Abstract

Many studies were conducted to maintain the environment by reducing the waste, especially pineapple peel waste. This study aims to explore the effect of various pressure of the homogenization process on bacterial cellulose membrane surface morphology and structure produced using extract of pineapple peel waste. The methods include the preparation of pellicle samples from the product of the fermentation process of Acetobacter xylinum using a medium from the extract of pineapple peel waste. Bacterial cellulose pellicles were crushed using a blender. Mashed bacterial cellulose pellicle then homogenized in High-Pressure Homogenizer with pressure variation of  0 bar, 150 bar, 300 bar, 450 bar, dan 600 bar then cast into a mold. The bacterial cellulose solutions were dried in an oven at 60°C for 8 hours. The dried bacterial cellulose membrane was analyzed using XRD for the structure and SEM analysis for the morphology. The results indicate that the crystalline properties of BCM were shifted after being treated by various pressure processing in a High-Pressure Homogenizer. It was found that the High-Pressure Homogenizer with higher pressure reduced the peak intensity, decreased crystalline index from 87% to 70%, and decreased the degree of crystalline from 88% to 77%  without changing the cellulose structure. The higher pressure of the homogenization process causes the porosity of the membrane to be decreased.

Abstract

Al-SiC is a composite composed of AA6061 as a matrix and SiC as a reinforcement particle. The variation of mass added will affect the mechanical properties of the composite because Al-SiC is hardenable, which means that its mechanical properties can be improved by adding the reinforcement component. However, an excessive portion of SiC leads to a decrease in mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to find the optimal composition of the addition of SiC into the aluminium matrix to gain maximum tensile strength and hardness. The mass fraction variation that would be used in this composite was the addition of 6%, 8%, and 10% SiC with the addition of 1% Mg as a wetting agent. The mixing process used the stir casting method. The process of adding SiC and Mg was carried out by melting the aluminium while stirring it for a certain time before it went to the furnace. The ASTM E8/E8M standard was used for observing the tensile strength of the specimens. Machining was carried out before testing. The specimens were also tested for hardness using the Rockwell hardness method. The result shows that the addition of SiC at the amount of 6%, 8%, and 10% SiC increased the ultimate tensile strength by154.10 MPa, 175.01 MPa, and 198.14 MPa, respectively. Similarly, the hardness also increased up to 30.1 HRF, 48.1 HRF, and 66 HRF, respectively. Microstructure observation also confirmed that a 10% SiC fraction results in less defect and good wettability. The addition of 10% SiC and 1% Mg resulted in maximum tensile strength and hardness and the best microstructure.

Abstract

The mechanized ability to specify the way surface type is a piece of key enlightenment for autonomous transportation machine navigation like wheelchairs and smart cars. In the present work, the extracted features from the object are getting based on structure and surface evidence using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Furthermore, K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) Classifier was built to classify the road surface image into three classes, asphalt, gravel, and pavement. A comparison of KNN and Naïve Bayes (NB) was used in present study. We have constructed a road image dataset of 450 samples from real-world road images in the asphalt, gravel, and pavement. Experiment result that the classification accuracy using the K-NN classifier is 78%, which is better as compared to Naïve Bayes classifier which has a classification accuracy of 72%. The paving class has the smallest accuracy in both classifier methods. The two classifiers have nearly the same computing time, 3.459 seconds for the KNN Classifier and 3.464 seconds for the Naive Bayes Classifier.

Abstract

Foot prosthesis is a replacement for the foot to overcome activity limitations due to disease, birth defects, accidents or amputations. Many foot prosthetics have been developed in recent years to treat patients. However, prostheses on the market today have drawbacks, including their high price, lack of comfort, stiff ankles, and low durability. The main objective of this study is to develop an existing ankle-foot prosthesis design that approximates the resemblance of a human foot according to the anthropometry of Asians, especially Indonesians. This study contains the design of a prosthetic foot with a skin design model and a support core. The prosthetic core supports the use of a compliance mechanism (CM) model that functions to connect the limb organs that have been amputated. The design process is carried out using the Solidwork software. Ankle foot prostheses are designed to be able to withstand a load of 100 kg and can be used for patients with a height range of 150 cm to 180 cm. Based on the design results, it is found that the prosthesis mass is lower than the lowest mass of the user, so it feels light, ergonomic and flexible when used.

Abstract

Experimental research has been conducted on the effect of ignition timings on the characteristics and performance of gasohol engines such as power, torque, specific fuel consumption, and thermal efficiency. The fuel used in this research is pure gasoline and a mixture of 50% bioethanol (BE50). The results show that the ignition timing that gives the maximum effect occurs at the top and bottom dead points of 9 degrees for gasoline and 12 degrees for BE50 fuel. Furthermore, the maximum power is obtained at 6,500 rpm, and at an ignition time of 12 degrees BTDC the maximum power generated is 4.63 hp, while for an ignition time of 9 degrees BTDC the power generated is 3.38 hp which occurs at 6500 rpm. These results indicate that there is an increase in power of 6.4%. Moreover, the results also show that for optimal gasoline conditions, the amount of energy consumed at an engine speed of 7000 rpm is around 15705.78 kcal/hour, and for BE-50 it is around 12582.03 kcal/hour, where there is a reduction of about 25.44 %. However, in general, it can be seen that during optimal ignition, there is a saving in fuel consumption in the gasoline-BE50 mixture, while at the same time producing a fairly large thermal efficiency. These results indicate that BE50 has the potential to be used as an alternative fuel in small gasoline engines.

Abstract

Effect of the elements Fe, Ni, and Cr on the surface quality under machining of hyper-eutectic aluminium-based Al-Si automotive alloys has been carried out as the elements improve the properties of this alloy. Machining is done on a horizontal type milling machine using a high-speed steel slab milling cutter in dry condition. Only the cutting speed varies throughout the experiment, while the machining feed and depth of cut remain fixed. The experimental results show that the addition of these alloying elements increases the roughness and hardness specially due to formation of Fe-rich intermetallic . However, the needle-like  has been refined with the addition of Cr, as seen by the microstructure. The SEM fractography shows a huge cleavage of the brittle  phase, which initiates the crack propagation for Fe added alloys. The downward force causes compressive stress exerted in down-milling operation, so the results depict higher hardness and better surface finish.  Besides, shorter chips are formed in down-milling than up-milling process, which rather causes the brittleness of the alloys. When the cutting speed is raised, the surface quality deteriorates due to high temperature, while the hardness improves initially due to formation of precipitates then decreases due to coarsening of precipitates.
