An Integrated Approach for the Determination of Young’s Modulus of a Cantilever Beam Using Finite Element Analysis and the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Technique

This paper is an extended paper from the 24th International Conference on Mechatronics Technology, ICMT 2021. The basic mechanical characteristic that gauges the stiffness of a solid material is known as the Young’s modulus. To evaluate the Young’s modulus, destructive material testing is frequently used. This paper describes how to determine a material’s dynamic Young’s modulus using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) in conjunction with numerical back-analysis. Three different materials (brass, aluminum, and steel) were examined for their static and dynamic reactions. A static transverse displacement was first applied at the free end of the beam before it was released and the beam was allowed to vibrate freely. The resulting vibrations at the free end were monitored using the DIC method, following which the natural frequencies of the beam were derived by applying the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to the DIC measured time history. The Young’s modulus corresponding to the fundamental natural frequency of the beam was then obtained via modal back-analysis using the finite element program Ansys 2022 R1. In this way, the Young’s modulus of the material may be calculated using a combination of numerical and DIC techniques, thus allowing for the non-contact evaluation of the structural integrity without subjecting the material to destructive testing. Potential applications of this method include bridge and building assessments, and structural health monitoring (SHM).

Due to recent pandemic, the 2022 3rd International Conference on Mechatronics Technology and Intelligent Manufacturing (ICMTIM 2022) which was planned to be held in Hangzhou, China, was held virtually online during April 15-17, 2022. The decision to hold the virtual conference was made in compliance with many restrictions and regulations that were imposed by countries around the globe. Such restrictions were made to minimize the risk of people contracting or spreading the COVID-19 through physical contact. There were 90 individuals who attended this on-line conference, represented many countries including Malaysia, USA, India and China.The ICMTIM 2022 conference will be held once a year, aiming at bringing together scholars, experts, developers and technicians in the fields of mechatronics and intelligent manufacturing to a platform for academic exchanges, and providing a platform for sharing scientific research achievements and cutting-edge technologies, understanding academic development trends, broadening research ideas, strengthening academic research and discussion, and promoting industrial cooperation of academic achievements. The conference invites experts, scholars, business people and other relevant personnel from universities and research institutions at home and abroad to attend and exchange.The list of Committees are available in this pdf.

Preface

We are glad to introduce you that the 2021 International Conference on Mechatronics Technology and Aerospace Engineering (ICMTAE 2021) was successfully held on December 24, 2021. Considering worldwide travel restriction and the impact of COVID-19, ICMTAE 2021 was carried out in the form of virtual conference to avoid personnel gatherings. Because most participants were still highly enthusiastic about participating in this conference, we chose to carry out ICMTAE 2021 via online platform according to the original schedule instead of postponing it.ICMTAE 2021 focused on "Mechatronics", "Electrical and Electronic Technology", "Aerospace Engineering" and "Aeronautical Engineering", etc. The conference provided an international platform for experts, professors, scholars and engineers from universities, research institutes, enterprises and institutions at home and abroad to share their professional experiences, expand their professional networks, exchange new ideas and present their research results, discuss the key challenges and research directions facing the development of this field, promote the development and application of theories and technologies in universities and enterprises in this field, and also provide a platform for the participants to establish their business and application. It also provided a platform for participants to establish business or research contacts and find global partners for their future careers. Experts and scholars from universities and research institutions at home and abroad are warmly welcomed to submit papers and attend the conference!List of Committee member are available in this pdf.

Integration of Mechatronic and Automation Technology in Sustainable Farming for Achieving Food Security in Kenya

Advanced farming that involves modern technology, especially in large scale, can aid in attaining food security for any given country. In this study, the prospects of automation, mechatronics and the developments for modern farming are explored for sustainable agriculture in Kenya. For the purpose of technological diversification, the use of mechatronics and automation in various smart farming technological systems is presented. It is possible to step up development in realizing food security in Kenya with the use of these modern farming techniques among other similar technologies. The use Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IOT), Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communications, photovoltaic thermal solar systems, cloud data storage and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies that are utilized in autonomous tractors, drone farming, livestock monitoring, smart poultry, dairy, irrigation, greenhouse, and farm warehouse systems are discussed. These advances can result in significant increase in production, efficiency, profits, as well as better monitoring, surveillance and tracking in the farm. Finally, the impact of these technologies on agriculture in relation to sustainable food security is explored, where it is demonstrated that mechatronic farm automation integrated with the mobile applications can offer better farm monitoring, increase yields as well as contribute towards better land utilization.

シングルボードコンピュータを用いた機械工学プロジェクト授業への実践

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Kanagawa Institute of Technology, first-year students take a class called "Mechanical Engineering Project I" which aims to develop an interest in, awareness of, and understanding of the importance of mechanical engineering. By the way, many of the products around us are composed of mechatronics, which is a fusion of mechanical engineering and electronic engineering. We believe that it is important to be exposed to and understand the fundamentals of mechatronics technology. Therefore, we launched and practiced a new theme of "moving things by programming" and "learning the basics of dynamics of machinery" using a single board computer in the class.

Preface

The 2021 2nd International Conference on Mechatronics Technology and Intelligent Manufacturing (ICMTIM 2021) was planned to be held on August 13-15, 2021 in Hangzhou, China. Due to the impact of COVID-19, many communities from all over the world were under strict health measures and strict travel restrictions, and participants of 2021 2nd International Conference on Mechatronics Technology and Intelligent Manufacturing (ICMTIM 2021) also meet with the difficulty of travel restrictions. For communities, if our conference was not held in a virtual form, it would add huge work on traffic system, Exit-Entry system, medical system, etc., which is quite a serious issue, to actively respond to the call of the government, to strengthen the protection work, to effectively reduce people gathering and prevent COVID-19, considering the situation that most of the authors would like to publish their articles and make academic communications as scheduled, ICMTIM 2021 was held online instead of postponing the conference. It was a challenge, not only to the organizers, but also to the participants who were delivering their speeches using videoconference tools, under different time zones.List of Committee member, Committee Chair, International Technical Committee, Organizing Committee are available in this pdf.
