The vibration method is the most widely used for inducing powder flow. In this method, a hopper containing powder is vibrated by a piezoelectric system to allow powder flow. However, there are several drawbacks in this method, particularly in the degree of consistency of the resulting flow. This occurs because the vibration characteristics created have a single axis direction, resulting in which can lead to powder compaction. To resolve this problem, this research is conducted to determine the flow properties of titanium powder dispensed by 2-axis vibration. The titanium (Ti) powder having a size of less than 74 μm in the powder hopper was vibrated for 15 min by a DC motor and the weight of the dispensed powder was measured to evaluate the consistency of the resulting powder flow. The result shows that the powder flow generated by the DC motor was consistent during the period of dispensing. However, the powder flow rate dropped up to 8.6% during 5-10 min of dispensing at a speed of 1800 rpm. In conclusion, the 2-axis vibration by using a DC motor could prevent the powder compacting phenomenon and ensure a consistent flow of micro-sized powders during the dispensing process.","PeriodicalId":8039,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics and Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139441761","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}

Battery packs monitoring by Battery Management System in electric vehicles require accurate monitoring. The inaccuracy of monitoring such property can lead to low safety, low efficiency and battery’s life reduction. Estimating state of charge (SoC) to prevent battery damage from overcharging and over discharging. Some of the methods used to estimate SoC such as Coulomb Counting have errors during the charge and discharge process. This research proposes a counting method for measuring SoC with the artificial neural networks (ANN) to provide more precise estimation. Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) is an ANN model that can give an accurate estimation of SoC by learning data of the charge-discharge process performed on sample batteries. The sample batteries are tested with a battery analyzer to get its charging-discharging data consisting of variables such as voltage, current, capacity, and time with C-Rate variations. These variables data are then learned by the modeled FFNN to predict SoC value. The FFNN model consisted of 16 neurons in the first layer, 8 neurons in the second layer, and 4 neurons in the third layer. The predicted SoC value from FFNN has a similar value with its real SoC value. The relationship between SoC and battery voltage is plotted in a curve and shows an identical characteristic with how the SoC-Voltage curve of a battery should be and have a low mae value. This FFNN model can be applied further such as in electric vehicles to maintain its safety and for longer use.","PeriodicalId":8039,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics and Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139442907","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}

Tensile test results show that 6.25% pre-deformation given on the steel increases of yield strength. In contrast, the ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation decrease. The FCG rate (da/dN) of AISI 1020 steel without pre-deformation determined at stage II is 6.12´10-11ΔK2.94 m/cycle and steel with 6.25% pre-deformation is 8.03´10-10ΔK2.02 m/cycle. According to microstructural observation for the pre-deformation steel, plastic deformation formed on the steel in the axial direction affects the FCG rate of the steel, leads to crack retardation for certain period of time. SEM fractographic observation on the fracture surface of the steel shows that a transgrannular crack length of 12 mm for 42,000 cycles occurs at ferrite grains. The steel failed when the crack length reached ~18.1 mm within 43,500 cycles and continuing up to 43,549 cyles, the steel experienced static failure.","PeriodicalId":8039,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics and Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443239","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 process is conducted by pouring aluminum metal into a water-cooled mold. The billet shell begins to form when molten aluminum contact directly with the mold (this is also known as primary cooling). Afterward, the starting block is pulled downwards at a specified casting speed to achieve desired aluminum billet. The start-up phase during the DC casting process is considered a crucial step since it may determine the formation of defects in the casting products. This research aims to investigate the casting defects on the aluminum alloy that were formed during the start-up process of DC casting. The results show that the billet failed to form following the downward movement of starting block. Meanwhile, the billet tended to stick to the mold wall due to several factors, such as too low a pouring temperature, a less-round mold shape, the poor quality of the hot top and graphite ring, and the water that entered the mold during the casting process. It also noted several markers of the casting defects that occurred during the DC casting process such as liquation or bleeding, cold folding, billet stuck in the mold, butt structure, and rough billet surface.","PeriodicalId":8039,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics and Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139444612","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 instance, residues of malathion were found on some vegetables. Molecularly-imprinted polymers (MIP) have been recently developed for sensing of pesticide residues. This study prepared malathion-imprinted polymers via precipitation polymerization and deposited on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) electrodes. FTIR spectroscopy proved the incorporation and removal of malathion in the matrix of MIP. SEM images revealed that MIP particles are larger than the non-imprinted polymer (NIP) particles due to the incorporation of malathion. Binding experiments were done using standard malathion solutions of 10 to 60 ppm. The MIP-QCM sensor had a greater response than the NIP-QCM sensor. This is due to the specific binding sites in the MIP matrix. On the other hand, the response of NIP-QCM sensor is attributed to the non-specific adsorption sites in its matrix. A sensitivity and detection limit of 1.62 Hz·L/mg and 5.67 ppm, respectively were determined for the MIP-QCM sensor.

Therefore, we should blaze the path leading to sustainability and supply security, as well as identify the factors affecting these concepts. Thus, in this paper, the main factors are listed and defined. They are divided into two main categories: the positives and the negatives. The positives are the longevity of the minerals' mining, the index of the annual met need, the environmental-social condition of the resources, and the condition of the resources in friend countries. Also, the negative ones are the harmful chemicals released, the energy required per ton of minerals, annual CO2 emitted per ton, and recyclability. Accordingly, the factors can be used to make a strategic plan for the future of the minerals supply of a country.
