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…
ABSTRACT Rotary friction welding is a type of welding that belongs to the solis state type where welding does not require filling material to perform welding. This study aimed to measure the mechanical power of the rotary friction welding machine drive engine, before welding, during welding, and after welding using a strain gauge sensor attached to the stretch rod, for motor speed measured…
ABSTRACT In this study, a method was developed to detect damage to pipes using sound signals. The detection of damage to the pipe is done by using a signal sounds and four microphones. Methods of signal noise is a smart structural health monitoring that can detect damage at the cost of the more inexpensive. Excitation the sound is given by using a loudspeaker and the response signal noise…
ABSTRACT In the current era of globalization, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) has begun to be used as the basic material of natural composite materials where OPEFB waste contains cellulose in the range of 43% - 65% and lignin by 13% - 25% so that it can be used as the basic material of natural composite materials. However, natural fiber composites are still not competitive with the phys…
ABSTRACT ATM for Logistics Package is the development of a device called automatic machine measuring of mass and dimension, which combines a machine vision machine working principle which functions to measure dimensions plus other components in the form of a load cell that functions to measure the mass of an object. The development carried out is the addition of components in the form of …
ABSTRACT An Energy Efficient Car vehicle is designed to be safe and efficient and energy efficient when driving, so there are several things that must be considered, including the steering system, brakes, vehicle body, vehicle weight and engine. Factors that affect the performance and exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines are the quality of the fuel and the results of combustion…
ABSTRACT Among renewable energy sources, energy from water in small scale water power plants (mini/micro hydropower) much in demand because the operation is cheap, clean and environmentally friendly. Especially in low head, this type of power plants becomes the best choice for electrifying remote area in developing country and one of the best type is screw turbine. In this study the author…
ABSTRACT The archimedes turbine being studied is a type of water turbine for smallscale power plants where the screw water turbine is suitable for rivers in the Indonesian region because the turbine operation only requires a low turbine head, low price and easy to apply. With the potential for the flow of Koboko waterfall, which is located in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, it is possible t…
ABSTRACT Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that can be used to replace fossil fuels such as Diesel, which are increasingly depleting. Biodiesel has a higher viscosity, density, and surface tension value than conventional fossil fuels. The level used by the Indonesian government is 20-30% Biodiesel content, which is then added with Diesel fuel. If the percentage level of Biodiesel is increas…
ABSTRACT Transportation is needed by the people around the Riau inland rivers to bring agricultural and natural products to the market or to other places. The transportation needed by the community is a boat or boat capable of carrying goods in Riau's inland rivers which are relatively narrow, shallow and muddy. One of the river transportation used by the people of Riau is the lane boat, w…
ABSTRACT This study aims to obtain optimum welding results on low carbon steel with variations in electrode angle and reverse polarity direct current welding current with SMAW welding machine with adaptive sliding system two axis with speed control. Welding is done automatically and the welding speed is adjusted using the Speed Control. The method used is experimental by varying the electr…
ABSTRACT Rotary friction welding is a type of friction welding which is a type of solid state welding where the welding process is carried out in a solid phase. The friction welding process occurs as a result of the direct conversion of mechanical energy in the form of friction into thermal energy. The process of friction between two surfaces of objects occurs in axial direction pressure. …
ABSTRACT Transmission is one part of the power transfer system that functions to get variations in moment and speed according to road conditions and loading conditions, which generally uses a gear ratio. The basic principle of transmission is how to change the rotational speed of a shaft to the desired rotational speed. Automatic transmission or known as CVT (Continuous Variable Transmissi…
