The minimum thickness of vertical type pressure vessel of column type distillation, must be planned in accordance with the recommended code of ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineering) VIII Div 1. Based on this code, the study aims to determine the feasibility of a pressure vessel that used by PT Pertamina (Persero). For this reason, and to be able to use this ASME code, various data was needed, especially the data sheets and some required data from the field. Based on the data that has been collected, it is then processed and was made a 3D modeling and was simulated using Autodesk Inventor software to test its feasibility. Based on the results of the study, the minimum thickness was obtained, namely head 13.66 mm, shell 13.69 mm, and skirt 3.47 mm, respectively. Taking into account the availability of materials on the market, namely SA-516 Grade 70, the recommended thickness of the head and shell sections was 14 and 5 mm, respectively. From the results of the safety analysis, it was found that at the stress of 0.217, 0.197, 0.196, and 0.195 MPa, the Von Mises stress that occurred ware 0.249; 0.226, 0.225 and 0.224 MPa. From these data, based on the distortion energy failure theory, the head and shell materials which have yield strength of 260 MPa can be categorized as very safe because it does not exceed the yield strength of the material used.

Design Development of Punching and Bending Machine Combination

This paper purpose is to study working pressure limit of the machine combination between blanking and punching process. The combination punch and bending machine in this study is a machine that belongs to the press type with the use of punch and die. This machine has a hydraulic drive with a maximum pressure generated of 700 bars. The engine performance is only able to withstand a working pressure of 27.7 bars. Therefore, the utilization of the working pressure must be increased to maximize the working pressure. The analysis was carried out on the machine with two methods, namely simulation and experiment. The simulation method was carried out using Autodesk Inventor software to design and simulate in order to find out the critical points that occur on the machine. It was given working pressure according to the permitted safety factor of 1.5. The experimental method was carried out by measuring the voltage using a Strain gauge sensor positioned at the critical point obtained in the simulation and measuring the deflection using a dial indicator. From these tests, it was found that the initial working pressure before being optimized was 27.7 bars to 49.5 bars after being optimized.

A FSR Sensor Cuff to Measure Muscle Activation During Strength and Gait Cycle for Lower Limb

The assessment techniques used for people who experience muscular issues, regardless of the cause, are crucial to resolve the issue and fill the gap left by the deficiency in their muscles. The amputees’ demands in their rehabilitation process are made more evident by evaluating the residual limb muscles. The time-varying muscle activity of the amputees weakens the efficiency of using these fixed positions inside the socket, which leads to a great challenge for them to continue using the prosthesis in this case. Depending on the daily motion activity or routine of the amputees, a change in the level of muscle activation may occur because every motion activity has its dynamic that depends on muscle activity. For this purpose, a new reliable cuff system using a simple, non-invasive sensor based on a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) which can measure muscle contraction, is presented in this study. The cuff system was designed by Autodesk Inventor software and used Cura for slicing functions. This design was printed by Creator-Pro 3D printer as an FDM type. The cuff includes 8 FSR sensors printed with TPU and APL for the cube. Applying FSRs on the skin senses the mechanical force exerted by the underlying contracting muscles. Regarding FSR signals and data collection and display, Datastreamer by Microsoft Excel was used for this purpose. Five male non-amputee subjects were involved in this study to do two activities (strength muscles and gait cycle). Each activity was subjected to two tests, the first conducted above the knee, while test 2 was below the knee. Rectus femoris (RF) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles were targeted as a positioning reference for above and below the knee tests, respectively. Through the experiments, there was no complaint from the subjects about the surface of the cuff touching the skin. Still, the issue revolved around the tightness of the cuff, especially at the above-knee level for both activities. As thigh circumference, the cuff stretching efficiency was achieved over maximum stretch capability at 63 cm. After more than 50 trials with the two activities mentioned above, there was no change in the cuff dimensions either for maximum or minimum size, i.e., without stretching occurring. F1- all individuals for both activities displayed no appreciable signal variations and began with high levels of values, according to the signals data. That results from the tightness of the cuff on the limb. As a result of its site being unfavorable to any muscle activity, F2 presented poor signals in both activities for all participants. The cuff size needs to be reevaluated to prevent the problem of cuff tightness. The findings of the trials generally demonstrated the muscles’ active locations and the change of activity taking place in those positions. On the other hand, the findings of the experiments also presented the inactive positions.

