PublicationA study of new washing process which combines deflection and abrasion action(IOP Publishing, 2020)
; ; ; ;Abdellah el-hadj AbdellahThis study aimed to determine the optimum washing of laboratory washing model that design to stimulate the active washing process and passive commercial washing machine are compared in order to determine the best washing result. Variables of the study include water speed, washing time and radial nozzle inclination angle. The rotational system of an automatic washing machine has two major technical difficulties. One is the collision of the tub against the frame at the beginning of its early spinning stage. A factor that causes such instability of the rotational object can be attributed to the deflection of the liquid inside the liquid balancer due to the unbalance mass. Proposed a new washing technology and new design of the washing machine can be as a base of its new type. These machines have better outcome data; improve quality of washing process and effective use of washing liquid. New washing machine is simple design, does not have rotary parts at all and uses active process of washing process with squeezing of linens and more productive then known washing machines. Also, this machine can recycle and feed cleaned washing liquid. Additionally, in use of ultrasonic technology of washing process, new machine today will be perfect design. -
PublicationErgonomic study of X-L wheelchairWheelchairs have been used widely as the one of the vehicles that are designated purposely to help the disabled patient to easily move around. However, the standard wheelchairs currently available in the market are mostly fit to patients which have average size and can only accommodate the patient with maximum body mass up to 100kg. When a big size or extra-large (XL) patient with body mass more than 100 kg uses this standard wheelchair, they may feel discomfort, cramped as well as restricted movement. Furthermore, the structure of standard wheelchairs may not be safe enough to hold the load of big size patient weight. Therefore, this project is focused to study the appropriate an ergonomic body sizes and dimensions of big patients that body mass ranging from minimum 100kg to maximum 150kg. The investigation is focused on the customer needs as well as anthropometry body measurements. The data was collected from the questionnaires and direct interview among 30 personnel with the body mass in target range. The information gathered then had been used to custom design the XL wheelchair that fulfil the most requirements and having sturdy structure that safety to be used.

PublicationOptimization parameter effects on the quality surface finish of the three-dimensional printing (3D-printing) fused deposition modeling (FDM) using RSM( 2019-07-30)
; ; ; ;Effendi M.S.M.Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology which is used to print the 3D (Three-Dimensional) object. It has relatively low surface qualities that will affect the performance of the printed part. Thus, this research has been done to analyze the selected parameter effect on the quality surface finish of the 3D printing objects and find the optimum response of processing parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In order to predict the surface roughness, three parameters have been chosen which are layer thickness, print speed and fill density. The relations among responses and process parameters are determined and their validity is proved using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Then, the response surface plots are analyzed to establish main factor effects and their interaction on responses. The confirmation experiment has been carried out with the response optimizer to get the optimum parameter of the surface finish quality. Based on the results obtained, the surface roughness is mainly affected by the layer thickness compared to the fill density and print speed.3 27
