Abstract

Stroke represents a condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). A person who suffers a stroke will have a brain disorder that causes him/her unable to carry out activities like other healthy people. In general, stroke sufferers have paralysis in several parts of the body, like the hands, feet, and even the face. With technological developments in this era, stroke can be healed in various ways that have been developed by health experts. Healing can be referred to the treatment result for blocked or damaged blood vessels. However, the sufferer’s paralysis cannot return to the normal condition immediately, so it requires therapy or exercises to stimulate the muscles in the hands, feet, or face. This study focuses on developing a therapeutic device on the wrist that has a swivel joint. To design the wrist rehabilitation device with servo motor drive, some researches about existing products need to be reviewed. From that, a list of requirements is compiled, which is used for designing the concept of a wrist rehabilitation device. It is expected that an automatic wrist rehabilitation device can help post-stroke patients undergo the rehabilitation process.

Abstract

The aims of this study are to model the wave energy harvester device using a single pendulum on a pontoon called Single Vertical Pendulum Mechanism (SVPM) and analyze the voltage generated by the mechanism. The simulation method was conducted in order to provide the power generated by SVPM. The SVPM’s dimension was designed on a laboratory scale and the wave amplitude was adjusted by the amplitude on the laboratory pool. The mechanism model uses wave energy as the excitation force of the pendulum. The pendulum oscillates and drives the transmission gear which transmits the force to the generator. The generator produces electrical energy. The variation used in the simulation was the mass of the pendulum, the length of the pendulum’s arm, and the wave amplitude. The maximum power that can be generated by SVPM was 5,735 Watt occurred when the arrangement of SVPM was using the pendulum mass of 0,75 kg and the pendulum length of 0,2 m. The parameter that most affect the generated power of SVPM was the wave amplitude.

Abstract

This paper highlights a study for the failure investigation of superheater tubes made of the material T-91 of a boiler in the coal-fired power plant. Two tubes are subjected to different types of failure. Visual examination, dimensional measurement, and chemical analysis are conducted as part of the study. Apart from these, the hardness test and microstructural analysis are also conducted to ascertain the possible cause of failure. The superheater tube material cracking, cavity until broken failure that occurred on the first tube was resulted in thick lip rupture and the second tube resulted in thin lip fish mouth rupture. Creep deformation, localized rapid overheating, surface tube erosion, and fly ash of coal corrosion are the main cause of tube failure. It can be avoided by regularly and according to standards cleaning the scale or deposit on the surface of the tube.

Abstract

The availability of electricity in the middle of the sea is important for lighting the fishing boat. Therefore, it was designed on a rowboat mechanism associated with piezoelectric energy as the converter. This study simulates the movement of ocean waves with the frequency and amplitude variations that will produce different force. The force of moving components in the mechanism which further encourages piezoelectric cantilever. Deflection caused by the piezoelectric cantilever will produce electrical energy. The greater of the wave frequency, the greater displacement and velocity of  thrustmass, so that electric power generated also increases. When the greater the number of Piezoelectric used, the electrical energy produced is getting smaller. This is due to the increasing number of hard piezoelectric added to be deflected. In this study, the maximum electrical energy produces the highest frequency, high amplitude and the number of piezoelectric slightly.

Abstract

All of the electrical and mechanical components in the solar-electric bus certainly require a chassis. A chassis frame construction must be strong and light enough to bend when it receives loads. This article focuses on stress analysis using finite element method related to the solar-electric bus chassis, including the vertical load, longitudinal (acceleration and braking), and turning load. It began with a literature review and collecting the data of chassis dimensions and materials. It was then ended by getting the data simulation and evaluation of comparison results. From the simulation results for the chassis initial design, the highest Von-Misses stress happened for turning load, 182.45 MPa, and a safety factor of 1.4. While from simulation of the redesigned chassis, the Von-Mises stress reduced to 169.87 MPa with a safety factor of 1.5. Furthermore, the vertical load conditions resulted in the lowest Von-Mises stress, which was 87.89 MPa with a safety factor of 2.84.