Performance Analysis of Plate Punching and Bending Machine Combination

The plate punching and bending combination machine is a machine that belongs to the press type with the use of a punch and a die to make holes or bends in a plate work-piece. This machine uses a hydraulic drive with a maximum working pressure of 700 Bars, which is used as a punch force to work-piece. But, it is not known the value of working pressure this frame can withstand. Therefore, machine performance becomes unknown such as punch force that can be used, work-piece thickness, whole circumference and type of material that can be machined. In this paper, the analysis is carried out using simulation and experimental methods. The simulation method is carried out using Autodesk Inventor software to determine the critical location, which is then measured by experiment. The experimental method is carried out by measuring the stress and deflection. Voltage measurement on the frame is carried out using a strain gauge sensor and measurements are carried out using a dial indicator. The application of a safety factor is 1.5 based on the yield strength of ASTM A36 as the frame material. The deflection that has occurred is 1.15 mm, the maximum working pressure obtained is 27.7 Bars. The maximum punch force is 5441 N.

Stress and strain analysis using Autodesk Inventor software in soil-cement brick

The computational analysis of materials is fundamental for a better understanding of their physical and mechanical properties, achieving more results in a shorter time. It is a cheaper, non-destructive, practical way, and easily adaptable to various types of models and physical influences. This study has the objective of ascertaining the stress and strain analysis in soil-cement brick through the Autodesk Inventor Professional software, which uses the finite element method. Three models of brick were made: two holes, monoblock, and groove, which are the most commonly used shapes. To the two holes model, the maximum first principal stress observed was 1.464x10-1 MPa and the third principal stress was 5.4x10-3 MPa, presenting an insignificant strain of 1.037x10-3 mm. In the monoblock model, the maximum first principal stress was 4.606x10-1 MPa, and the third principal stress was 1.19x10-2 MPa, presenting a strain of 1.611x10-3 mm. The groove model presented the maximum first principal stress at 3.263x10-1 MPa and for the third principal stress was 9.1x10-3 MPa, respectively, presenting a strain of 3.344x10-3 mm. It can also be observed that the models have stress concentrating regions in the sharp edges and notches of the part. Among the three models studied, the one that presented the most favorable stress-strain conditions was the two-hole model. Since it has a larger contact area, the load applied to it was better distributed, presenting higher resistance than the other models with a smaller contact area.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a robot for non-destructive testing of the pipelines to improve its reliability and reduce the loss of products due to cracks, corrosions, etc.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, an inline inspection robot was developed for crack and corrosion detection in the pipeline. The developed robot consists of ultrasonic sensors to avoid obstacles, a visual aid with high resolution to view real time images and colour sensors for corrosion detection. The Autodesk inventor software was used for the drafting and solid modelling of the robot. A dummy pipe of 500 mm diameter and 2,000 mm length with induced cracks and corrosion was fabricated to test the robot. The colour sensors placed at each side of the robot were used to detect corrosion in the dummy pipe whilst the image processing was done to analyse the crack, as well as the type and depth of corrosion present in the dummy pipe.FindingsThe results obtained show the ability of the developed robot to detect cracks and determine the crack growth in the pipeline in addition to its ability to determine corrosion.Practical implicationsHence, the study provides a diagnostic tool for detecting pipeline defects and analysing the extent of defects to determine the fatigue rate and the useful life of the pipeline.Originality/valueThe novelties of this study is based on the fact that it was designed to avoid obstacles and check for cracks, leakage and corrosion in pipelines autonomously. It has visual aid that makes it possible to see the interior of the pipe. This makes it easier to identify the defect and the location of the defects before a catastrophic failure. The device is also equipped with sensors, which can detect defects and send the signal to a control system, as well as a Bluetooth device so the operator can have real time information about the state and integrity of the pipelines. The system is also integrated with a Bluetooth device, which permits its compatibility with Android and other mobile applications. Thus, the enabled user can send a command to query the state of the pipeline at any location with the feedback received in the form of short message service. Hence, this study offers contribution in the development of an independent (self-governing) system with the capability to autonomously detect defects in pipe walls and effectively communicate feedback to the authorised users. The prototype model for the evaluation of pipeline integrity will bring about a more proactive way to detect pipeline defects so that effort can be geared towards its restoration before it becomes a major problem, which will subsequently affect productivity and incur losses.

