Abstract

The suspension system is a crucial mechanical component in a vehicle, particularly in cars, situated between the vehicle body and the wheels. The suspension system functions to dampen vibrations and prevent their transmission to the vehicle body. The objective of this research is to obtain a system model for a vehicle suspension, which will be subsequently simulated. The simulation results of the developed system model can then be analyzed using MATLAB. After conducting the simulation, the dynamic response generated from the simulation is analyzed. The simulation results for a road bump with a height of 0.2 m and varying speeds of 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 40 km/h reveal the occurrence of overshoot in the vehicle chassis, measuring 0.032 m, 0.022 m, and 0.017 m, respectively. The settling time for the vehicle chassis occurs successively in 1.59 seconds, 1.33 seconds, and 1.28 seconds. The vehicle tends to return to a stable position more quickly at higher speeds compared to lower speeds. Similarly, the settling time decreases as the speed increases.

Abstract

The folding gate is a middle frame flanked by cross bars on the back of the shop door which has a higher level of strength than the body of the door and has better security. The U folding profile is made by a plastic deformation rolling process in which the plate is passed between the pressing roll and the sliding roll. Flat plates are used from the base material of metal plates with varying plate thickness where the metal forming process uses a cold working process. Factors that affect the results of rolling are roll dimensions, machine capacity, roll pressure lever settings and others. The thickness of the plate that can be rolled by the machine, the amount of force exerted on the roll gap, the evenness of the roll surface both vertically and horizontally and the alignment of the roll gap. The thicker the material with a large pressure spacing can affect the forming process so that it enlarges the largest angular deviation of 0.761 mm at a pressure spacing of 0.0 mm. A thicker material with a large pitch can enlarge the wing opening so that both wings bend imperfectly making the height deviation increase by 18.58 mm at a pitch of 0.0 mm. Thinner material with a large press distance at the start of the roll affects the flange width so that the rolling force exerted on the contact gap between the roll and the workpiece side is unbalanced. Get the largest size b- (8.030 mm) 0.0 mm pressure distance and b+ (7.843) 0.15 mm pressure distance.

Abstract

One of the welding used for different materials is by using friction welding. Friction welding is a welding method by swiping the two materials until they reach some of the melting points of the materials to be joined and then subjected to constant pressure. In this study, the materials to be joined were aluminum and copper. By using variations of rotational speed and contact surface roughness, the mechanical properties of the welds were investigated. The speed variations used were 1230, 1500, and 2500 rpm. Meanwhile, for variations in surface roughness, sandpaper grades 100, 800, and 1500 were used. The results of this study were that at a rotational speed of 1230 rpm, the highest tensile strength and hardness values were obtained, namely 59.6 MPa and 54.6 HVN (Al), 112.1 HVN (Cu). For variations in surface roughness, the highest hardness value was found in surface roughness using sandpaper grade 1500, namely 54.18HVN (Al), and 112.1HVN (Cu). And the highest tensile strength is obtained on grade 100 sandpaper with a value of 52.48MPa. The results of the microstructure test in the weld joint area with a magnification of 1000x showed that the welding of aluminum and copper using the friction welding method was successful, as evidenced by the diffusion of aluminum and copper in this area.

Abstract

The impact of the converter kit type on the performance of diesel engines using biodiesel and LPG fuel has been explored. Converter kits play a vital role in transforming the fuel supply system, and experiments have been conducted to assess their influence on various engine performance parameters. The findings of the study indicate that the selection of a converter kit significantly affects the performance of dual-fuel diesel engines (biodiesel and LPG). Gas Heater converter kits, including type 1, type 2, and type 3 variations, were scrutinized in this research. Testing revealed variations in LPG-Biodiesel fuel mixing ratios depending on the type of converter kit employed. For instance, Gas Heater type 3 achieves the highest value with a mixing ratio of 14.4. Furthermore, the performance of the engine in terms of power and torque is also impacted by the type of converter kit utilized. Gas Heater type 1 exhibits peak performance, with power reaching 5.4 kW and torque measuring 34.81 Nm. Despite the operational costs of dual-fuel diesel engines tending to be higher than those using pure biodiesel, the research concludes that the choice of the converter kit type can have a substantial effect on engine performance, particularly regarding fuel efficiency.

Abstract

Water is a natural resource that is very important for life in the world, especially for humans and other living things. There are few areas in Indonesia that have unsuitable water due to water pollution and limited fresh water source. Distillation is an effective way to produce clean water that is free from impurities in the form of small solids, germs and bacteria. One type of distillation systems is a solar distillation. However, the use of these still has low productivity. There are several ways to increase the productivity of solar distillation systems, one of them is by adding thermal energy storage material such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles. This study based on  experimental method by comparing a solar distillation systems with the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the absorber plate coating to the coating without the addition of Al2O3. The test results showed that the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles increased the productivity of solar distillation. The results show the addition of mass concentration of Al2O3 (nano particles): 10%; 15% and 20% ,  increased distillate  production by: 44.73%; 88.98% and 134.85% compared without the addition of nanoparticles to the absorber plate coating.

Abstract

The development of Renewable Energy (RE) has become one of the priorities that has been promoted by various governments around the world, as a step towards implementing green energy in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The sea as one of the largest parts of the territory in Indonesia must be managed for its energy because it has quite large energy potential. One of them is ocean currents. The Sunda Strait is a very strategic strait and has ocean currents that have the potential to develop energy to be used as a source of electrical energy. Therefore the development of a suitable turbine design is urgently needed in this strait area. In previous research the simulation and experimental work have confirmed that the Savonius rotor can be worked in the low speed marine current. This is will be relevant with Sunda Strait condition that have current 0.4 – 1 m/s. The experiment also shows that the rotor provided torque 0.36 Nm with 11.97 RPM therefore can generated 0.45 Watt

Abstract

Material engineering technology every year always makes new breakthroughs in creating high-quality materials and have an adequate contribution. Natural fiber reinforced composite material is one of the materials currently used as fillers in composite products. Composite with natural income also has a variety of advantages offered, namely low prices and abundant availability. This study discusses the fraction of fiber volume and fiber length on the tensile strength and impact of fiber reinforced silk fibers (Samia chynthia rucini). In this study the volume fractions of fiber used were 10%, 15% and 20% with a fiber length of 10 mm and 50 mm using an epoxy resin matrix. From the composite tensile test results prove the increase in tensile strength obtained increases the volume of silk fiber in the composite. 20% with a fiber length of 10 mm is 6.859 MPa, while the lowest tensile strength value in composites with a fiber volume fraction of 0% is 1.653 MPa. The impact test shows the strength of 10% fiber volume fraction composite with 10 mm fiber length that is 0.54535 J/mm2, while the lowest impact strength value is 0% fiber volume fraction composite that is 0.50686 J/mm2.