Abstract

An interaction between an anti-plane crack with a three-phase circular composite by using complex potential methods is considered in this paper. The solution procedures for solving this problem consist of two parts. In the first part, based on complex potential methods in conjunction with analytical continuation theorem and alternating technique, the complex potential functions of a screw dislocation interacting with three-phase circular composites are obtained. The second part consists of the derivation of logarithmic singular integral equations by introducing the complex potential functions of screw dislocation along the crack border together with superposition technique. The logarithmic singular integral equations are then solved numerically by modeling a crack in place of several segments. Linear interpolation formulae with undetermined coefficients are applied to approximate the dislocation distribution along the elements, except at vicinity of the crack tip where the dislocation distribution preserves a square-root singularity. The mode-III stress intensity factors are then obtained numerically in terms of the values of the dislocation density functions of the logarithmic singular integral equations.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to introduce a mathematical model of wear volume of Archard’s equation influenced by speed variable. Some researchers have studied the wear volume due to sliding speed, roughness and coefficient of friction. However, mathematical model dealing with sliding speed has never been explicitly reported. Wear analysis is oftenly expressed experimentally through charts concerning both wear volume and sliding speed instead of mathematics. This research is started by modeling mathematical representation within Buckingham Pi Theory. The mathematical parameter contains wear volume, hardness, normal loads, sliding speed, sliding distance, and density of materials. Buckingham Pi model produces three sets of equation. Two of these sets yields Archard’s equation. By combining the third set, the modified Archard’s equation is determined. Since Buckingham set requires a constant of equality, the equation is verified by experiment data. This value is called Wear-Speed Coefficient. Experiment using pin-on-disk tribometer is conducted by varying sliding speed. Further more, those parameters are applied to estimate wear volumes. Materials which are used for this verification are NBR Rubber Nitril, Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE), and Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (PTFE). In conclusion, the modified Archard equation is determined to estimate wear volumes. Based on the experiment, the model is accurate for UHMWPE, NBR and PTFE. Moreover, ratio of density to material’s hardness is significant to control wear resistance influenced by speed.

Abstract

Gunung Salak is one of the potential geothermal area in Indonesia. The steam character is categorised as the water – dominated steam with low steam purity. During inspection, deposit was found in several equipment which are turbine, demister, scrubber and separator. Demister is an essential in the geothermal system as it keeps the steam quality above the saturated condition, by removing the water phase from the steam. The deposit was predicted to be form because of scaling problem due to the impurities of the steam. Oxygen is expected to be responsible of the scaling problem. This research is to analyze the effect of oxygen partial pressure to the formation of scaling through thermodynamic approach. The formation of iron oxide scaling is to be focused in this research as it is mostly found in the deposit alongside other compounds. Demister’s deposit was analyzed using ICP, AAS, XRD and SEM – EDX method. The actual composition found in the demister is then compared to the phase stability diagram results using a chemical reaction software. The deposit used is from the demister.

Abstract

The crane is one of the production support facilities on the offshore platform. During operation, it receives a large load, both from the environment and the crane’s operational load, so the crane’s strength and operational safety need to be maintained. Cyclic loading can cause the crane structure to experience fatigue. This evidence shows the importance of analyzing the crane pedestal. How much the load affects the fatigue life of the structure. A previous study on the crane loading effect on the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) was provided as a comparison. Local fatigue analysis was performed on the pedestal crane using the Finite Element Method (MEH) and ANSYS Workbench 19.1 software. The validation stage was carried out by comparing the value of the reaction force, moment, and maximum equivalent stress (Von-Mises) on the crane pedestal between the simulation results and hand-calculation. Furthermore, a static simulation was carried out to obtain the stress value as the basis for cyclic loading. A dynamic simulation was carried out based on the stress obtained from the static simulation to determine the structure’s critical point and fatigue life. The fatigue analysis was carried out based on the Palmgren-Miner Theory. It is found that the load that has the most significant influence on crane pedestal fatigue is the operational load with a contribution of 80.7%, wind load of 19.3%, and wave load of 0%. The minimum estimated fatigue life of the crane pedestal structure is 96.5 years or close to 5 times the design life. Compared to the crane in the FPSO in previous studies, the most significant difference lies in the contribution of wave loads, where the wave load on the FPSO has the most considerable contribution to crane structure fatigue (97.8%).

Abstract

The electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique to study electrical brain activity (while the brain is performing a cognitive task). The electrical brain activity is a complex process of electrical propagation because the brain structure is an incredibly complex structure. This complex structure leads to different conductivity properties in terms of its magnitude and orientation, called anisotropic conductivity. Using Maxwell's equations, electrical brain activity has been studied intensively. For simplification, the quasistatic Maxwell’s equations are used to model the electrical brain activity and it leads to deal with a Poisson’s equation. In this research, a feasibility study of using a new method, called Operator Splitting Method (OSM), to solve anisotropic 2-Dimensional (2D) Poisson’s equation is performed. Freeware of the finite element method (FEM), FreeFEM++, is employed to build matrices used in the OSM algorithm. The OSM algorithm which is written in Matlab is then tested to solve anisotropic 2D Laplace’s equation and anisotropic Poisson’s equation with the dipolar source. Afterward, the OSM solutions are validated by using an exact solution and a direct numerical solution. By using L2-Error Norm, the convergence rate of the OSM algorithm is then analyzed. Some numerical experiments have been performed to test the performance of the OSM algorithm. The OSM solution of anisotropic 2D Laplace’s equation coincides with the exact and direct numerical solution of the problem. For anisotropic 2D Poisson’s equation with dipolar source, some similar results have been obtained too. The pattern of the OSM solutions is similar to the pattern of direct numerical solutions of the problem. The results arise a hope to attempt to implement the OSM algorithm for more complex problems such as a realistic human head model.
