The calculation of fluid leaks in the peristaltic hydraulic machine

BACKGROUND: In the peristaltic pumps a significant gap can remain in the compressed working body, and therefore volumetric losses may significantly influence on the actual flow rate of the pump. The gap’s shape is determined by approximate dependencies or by numerical methods, but both of these approaches have their own drawbacks. AIMS: Using both theoretical dependencies and numerical methods, to determine parameters of the gap in the compressed pump’s hose and to calculate fluid leaks in the pump. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object of this study is a peristaltic pump that uses a hose compressed by two rollers. The theoretical flow rate was determined according to the existing theory of positive displacement hydraulic machines, through the rotor speed and the volume of the working chambers. It was assumed that the hose in the pump body has the shape of a torus, and the SolidWorks Simulation software product was used to determine the shape of the gap in the compression region and the amount by which the volume inside the hose decreases due to compression by the roller. The resulting geometry of the deformed hose was transferred to the STAR-CCM+ computational fluid dynamics program, where the velocity field in the gap and the dependence of the gap resistance coefficient on the Reynolds number were obtained. For the final determination of leaks in the gap, the Weisbach formula for local losses in the gap and the Darcy-Weisbach formula for friction losses along the length of the pump hose were used. The Darcy coefficient was calculated assuming that the flow in the pump hose is laminar. RESULTS: Comparison of calculation results with experimental dependencies showed that the proposed leaks calculation method in the pump can be used at laminar flow and rotation speeds of the pump rotor not less than 100 min-1. CONCLUSIONS: The usage of theoretical dependencies and numerical methods to determine the gap’s parameters and to calculate leaks in the pump has shown its effectiveness, but for more accurate results, it is necessary to take into account additional factors due to the fact that the flow in the pump is non-stationary.

FABRICATION AND RULA ANALYSIS OF HAND-ARM REHABILITATION TRAINER FOR CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM CEREBRAL PALSY

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition that affects a person’s mobility, muscle tone, and posture, resulting in disability. Individuals with CP often require the assistance of a caregiver to carry out their daily activities. Hence, strengthening their hands through exercise is critical in increasing voluntary control. A hand-arm trainer is a tool that provides assistive training for CP patients during therapy to strengthen their hands. It improves motor skills, particularly in the forearm and wrist areas, because one of the most important functions of the limbs is the ability of the hands to grab and hold objects. This study was conducted to develop a hand-arm trainer for children with CP aged six to twelve years old who have Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level III and IV. The outstanding design was selected based on the highest score. Using the Pugh Concept Selection Method, Design 2 was chosen because it received the highest-ranking score compared to the other two designs. According to SOLIDWORKS simulation results, the maximum stress for Design 2 is 19.845 x 107 N/m2, while the maximum yield stress is 22.059 x 107 N/m2. The selected raw materials for Design 2 cost approximately RM 49.30 and weigh 5.438 kg. Adjustable height, adjustable resistance, and ease of maintenance are just a few features of the chosen hand-arm trainer in fabricated Design 2. The level of risk of disorder using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was conducted in accordance with the anthropometric dimensions of children under 12 years old. The detailed design of manikin posture is modelled and analysed. A RULA score of 3 was obtained, indicating that the person is working in a posture that could present some risk of injury from their work posture. Therefore, a change in work posture may be necessary to avoid the risk of injury.

This study looks at the modeling and stability analysis of an existing elevated solar structure to allow solar energy production and agriculture on the same land (Agrivoltaics). The existing elevated structure accommodates 32 solar panels, each with a capacity of 345 W at a height of approximately 6 m at the center. The impact of the gaps in the 32-panel configuration at this height on the wind load in the elevated solar structure is determined.The study uses computational fluid dynamics (Solid Works Flow simulation) followed by the results used in the static study (Solid Works simulation) to assess the overall stress and strain resulting in the elevated structure. Distortion Energy theory is followed to compare the von Mises stress resulting from the simulation with the Yield strength of the material used to construct the elevated support structure. The findings demonstrate that solar panel spacing can be a key factor in lowering wind loads on the raised support structure.

STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF DRILLING EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS USING MATERIALS WITH THERMOELASTIC PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS

Alloys exhibiting thermoelastic phase transformations are increasingly being used in various industries. This is due to their shape memory effect and the phenomenon of pseudoelasticity (superelasticity), which can significantly improve the performance of various technical systems. Equipment for drilling oil and gas wells is one of the most demanding in terms of reliability and service life, in connection with which the gradual introduction of the above-described intelligent materials and the phenomena they manifest in the oil and gas industry began. This article analyzes the developed design and proposes methods of mounting/dismounting roller bit elements made according to the proposed design using an alloy with thermoelastic phase transformations, namely the shape memory effect, and compares them with existing designs. Computational studies and computational analysis of the design of the fastening of drilling equipment elements using the Solid Works program and the Solid Works Simulation module were carried out, which showed significant advantages of the proposed method when applying the shape memory effect as a method of geometric fixation during installation compared to interference fit. Tests were also carried out on the IR-200-0 breaking machine in order to verify and confirm the theoretical results obtained using special equipment, with the use of which the reliability of fixation due to the intermediate bushing with taper was determined. As an example, sleeves with an inclination angle to the axis of the cone of 3 degrees were made, fixed in the hole with a reverse taper with a response angle of inclination. The tests confirmed the assumptions made and the results obtained in the course of theoretical calculations and computer modeling, showing that even in the martensitic state this alloy fixes the teeth in special holes of the rolling cutter more reliably compared to the interference fit, which, in turn, makes it possible to conclude that it is advisable to use the proposed installation method, which gives obvious advantages over existing ones.

Design and development of smart AI-based voice assistive ergonomic commode wheelchair for mobility and rehabilitation

This study focuses on enhancing assistive devices for the elderly and disabled, primarily addressing the challenges associated with traditional wheelchairs. While wheelchairs are widely used for basic mobility, the research identifies several issues in existing products, such as a lack of attention to ergonomic features, anthropometric principles, and limited technological interventions. One major concern is the discomfort experienced by users over extended periods, especially when essential design elements like height and back adjustments are neglected. Another challenge highlighted is the issue of defecation, particularly in the absence of a caregiver. This dependency on caretakers can be mentally burdensome for users, raising privacy concerns during such personal activities. To address these issues, this research proposes a solution that integrates ergonomic features and incorporates low-cost technological interventions, including artificial intelligence-based voice assistance. The ultimate goal of this paper is to design and introduce an AI-based voice-assisted ergonomic wheelchair that not only supports basic mobility but also ensures comfort over extended periods. The proposed solution aims to incorporate a commode feature for defecation within a smart ergonomic wheelchair equipped with voice assistance and provide comfort to the user(s). The design prioritizes anthropometric dimensions, ensuring comfort and convenience for users across various age groups. Employing SolidWorks software, a stable and robust model has been designed, and its durability was assessed through stress analysis using the SolidWorks simulation tool by applying a 981 Newton load on the wheelchair's frame using two different materials (steel and aluminum). The maximum stress value is less than the yield strength, and the deformation is 2.57 e+00 mm for the steel frame, indicating that the design is stable and durable compared to the aluminum structure. The proposed voice-assistive, ergonomic, AI-based wheelchair with a commode cavity is a revolutionary development for the healthcare sector in terms of innovation.

Design of a Thermally Resistant and Safe Door for a Medical Waste Pyrolysis Incinerator in a Green Environment

Abstract The door of a medical waste pyrolysis incinerator plays a critical role in ensuring safe and efficient operation, as it must withstand extreme conditions, including combustion temperatures ranging from 1000 °C to 1200 °C and internal pressure. This study focuses on designing a door that is not only robust and airtight but also highly resistant to these high temperatures, ensuring both operational safety and environmental protection. The design process began with a combustion chamber capacity of 0.5 m3, with the incinerator body measuring 900 mm x 900 mm x 1200 mm and the door measuring 650 mm x 650 mm. The door was fabricated using steel with a yield strength of 245 MPa, equipped with locking bolts, and sealed with high-temperature-resistant asbestos to prevent leaks. The design was initially developed using 2D AutoCAD and 3D SolidWorks software. Analytical calculations were validated through SolidWorks simulations, revealing that the stress at the critical point was 58.185 MPa, providing a safety factor of 4.2 times above the yield stress. This robust design not only enhances the durability of the incinerator door but also contributes to the overall safety and effectiveness of medical waste management, supporting broader environmental safety goals.

