ABSTRACT Motorcycles are a popular means of transport for carrying two passengers but have limitations in terms of cargo capacity. Three-wheeled motorcycles are also used for transporting both people and goods, offering advantages in terms of stability, riding comfort, and load capacity. However, the relatively high cost and varying transportation needs of small and medium business operato…
ABSTRACT Adaptor disc brake or wheel spacers are important vehicle components that function to increase stability, handling and safety. Making adapters requires careful planning, especially in choosing manufacturing methods such as CNC Milling with the help of CAD/CAM technology. Previous research shows the use of Mastercam produces products with tight tolerances and measurable production time…
ABSTRACT The use of SNI helmets is a mandatory requirement for using motor vehicle equipment. SNI helmets are generally made of polypropelene polymer. Composites reinforced with synthetic fibers cause biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers to become a major concern as a new environmentally friendly material. The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of sisal/carbon fib…
Corrosion in pipeline systems is a significant challenge in the industry as it can compromise structural integrity and increase the risk of operational failure. Conventional methods, such as visual inspection and electromagnetic sensors, often fail to provide a comprehensive representation of the internal condition of pipelines. This study proposes the use of acoustic reflectometry to detect an…
