Environmental conditions around the work location of the insulator greatly affect its performance. Areas with high levels of pollution will result in the insulator being damaged quickly. The effect of seawater and fly-ash contaminants on the three types of insulators is discussed in this study. Experimental approaches and FEM-based simulations have been carried out. Pollution levels in seawater contaminants were standardized using ESDD. Meanwhile, the level of pollution in fly-ash contaminants is standardized using NSDD. Simulations and experiments were carried out at four levels of contamination, namely light, medium, heavy and very heavy. Then the simulation and test results are compared. The greater the ESDD and NSDD values, the greater the leakage current.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous buildings in Sabah have become defective with the severity level of damages as absolute (non-repairable) in the RC beam-column joints and soft-storey structures. Seismic design and construction requirements were not considered in most buildings in Sabah. Hence, this research is to investigate how to mitigate the effect of earthquake on the low-rise building using a more practical and economical method. A stilt house model is developed using ABAQUS software to determine the behaviour of the stilt, low-rise building subjected to earthquake by constructing shear wall at the short columns support. There are 4 models constructed namely, frame model without shear wall (W1), with shear wall of 100mm (W2), 300mm (W3) and 500mm (W4). The results of seismic response are evaluated and compared. Different length of shear wall affects the displacement and stress of the frame model. As shear wall length increases, the displacement, stress at columns and stress at walls decreases. Thus, adding a shear wall can be used to retrofit stilt houses and a credible way to mitigate damage due to earthquake load for new houses along hill slopes","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For comparison, the fuel and combustor variations were carried out with backward-facing step size (bfs) as the flame holder in the combustor.The bfs are varied by changing the combustor's length of the inlet diameter. However, the size of the outlet diameter of the combustor is always constant to obtain a continuous combustion reaction zone. Biogas/methane (CH4), butane gas (C4H10), and a mixture of biogas-butane are used as fuel, with air as the oxidizing agent. The results showed that the type of fuel, reactant flow velocity, and equivalent ratio that occurred in the fuel variation and the bfs variation of the cylindrical msc influenced the flame characterization. Stable flame forms in the stoichiometric to rich equivalent ratio area and the medium to high reactant velocity area. The result shows that the equivalent ratio (φ) is 1.23 –1.44, the flame stability limit at the combustor ratio of 0.7, and biogas fuel has low flame stability compared to butane and the biogas-butane mixture. Moreover, the flame can be stable on butane fuel in the equivalent ratio (φ) 0.85 –1.43 and (φ) 0.86 –1.19 for the biogas-butane fuel mixture. Furthermore, when the D1/D2 increases, the flame stability of biogas tends to be wider than when the combustor ratio is 0.7, where the equivalent ratio (φ) is 0.98 –1.42. The result also shows that the flame can be stable on butane fuel in the equivalent ratio (φ) 0.71 –1.43, and for the biogas-butane fuel mixture, the flame can be stable in the equivalent ratio (φ) 0.69 –1.32. However, the best characterization of biogas combustion is formed in the variation of biogas treatment by mixing butane gas (biogas-butane). One of the methods used is called with a wider flame stability limit area. More varied flame visualization variations with a more widely distributed flame mode map, flame, and combustor wall temperature. The result shows that the combustor wall temperature of butane is around 225-250 °C, higher than the characterization of biogas combustion around 150°C, where it's without mixing butane gas for the possible test ranges.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The artificial lighting system and daylight simulation were carried out using DIALux to model artificial lighting and daylight illuminance levels matrices. The proposed FLTM was developed and simulated using MATLAB and validated and compared with other controllers, including developed FLC and artificial neural network (ANN) based control. The simulation results showed that the proposed FLTM successfully improved the performance of developed FLC in terms of a fully satisfied visual comfort set-point. It also attained higher energy savings of 2% than ANN and achieved the closest to preset visual comfort compared with other controllers. Moreover, the proposed method consumes less computational effort, and it is easy to integrate with developed FLC and daylight-linked control of the lighting system.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The framework of energy management for Smart Home appliances is presented in the present paper, taking account of appliance and electric vehicle participation. The approach to the energy schduling at day-ahead is defined as three strategies, such as optimum use of existing appliances, optimal production of electricity resources and optimal discharge and charging for electrical vehicles. Reducing energy generation costs and minimizing emissions of air pollutants are key objectives.

A six-axis drone's main problem is that its significant weight limits how much it can be used. As a result, the flexibility and endurance of the drone's design are necessary for excellent performance during altitude displacement. In order to create a body frame for the quadcopter, the project intends to solve the weight optimization problem via generative design. The three main steps of the optimization attempts utilizing generative design procedures are (a) abstraction, (b) initialization, and (c) interpretation. These are accomplished by employing the five generative design processes. The stress analysis and the generative design process were used to confirm that the generative design technique will help reduce the drone's weight. The drone using three (3) generative designs, was set to a total weight of less than 1kg. The results show that Generative Design 2 shows good optimization as follows, (a)50.00% of parts of assembly optimized from eight parts to four parts, (b) 54.09% of the weight of the body frame optimized from 1.1565kg to 0.531kg, (c) 36.17% of the height of the body frame optimized from 94mm to 60mm, (d) 45.44% of stress analysis increased from 3.457MPa to 5.028MPa, (e) 83.00% reduction of displacement elongation from 3.918mm to 0.666mm and (f) 61.25% of production time optimized from 40 hours to 15.5 hours.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In biomedical science, frequency plays an important role in delivering heat as in bioheat transfer. In bioheat transfer studies, heat transfer in the human body can be used as one way of treatment such as therapy. At high temperatures that are usually above 40oC, the cell will die and cannot develop again this is called hyperthemia therapy. This therapy is commonly used in medicine with the function to kill tumor cells. There are 3 differences in hyperthemia therapy there are external, cavity and intersitital and interstitial hyperthermia therapy has better healing ability because heatis directly delivered to the tumor tissue to minimize tissue that no tumor is exposed to therapeutic temperature (40-46oC). Then the author will conduct a study with an analysis of heat transfer carried out on five layers of the human body, namely the epidermis, dermis, fat, muscle, and bones by applying the interstitial method of hyperthermia therapy and influenced by frequencies with a value of 434; 915; 2450 MHz completed using finite element method with unsteady state conditions in two axial dimensions. This study showed that frequency affects the value of temperature distribution in the five layers of the body. The greater the frequency value given, the more easily distributed the temperature will be because the frequency will provide greater electromagnetic waves if the frequency is increased.With interstitial hyperthermia would be optimize the therapeutic temperature more stable because of the needle as the media of the heat transfer. The methods of the interstitial treatment research areinsert the needle to the sarcoma hand tumor. This look very simple but need more preparation like, voltage, frequency, measure the metabolic and blood perfusion of the patient and made a analytics measure to do the treatment. The result of the research is heat that spread by interstitial hyperthermia are stable at 40-46oC which is the therapeutic temperature of tumor treatment,and the temperature will be increase with upgrade the power input of the source and the frequencies. The research has a conclusion that interstitial hyperthermia on sarcoma tumor especially on hand tumor sarcoma is effectively because the heat is spread well on the tumor at therapeutic temperature and frequencies that applied in this research is optimal for the treatment because it could keep the temperature steady on around 40-46oC.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
