuk mendeteksi vibbrasi dan pergerakan benda yang terjadi. Maka dalam hal ini, penelitian ini mencoba merancang sistem sensor yang dapat mendeteksi pergerakan benda sebelum terjadinyanya Excessive impact. Dengan mengetahui posisi dan kondisi benda sesaat sebelum terjadi benturan maka dapat diprediksi waktu benturan sehingga waktu pelepasan massa dengan dorongan pegas yang sudah diregangkan (pre-straining) dengan arah yang berlawanan dari arah benturan memberikan hasil yang lebih optimal untuk mereduksi getaran dari benturan yang terjadi. Penelitian ini merancang system multinsensor yang terdiri dari sensor vibrasi, sensor percepatan dan sensor jarak yang bekerja sedekian rupa sehingga waktu aktifasi PSMEID mendekati/sama dengan waktu terjadinya benturan awal sehingga momentum dan percepatan dapat direduksi. Pada pengujian awal system sensor ini hanya melibatkan sensor vibrasi saja, dimana PSMEID mampu diaktifkan 32 ms.Kata Kunci : Excessive Impact, PSMEID

Abstract

Crack is a problem that frequently found in a structure. Identification of crack is a crucial aspect in decision making about structure condition. Structural Health monitoring has become a solution to detect the crack. Basically, if a crack initiates and propagates in a structure, the natural frequencies of the structure will change because of decreasing stiffness and abrupt curvature of mode shapes will occur. This research is developed from before research and aimed to identify the crack position in a free free cantilever beam experimentally by analytically using finite element model (FEM) and experimental modal analysis (EMA). First, a perfect cantilever beam without any cracks is modeled by FEM and identified by EMA. Then artificial cracks are created to the beam with single and two cracks, and FEA model and EMA identification is developed. The position of the crack then is identified by the change of mode shape curvature using curvature change index that obtained from the difference in mode shape curvature between the damage and the undamaged cases, and mode shape curvature based on curvature sensitifity caused by decreasing stiffness caused by cracks.The result shows that mode shape curvature has better sensitifty to detect the position of cracks, and results of experiment show good corelation with results of finite element analysis.

Abstract

Accident which is occurred due to the harmful gas always found in the mining location. One example of harmful gas is the explosive methane gas. One of attempt to overcome this problem is by using a methane gas detector robot that can detect the gas early before the mining process is conducted. This kind of robot can be control autonomously from a place which is located far away from the mining area. Therefore, the mining workers can work safely. This research is aimed to design and manufacturing a mobile robot for detecting a methane gas in the mining area. The research is conducted step by step by making the mechanical components of robot, manufacturing the electronic circuits and programming the Arduino microcontroller using the Arduino IDE software. Mechanical design of the robot is targeted for operating the robot in the off-road environments. The main control center of the robot arm uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller. Robot control system has a methane gas detector to sense the methane gas. The command signal is applied autonomously by using Android based smart phone, which move the robot to the desired area. The signal sent by gas sensor MQ-04 will ring the buzzer and turn on the LED of the robot whenever the robot detects a methane gas. The experimental results shows that the robot can detect the methane gas and robot maneuvering can be conducted successfully.

Abstract

Device that can convert sunlight into electrical energy is called solar modules. The solar modules are available in the market only for a static condition, while the light intensity always changes based on the incidence angle of the sun. To make the solar modules more optimal, it is always perpendicular to the direction of the sun so it is needed to use solar tracker device. Solar tracker device is commercially sold at relatively high prices. To solve this problem, it will be designed a relatively lower price one.  The design is also made to overcome the obstacles of previous studies and fulfill the wishes of prospective consumers. After the design is done, it is obtained solar tracker for solar modules with a control system microcontroller arduino uno ATMega 328. In this research, the testing parameters consist of; the angle of solar modules, solar radiation intensity, the output voltage of the solar modules and battery charging voltage when the load is given.  From the research having been done, solar modules with solar tracker have about  0.99%  angle deviation of  the ideal angle value, can increase about 65.68 W/m2 solar intensity and about 0.22 Volts battery voltage  with a fixed load.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas tentang analisis respon dinamik pada landing gear pesawat tanpa awak saat mendarat. Penelitian diawali dengan pemodelan mekanisme landing gear untuk mendapatkan harga kekakuan dan redaman ekivalen. Penurunan persamaan gerak dilakukan dengan asumsi sistem getaran satu derajat kebebasan. Respon sistem dihitung dari persamaan gerak secara analitik. Simulasi numerik dilakukan untuk mendapatkan grafik respon simpangan dan percepatan. Evaluasi respon sistem dilakukan untuk sejumlah variasi dimensi batang dan kekakuan pegas pada mekanisme landing gear. Dari hasil simulasi ditunjukkan bahwa harga maksimum amplitudo respon percepatan berbanding terbalik dengan harga maksimum amplitudo respon simpangan. Disamping itu, peningkatan harga kekakuan pegas ks menyebabkan meningkatnya harga maksimum respon percepatan dan mengurangi amplitudo respon simpangan pada landing gear.

Abstract

This research discusses the static analysis of the kiln girth gear at Indarung cement Factory V PTSP due to replacement of the oldest girth gear with the newest one. The newest version of girth gear system has a smaller number of supporting spring (spring plate) in comparison with the previous one. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the effect of the spring plate number to the strength and stiffness of the girth gear system to assure the kiln can work properly. In this research the effect of the spring plate number to the linear and torsional stiffness of the girth gear is evaluated. Based on the simulation results, decreasing of the spring plate number from 16 to 12, significantly affect the total stiffness of the supporting spring. Furthermore, it was found from the simulation that the total stiffness of the supporting spring much affected by the axial stiffness of the spring plate comparing to its lateral stiffness.
