High Trajectory Tracking of Multi-Axis Robot by Iterative


Learning Control
Abstract: Fast-response and high-precision motion control is one of indispensable techniques in a wide variety of
high performance mechatronic systems including micro and/or nano-scale motion, such as data storage devices,
machine tools, manufacturing tools for electronics components, and industrial robots, from the standpoints of high
productivity, high quality of products, and total cost reduction. In those applications, the required specifications in
the motion performance, e.g. response/settling time, trajectory/settling accuracy, etc., should be sufficiently
achieved. In addition, the robustness against disturbances and/or uncertainties, the mechanical vibration
suppression, and the adaptation capability against variations in mechanisms should be essential properties to be
provided in the performance.
The keynote speech presents an improvement approach of trajectory tracking performance of multi-axis robot
manipulator, where an iterative learning control framework is especially applied as one of practical and/or promising

Toward the development of a solar-powered device capable of


both cooling and electricity generation
Abstract: Despite the efforts of the governments on providing energy access (for cooling and electricity) to their
people by 2030, there will still be 1.4 billion inhabitants in the world without access to these basic services. This
presentation discusses the use of thermo-acoustic technology in order to provide a practical solution to the problem
of heat management where heat could be pumped (Thermo-Acoustic Engine or TAE), spot cooling could be induced
(Thermo-Acoustic Refrigerators or TAR) and electricity could be generated. The purpose of the project is to develop
an affordable, versatile domestic solar powered thermoacoustic device capable of providing cooling and generating
electricity in rural areas of developing countries. The sub-objectives of this project are threefold: .
•Firstly, to develop an early demonstrator of a high-power electricity generator and maximum thermal-to-electricity
efficiency; •Secondly, to develop a demonstrator of a heat-driven thermo-acoustic cooler capable of achieving
maximum cooling performance; •Thirdly, to develop an efficient configuration of solar-powered systems capable of

09:00-09:15 Sustainable Design and Comparative Study of Water Distribution Network using Mixed Techniques and Simulation in a High-Rise Building
AksJoseph Samuel Akpan, Durban University of Technology, South Africa
MT005
Abstract—This study focuses on the design and analysis of a water distribution system for a 14th story residential high-rise project. CAD was used to build a 2D and 3D water
pipe network, which were sized using Hazen Williams' chart and probability equation. Fluid flow velocities, flow rates, and pressures at various nodes in the building were
calculated theoretically using the pipe sizes, and further modeled and simulated using the PIPESIM program to obtain flow velocities, flow rates, and pressures. The simulated
pressures were slightly higher than the calculated pressure levels as the building's elevation was increased. Similarly, the simulated and computed pressures and velocities
were proportional to the heights. From the fourth story to the lowest floor, high flow speeds were detected, which were much greater than the recommended flow velocity of
1.5ms-1. On some of the floors, pressure-reducing valves were introduced to reduce flow velocity to 1.5 ms-1 or less while maintaining a safe operating pressure of 3.5 bar,
effectively prolonging the pipe's service life to 100 years. Furthermore, using ABAQUS FE software to model pipe networks leading to sanitary appliances, a parametric
analysis of Fluid-Structure Interaction, FSI Analysis in the water piping system were done to measure turbulence and pressures caused under no-slip velocity conditions.
Based on the findings, it was proposed that robust software be used to model and simulate water piping designs, in addition to the experimentally acquired values with some
validations, because it provides an accurate and safe design for the water distribution network.

09:15-09:30 Based on the Practice Teaching Research of Digital Twins


Xudong Pan, Harbin Institute of Technology, School of Mechatronics Engineering, China
MT105
Abstract—Harbin University of Technology Engineering Innovation Practice Center, in engineering training teaching, uses the teaching methods of virtual and reality, and
inducts the digital twin software of RioD into the engineering practice teaching work. The digital twin software of RioD is used to build the intelligent manufacturing
production line work scene, and completes the following four tasks: first the product leaves from the intelligent warehouse, then AGV transports the product to the transit
platform, second, the robot grabs the product and completes the task of clamping and removing, and finally the work scene resets. Through virtual technology, the real
production line is built in virtual space, which effectively solves the difficult problem that the practical teaching task can't be carried out, and significantly improves the quality
of practical teaching, and stimulates student interest.

