Tarakan was an oil-producing city had been known since 1896 that were explored in first time in authorized by Bataavishe Petroleum Maatchapij (BPM). The derrick was a petroleum drilling facility that were performed in steel truss structure. The derrick prototype had been modeled in 3D truss by utilizing SAP2000. The models had been classified into 2 models: perfect and imperfect models. The imperfections denoted by the percentage of elements loses (IM20, IM24), and IM16). Buckling analysis consisted in linear and nonlinear analysis had been evaluated. The 3D solid model (Abaqus) also performed for single element buckling. The results showed that perfect derrick model satisfied the strength and stability requirement . The percentage of element loss reduced the capacity 9.45%-37.83%. The IM16 model buckled at 4.27 T were based on nonlinear analysis and 18.50 T were based on linear analysis. The single elemen buckling was 20,63% of the largest compressive element

We present an experimental demonstration of a thermoelectric sensor coupled with a nanoantenna as an alternative option for detecting infrared energy. Two nanoantenna design (single element and an array) variations based on Yagi-Uda technology and one separate nano-thermoelectric junction array were fabricated and tested. The nanoantennas were tuned to operate and respond at a center wavelength of 1550 nm (193.5 THz) optical C-band window, but they also exhibited a resonance response when excited by lasers of various wavelengths (650 nm and 940 nm). The radiation-induced electric currents in the nanoantennas, coupled with a nano-thermoelectric sensor, produced a potential difference as per the Seebeck effect. With respect to the uniform thermal measurements of the reference nanoantenna, the experiments confirmed the detection properties of the proposed nanoantennas; the single element detected a peak percentage voltage hike of 28%, whereas the array detected a peak percentage voltage hike of 80% at the center wavelength. Compared to state-of-the-art thermoelectric designs, this was the first time that such peak percentage voltages were experimentally reported following a planar design based on the Seebeck principle.

Abstract. This paper proposes a methodology to automatically extract components of an oil storage tank from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds, and subsequently to create a three-dimensional (3D) solid model of the tank for numerical simulation. The proposed method is integrated into a smart analysis layer of a digital twin platform consisting of three main layers: (1) smart analysis, (2) data storage, and (3) visualisation and user interaction. In this proposed method, primary components of the tank were automatically extracted in a consecutive order from a shell wall to roof and floor. Voxel-based RANSAC is employed to extract voxels containing point clouds of the shell wall, while a valley-peak-valley pattern based on kernel density estimation is implemented to remove outlier points within voxels representing to the shell wall and re-extract data points within voxels adjoined to the shell wall. Moreover, octree-based region growing is employed to extract a roof and floor from remaining point clouds. An experimental showed that the proposed framework successfully extracted all primary components of the tank and created a 3D solid model of the tank automatically. Resulting point clouds of the shell wall were directly used for estimating deformation and a 3D solid model was imported into finite element analysis (FEA) software to assess the tank in terms of stress-strain. The demonstration shows that TLS point clouds can play an important role in developing the digital twin of the oil storage tank.

This paper presents an effective rule-based method for extracting and recognizing the machining features from 3D solid model. The machining feature is automatically recognized while considering the relationship between machining feature and machining process. This proposed method is capable of recognizing not only prismatic machining features but also multi-axis machining features from many kinds of complex design features in both protrusion and depression. It also succeeds in recognizing various types of interaction in a uniform way. The capability of the proposed method is demonstrated in one specific case study.

A comparative study of three different aluminium alloys, Al2618, Al4032 and Al6061 made internal combustion engine pistons is done on their responses under mechanical and thermal loads using finite element methods. In this study, a 3D solid model of piston is created in CATIA and the simulations of the static structural analysis, steady-state thermal analysis and transient thermal analysis are carried out in ANSYS. Stress and temperature distributions on critical areas of piston are pointed out for appropriate modification in piston design. The temperature and heat flux variations with time are presented in transient thermal analysis. Taguchi method and topological optimization are applied to optimize the process parameters and to select the appropriate material for the piston.

This paper presents a new approach to reconstructing 3D solid model from the two given 2D orthographic views based on AutoCAD, which is much more effective and high efficient for a special kind of compound object than the currently existing ways. The approach emphasizes integrated operating of AutoCAD software and basic knowledge of engineering drawing with no needs for complicated computation and 3D rich imagination and reconstruction. Using this approach, the 3D solid model can be reconstructed effectively and efficiently from the two given 2D orthographic views by several steps of simple operation on computer on the basis of judgment. The research work provides a theoretical possibility for the automatic reconstruction of 3D Solid model of such compound objects, and a simple and practical 3D solid model-reconstructing method for engineers and learners of engineering drawing.

The paper deals with the reconfiguration analysis of the single-loop variable degree-of-freedom (DOF) RRRRS mechanism composed of five links connected by four revolute (R) joints and one spherical (S) joint. The mechanism may show two modes of motion: one-DOF and two-DOF motion. In the paper, a classical vector procedure is used to obtain the quartic motion equation (QME) that allows one to inspect the nature of the motion. In general, the solutions of the QME provide the one-DOF motion of the mechanism except when all the coefficients of the equation vanish. In this case, the mechanism undergoes the two-DOF motion. The motion of the mechanism built according to two specific architectures was analyzed by the numerical solutions of the QME and with the help of the solid model of the mechanism. It is revealed for the first time that the perpendicular architecture has one 2-DOF motion and two 1-DOF motion modes.

Designing family of products require analysis and evaluation of performance for the entire product family. In the past, products were mainly mass-produced hence the use of CAD/CAE was restricted to developing and analyzing individual products. Since the products offered using a platform approach include a variety of products built upon a common platform, CAD/CAE tools need to be explored further to assist in customization of products according to the customer needs. In this paper we investigate the development of a Product Family FEA (PFFEA) module that can support FEA analysis of user customized product families members. Customer specifications for family members are gathered using the internet, users are allowed to scale and change configurations of products. These specifications are then used to automatically generate 3D solid models of the product and then perform FEA to determine feasibility of the customer specified product. In this paper, development of the PFFEA module is illustrated using a family of lawn trimmer and edger. The PFFEA module uses Pro/E to generate the solid model and ANSYS as the base FEA software.
