The heat generated during the welding process tends not to be evenly distributed between the weld metal, base metal, and heat affected zone and produces residual stresses. To obtain the desired result from the welding process it needs to be subjected to a heat treatment for removing residual stress through pre-weld and post-weld heat-treatment proc...

To join ferrous and non-ferrous metals, metal inert gas welding (MIG) is an essential welding operation. The welding quality is affected by the MIG input welding parameters, and the weld bend geometry affects the weld quality. This paper describes the factors that affect the welding parameters (voltage, current, speed, and AISI 1020 steel penetrati...

Machine-learning is one of popular technique suitable for adaptation in Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4). There is a dire problem whereby increasing occupational accident especially in the manufacturing sectors. The root cause of these accidents are because of fatigue while performing repetitive task in production line. To solve this problem, a rese...

This project titled Preliminary Design And Packaging Of Two Passenger Micro-Electric Vehicle focusses on the 5th percentile for women and the 95th percentile for men drivers. A micro electric vehicle (MEV) is a vehicle controlled by an electric engine, rather than an inside ignition motor. This project produces packaging design of two passenger MEV...

Car drag reduction activities are parts of exterior body improvement which related to energy consumption, wind noise and stability of overall vehicle. Micro Electric Vehicle (MEV) has emerged as one of human mobility that aligned with the concept of low energy consumption. The concept has gained popularity due to its simplicity in design and manufa...

The usage of palm oil diesel blends as an alternative fuel in a diesel engine has been proven by many researchers. However, the high viscosity of palm oil produced heavy low-volatility compounds that are difficult to combust in the main combustion phase, and produce longer combustion period when compared to diesel. This phenomenon will contribute t...

This paper covers the design and fabrication of a micro-hydro turbine that is using a conventional water pipeline to generate additional home power. The process started with identifying the suitable design and then uses the standard design as reference to develop the micro-hydro turbine. The project included computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simul...

The construction industry involves risky and unhealthy operations which result in many human tragedies, discourage workers, disrupt construction, delay progress, and adversely affect cost, productivity, and reputation. Construction managers focus mainly on productivity in terms of cost, quality, and time. Construction project can never achieve its...

This study employed the Taguchi approach in combination with finite element analysis (DEFORM3D) to investigate face milling process onto AL6061. The factors studied in this investigation were cutting speed, feed rate, and axial rake angle. The simulation of flank wear was generated according to Usuis wear model though the L9 (34) of the orthogonal...

This paper presents the combination between the simulation analysis of FEM (DFORM 3D) and Taguchi method approach. The Taguchi method was used to find the optimize parameter design contribute to Flank wear. The parameters were evaluated are coated surface treatment, cutting speed and feed rate. The Usui's model carried out to measure the flank wear...

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of current on performance of EDM process of Allegheny Ludlum D2 Tool Steel (UNS T30402). The effect of varying the machining parameters on the machining responses such as material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), and surface roughness (Ra) have been investigated. In this study, circular...

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using parametric programming in the implementation of feature-based machining. Custom Macro B was used in this study. Macro programming technique comprises of a main program and subprograms. NC program for a basic type of machining feature namely pocket was first generated using macro and CAM system. Macro pr...

In this study, the Taguchi method was used to find the optimal surface roughness when HSS insert face cutting on material AL6061. The milling parameters of this study were evaluated based on various factor such as spindle speed, feed rate and axial rake angle. An orthogonal array L934, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (A...

This research was conducted to analyze the potential fatigue area in term of stress distribution, punch elastic deformation and forging load and calculated the number of life cycles of the punch by using the integrated system combined a finite element analysis (DEFORMTM F3 version 6.0) and stress-life approach are presented. The fatigue life analys...
