ABSTRACT The rotary friction welding method is a new method in the welding process. As with welding in general, the welding process with the rotary friction welding method uses friction energy that turns into heat to join two metals. This type of method has a source of heat energy produced by the friction of the material being joined. Where two metallic materials, whether similar or not, a…
ABSTRACT UAV Atha Mapper 2150 is a fixed wing type flying vehicle that can only fly for 30 minutes. Limited cruising time is influenced by several factors, namely the relatively low coefficient of lift force (Cl), as well as the air resistance (drag) that works along the fuselage is relatively large. This research aims to produce Atha Mapper 2150 UAV wing design with greater Cl value and l…
ABSTRACT Friction welding is a type of solid state welding in solid phases as a result of direct conversion of mechanical energy in the form of friction into thermal energy. Friction welding can be done using homogeneous or different types of materials. In friction welding using different types of materials it is difficult to get optimal results due to differences in crystal structure, che…

Fiber processing is treated in the form of an alkaline treatment using 5% NaOH for 2 hours, this treatment is carried out to increase the bond between the matrix and the filler. Composite produc…
ABSTRACT Wheelchairs are tools for humans who experience illness, disabilities, and injuries that cause walking difficulties. There are many types of wheelchairs on the market, while wheelchairs that function to help users defecate flexibly have not been widely sold in the market. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a flexible and multifunctional wheelchair that can assist the users in c…
ABSTRACT Serindit V-2 is an unmanned aircraft by the Serindit Aero UAV research team. It has the ability to fly rapidly in order to compete in KRTI in the Racing Plane division. Although it has been successfully produced and able to fly, comprehensive research on aerodynamic of Serindit V-2 aircraft flying behavior has never been done before. Aerodynamic research need to be conducted to im…
ABSTRACT As knowledge and technology increase, everyone will need electricity to carry out daily activities. Existing electrical energy sources are very limited. Various attempts were made to find new sources of electrical energy. One of them is a thermoelectric generator. Thermoelectric generators are electrical generator devices that convert heat (temperature difference) into electrical …
ABSTRACT Electrical energy has a very important role in human life. So far, the main buffer for energy needs is still relying on oil and coal. Meanwhile, it is inevitable that fossil energy is getting thinner and scarce. Of the many renewable energies provided by nature, solar energy is the most potential energy to be developed. One of the methods used to utilize solar energy is the Thermo…
ABSTRACT Heat energy is energy that can be easily found in our daily lives, starting from the heat provided by nature, namely from the sun's heat, heat from chemical reactions, and heat generated by mechanical friction. If this heat energy can be converted into electrical energy, it will certainly be able to help meet the increasing energy needs. Thermoelectric generator is a technology th…
ABSTRACT The conveyor belt is one of the most widely used material conveyances in industry. In addition to the distance that can be traveled quite far, this tool also has a large enough carrying capacity. In this study, the belt conveyor was designed using two standards, namely CEMA edition 5 and DIN 22101. From the calculation results obtained the component dimensions, effective stress an…
ABSTRACK Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process of identifying damage by Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE). The method can be done by non-contact method. In this study a non-contact method was proposed to monitor the spesimen by ultilizing the sound signal as an excitation. This method has advantage becauseit is not costly toset-up testing.Excitation is given to spesimen by the loud…
The application of structural analysis is increasingly having a very important role in its existence in today's engineering world. Nowadays there are so many applications that make problem analysis easier, especially in the field of mechanical engineering such as SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, ABAQUS, INVENTOR and so on. However, these commercial applications are not only quite expensive but also have…
ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the optimal scheduling for maintenance of gas turbine engines in PLN Tanjung Datuk Pekanbaru. Optimal maintenance scheduling was done on critical components, namely turbine blade and AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) using Monte Carlo simulation. The optimal scheduling maintenance scenario was performed by generating random numbers from MTTF (Mean Tim…
ABSTRACT Atha Mapper 2150 has its drawbacks during takeoff and landing, where it requires relatively wide open air space. In addition, the landing of Atha Mapper 2150 using belly method has the risk of impact with ground level. In order for Atha Mapper 2150 to take off and land vertically, it is necessary to conduct research related to the development of Atha Mapper 2150 flying vehicle wit…
ABSTRACT The background of this research was based on the amount of waste of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) in Riau Province which has the potential to be used as reinforcement of composites. The problem in previous research was the poor adhesion between fibers and matrix resulting in low mechanical properties. Increasing the flexural strength and impact resistance can be done by add…
ABSTRACT In journal bearings, there is a contact between the shaft and the bearing. The impact that occurs on these contacts is friction which causes wear on the bearing material. This research was conducted to see the effect of bio-based lubricants on the distribution of hydrodynamic pressure and the film thickness on the journal bearings. The numerical assessment was carried out for this…
ABSTRACT One of the components used to hold the shaft transmitting power and rotation is journal bearing. Journal bearing has the advantage of being able to withstand large loads and high rotation, however, journal bearing has a weakness, which is high friction. This high friction is minimized by means of lubrication, where the lubricant forms a film layer which functions as a separator be…