Revolutionizing Wing-in-Ground Effect: Investigating Structural Rigidity

The Wing-in-ground (WIG) effect aircraft utilize the ground effect to maintain flight above water or another surface while minimizing continuous contact with the ground. The propulsion of this aircraft primarily relies on the aerodynamic lift generated by specially designed wings, hulls, or other components that harness the ground effect phenomenon. The problem statement that occurs once conventional boats fail to successfully carry out the mission of intercepting intruders trespassing on national waterways. Due to inherent constraints in watercraft technical standards, existing watercraft technology lacks the power to pursue intruders to their full extent. To further improve the WIG craft operation, we propose enhancing its performance by using materials with better mechanical qualities and optimizing the construction to lower its overall size. These enhancements aim to bolster the WIG craft's capabilities and enable more efficient and effective interception of intruders in water environments. This research aims to investigate structural material qualities suited for WIG effect application and structural rigidity characteristics, with a particular focus on the joining model. In order to accomplish these objectives, the study utilizes Solidworks simulation to replicate the WIG craft model. The static simulation involves testing four different parameters: Models A, B, C, and D. The key focus during the model simulation is varying the types of connections used. The simulation data is then examined to estimate the strength of the material structure. The material applied to the WIG craft structure is S-glass fiber and 6061 aluminum alloy. Model D produced acceptable values for the least maximum stress, strain, and resultant displacement, among other models. The maximum stress value of Model D is 1,601 MPa, which does not exceed the tensile strength of the material. For the rigidity analysis in operating conditions, the Solidworks flow simulation is conducted. The manipulated variable for flow simulation is the velocity of airflow. The velocities conducted are 60 km/h, 90 km/h, 120 km/h, 15 km/h and 180 km/h. The flow simulation shows the maximum total pressure exerted on the structure, where the highest velocity produced is 103433 Pa. From both static and airflow simulation, it was concluded that the WIG craft model has good rigidity in terms of withstanding the external load and airflow pressure during the cruising conditions proposed.

Analysis of effect on temperature field of tire curing process by initial temperatures and condensate discharging

To improve the heat transfer efficiency and temperature distribution uniformity of steam-heating vulcanization processes, a 3D simulation model was established by Solidworks and transient simulation studies were carried out by Fluent 2021 R1. The effects of four initial tire temperatures and five condensate discharging schemes on the heat transfer efficiency and temperature distribution uniformity were investigated. The study finds that: (1) At the end of the stage of filling the capsule with high-temperature and high-pressure steam, the temperature of the lower mold sidewall is 152.08 °C which is significantly higher than that of the lower mold bead with 128.03 °C, the lower mold shoulder with 115.00 °C, and the lower mold crown with 109.57 °C. (2) With the initial tire temperature increasing from 25 °C to 55 °C, the final temperatures at the lower mold crown and the upper mold sidewall are increased by 12.00 °C and 2.27 °C, respectively, indicating that the increase in the initial temperature helps to raise the temperature at difficult vulcanization locations of the tire. (3) It is recommended to carry out condensate discharging when the volume fraction of condensate at the lower mold sidewall is 0.2 %∼0.3 %, which improves the temperature uniformity in the steam-heating vulcanization process.

Design Features of a Removable Module for Securing Containers in Gondola Cars

Purpose. The main purpose of the study is to highlight the design features of the design of a removable module for fastening containers in gondola cars. Methodology. For the safe transportation of containers in gondola cars, it is proposed to use a removable module. This module operates on the principle of an intermediate adapter between the container and the open wagon body. The choice of the profiles of the beams of the frame of the removable module was made according to the moments of resistance of their components. To do this, the core system of the removable module frame was constructed and calculated using the Lira CAD software package. According to the maximum bending moment acting in the module frame due to the moment of resistance and the known permissible stresses, the profile of the frame beams was selected. Taking into account the selected profile of the frame, its spatial model was built and strength calculations were performed. The finite element method implemented in SolidWorks Simulation was used for strength calculations. The calculation was carried out for two loading schemes of the removable module: the effect of a vertical load and the effect of vertical and longitudinal loads. Findings. Based on the calculation, the profile of the removable module was selected according to the determined value of the resistance moment - a square pipe with a height and width of 300 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm. The results of the strength calculations of the removable module showed that for the case of its perception of a vertical load, the maximum stresses are 112.5 MPa. The maximum displacements occur in the upper parts of the superstructures and are about 1 mm. For the case of the vertical and longitudinal loads perceived by the removable module, the maximum stresses in its structure amounted to 287.6 MPa. The maximum displacements occurred in the end superstructure located on the side of the load applied to the removable module. These displacements amounted to 2.16 mm. Thus, the strength of the removable module for the considered loading schemes is ensured. Originality. A scientific approach to the design of a removable module for securing containers in gondola carsis proposed. Practical value. The research will contribute to the creation of recommendations for the design of modular-type vehicle structures, as well as to improving the efficiency of railway transport operation.