Design and analysis of three-dimensional printing of a porous titanium scaffold

ObjectiveMechanic strength, pore morphology and size are key factors for the three-dimensional (3D) printing of porous titanium scaffolds, therefore, developing optimal structure for the 3D printed titanium scaffold to fill bone defects in knee joints is instructive and important.MethodsStructural models of titanium scaffolds with fifteen different pore unit were designed with 3D printing computer software; five different scaffold shapes were designed: imitation diamond-60°, imitation diamond-90°, imitation diamond-120°, regular tetrahedron and regular hexahedron. Each structural shape was evaluated with three pore sizes (400, 600 and 800 μm), and fifteen types of cylindrical models (size: 20 mm; height: 20 mm). Autodesk Inventor software was used to determine the strength and safety of the models by simulating simple strength acting on the knee joints. We analyzed the data and found suitable models for the design of 3D printing of porous titanium scaffolds.ResultsFifteen different types of pore unit structural models were evaluated under positive pressure and lateral pressure; the compressive strength reduced when the pore size increased. Under torsional pressure, the strengths of the imitation diamond structure were similar when the pore size increased, and the strengths of the regular tetrahedron and regular hexahedron structures reduced when the pore size increased. In each case, the compressive strength of the regular hexahedron structure was highest, that of the regular tetrahedron was second highest, and that of the imitation diamond structure was relatively low. Fifteen types of cylindrical models under a set force were evaluated, and the sequence of comprehensive compressive strength, from strong to weak was: regular hexahedron > regular tetrahedron > imitation diamond-120° > imitation diamond-90° > imitation diamond-60°. The compressive strength of cylinder models was higher when the pore size was smaller.ConclusionThe pore size and pore morphology were important factors influencing the compressive strength. The strength of each structure reduced when the pore size (400, 600 and 800 μm) increased. The models of regular hexahedron, regular tetrahedron and imitation diamond-120°appeared to meet the conditions of large pore sizes and high compressive strength.

Research on ultimate bearing capacity state and structure optimization of main cable saddle

In order to make the main cable saddle structure lighter and reduce the cost, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the force transmission path, failure mode and ultimate bearing capacity of the main cable saddle. A parametric geometric model was established based on Autodesk Inventor software and imported into the large-scale general-purpose finite element software ABAQUS for numerical simulation research under ideal elastoplastic state, and the mechanical properties and ultimate bearing capacity of the main saddle were systematically studied. A structural optimization method with safety factor as the goal was proposed, and the original design was optimized for structural size. Then, the ultimate bearing capacity state of the cable saddle considering the influence of the steel's post-buckling strength is analyzed, and the structural bearing capacity evaluation index is proposed. The analysis results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the preliminary design cable saddle is 3.00 times the design load, and it has sufficient safety reserves; the ultimate failure state of the cable saddle is the formation of a plastic hinge at the junction of the transverse rib, saddle channel cast steel and the web; By quantitatively analyzing the development of the plastic zone of each component of the cable saddle, the force transmission path and failure process of the structure can be analyzed more clearly, which provides a basis for the structural optimization of the cable saddle; and obtain the steel consumption under different safety factor target values (2.5, 2.0, 1.85, 1.5, 1.25), for example, when the safety factor target is 1.85, 38.8% of steel can be saved; when considering deformation index control, it is recommended that the target safety factor of the ideal elastoplastic analysis control is not less than 1.82.

Uncertainty solution of robot parameters using fuzzy position control applied for an automotive cracked exhaust system inspection

This paper presents a new strategy for robotic manipulator inverse kinematics, which senses the final position error of the end-effector through an observational error model based on an Internet Protocol (IP) camera and calculates the joint variable errors through two fuzzy control techniques. Single Stage Fuzzy Controller (SSFC) and Three Stages Fuzzy Controller (TSFC) served as an inverse kinematic model to 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) robot manipulator. The inputs to the controller were the errors in the end-effector position Δx, Δy, Δz and the outputs of the controller were the controlled changes in the angular displacements of the joints. The fuzzy controller was utilized to compensate for geometric errors and non-geometric errors in the robot manipulator. Autodesk Inventor software was used for modeling the robot manipulator and make the transition to Simulink through the SimMechanics link for trajectory simulation. The simulation during the uncertainty of link length and end-effector load was implemented to show the proposed control model effectiveness. The gas leak test in an automotive exhaust system was applied to locate the crack position as an experimental validation of the proposed model in real-world applications.