Conducted at Universitas Mercu Buana, the project involved the design, manufacturing, and testing of the frame to determine its load-bearing capacity. The results from the SolidWorks simulations confirmed the frame's structural integrity, which was further validated by its successful application in a practical setup. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a systematic design approach, integrating material selection, load analysis, and simulation to achieve an optimal solution. The findings contribute valuable insights into the use of ASTM A500 hollow sections in structural applications, particularly where both strength and weight are critical. This work sets a precedent for future designs in mechanical engineering, offering a reliable framework for developing durable and efficient testing equipment.

Analysis of pipe fitting sealing torque with SolidWorks simulations

The tightness and stability of the pipe connections are particularly important for pressurized environments. Pipe fittings are one of the most important subgroups of fittings. These fittings are not only used for connection purposes, but these fasteners may also have additional purposes such as sealing. In this study, a simulation model of the pipe fitting was created to evaluate the sealing performance. The obtained forces in the simulations were then used in the modified version of the classical bolt-tightening moment equation. In this equation, the additional parameter, R, is embedded. This parameter depends on the distance from the center (torque arm, x), slope parameter (k), and friction constant (S) between the body or nut and the ring parts. The consistency and applicability of the new equation were discussed by comparing the obtained results with the experimental results. It has been observed that there is a good agreement between the comparative results.

Abstract Spreading through airflow is one of the most common routes for the transmission of viruses, which may result in serious public health problems. To acquire a healthy space for the community library, designing a reasonable ventilation system is a vital measure which can reduce the risk of transmission of the virus effectively. The purpose of this research is to study natural ventilation methods in an epidemiological insight for the design of a healthy community library by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. Five typical opening types of windows were selected and studied in the research on the ventilation of the yoga room of a community library, with airflow evaluated by the ACH method, so as to search for the most suitable window type to avoid airborne virus transmission. The results acquired by SOLIDWORKS simulation showed that 75%, 90%, and 100% openings corresponding to Jalousie, casement, and double casement window types respectively are optimal in community space. The natural ventilation design by proper windows can be applied in the community library and other public spaces.

A New Temporary Training Prosthesis for People With Transtibial Amputation: a Technical Note.

While waiting to receive a prosthesis, individuals with amputations could benefit from using a temporary training prosthesis to expedite the rehabilitation process and prepare them for subsequent walking with their prosthesis. To design and build a temporary training prosthesis for people with a transtibial amputation. Various temporary training prostheses were designed and simulated using SolidWorks software, followed by fabricating and testing multiple prototypes. Initial tests were conducted on five able bodied subjects without amputation to evaluate comfort, ensure the prototype functioned as intended, and to refine the design. The final prototype design had no weight-bearing on the residual limb end and required the person to wear a shrinker or silicone liner. SolidWorks simulations showed that the device could tolerate up to 200 kg load. Subjective feedback indicated that body weight is primarily supported by the thigh section, while partially utilizing the patellar tendon and tibial flares. The thigh section can be shifted 5 cm up or down and 2.5 cm to the front or back from the knee joint center (to enhance knee stability or function). Additionally, the thigh angle can be adjusted to 0, 5, 10, or 15 degrees to accommodate hip flexion contracture. The shank section width is adjustable and can be shifted up or down based on the residual limb shape. All five able-bodied participants successfully walked with the non-amputee version of the temporary prosthesis prototype and the device withstood walking, sitting, and standing loads. An adjustable temporary training prosthesis was successfully designed, and pilot tested by five able-bodied individuals. Future testing will involve five experienced prosthetic users before conducting trials with individuals with a new transtibial amputation.