09:30-09:45 Deep Learning for Smart Plant Weed Applications Employing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Uchechi Ukaegbu, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT020
Abstract—The investigation carried out in this paper elucidates the work to develop and test a smartweed detector and herbicide sprayer that utilizes a weed detection module
for weed eradication. Through the years, weeds have remained a tremendous constant threat to the overall production of desired crops or farming productivity. Hence, an agile
timely and accurate management of weeds could tremendously extenuate economic losses globally, denigrate an overuse of herbicides that sabotage the environment and
revolutionize the agricultural sector. This paper further proposes an approach for emerging technology or recent advancement of deep learning by building a model through
constructing and training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that features real-time object detection on Raspberry Pi. Further details on this principle of operation are
provided in this paper. A Convolutional Neural Network utilizing transfer learning was trained on the TensorFlow framework and yielded training and validation accuracies of
89.6% and 90.6% respectively. It was pretrained using the weights from the Inception V3 architecture to detect multiple classes of weeds and crops. The sprayer module is
further integrated to control sprayer operation, and it features an efficient chemical application.

09:45-10:00 The Establishment of a Technology Transfer Office: Lessons from a University based in a Rural Setting
Manthiba E. Letsoalo, University of Limpopo, South Africa
MT0003
Abstract— In South Africa, the higher education institutions, particularly public ones, remain the largest knowledge producers and employers of knowledge workers. In this
regard, it is proper to establish processes that could assist HEIs to exploit their discovered knowledge. One way of exploiting the discovered knowledge is through the
technology transfer and commercialisation processes. The aim of this paper is to share the experiences and provide a framework for establishing a Technology Transfer Office
or Office of Technology Transfer in a university-based at the rural setting. The paper uses a case study methodology. It applies the competitive intelligence process to briefly
discuss how the outputs of one rural university in South Africa led to the establishment of Technology Transfer Office and then from lessons-learned proposes a framework for
establishing an Technology Transfer Office.

10:00-10:15 From a hive to a place the fabricated buildings with the smart house
Shujie Yuan, Tianjin University, China
MT042
Abstract—Inspired by hive, the proposal adopted a design of hexagonal fabricated buildings, which inherited the characteristics of ancient Chinese wooden buildings and
imitated an ancient design for rainwater collection and drainage. This proposal features the possibility of various patterns of buildings combined each other, thus owning
more area for daylighting and ventilation as compared with traditional buildings, and furthermore, the characteristics of surrounding environment may be fully combined. At
the same time, the disassembled building blocks may be reused. The corresponding intelligent housing system was also proposed to complete the development of relevant
software and hardware. The corresponding construction scheme was put forward in combination with the characteristics of detachable and reusable prefabricated buildings.

10:15-10:30 Application of three-dimensional construction technology in development of space remote sensor


Haiyang Sun, Beijing Institute of Space Mechanics&Electricity, China
MT108-A
Abstract—Advanced digital technology has effectively promoted the progress of product design, processing and assembly technology, and laid a solid foundation for the
manufacturing industry. Among them, three-coordinate detection technology, as the most widely used three-dimensional digital detection technology, plays a pivotal role in
aerospace, medical equipment, automobile manufacturing and other fields. The mechanism design of the aerospace remote sensor has the characteristics of high precision,
high weight and high integration. This paper introduces the specific application of three-coordinate virtual construction technology in the development of aerospace remote
sensor products and the important role it plays. This paper focuses on the application of three-coordinate virtual construction technology in the evaluation of part positions on
spatial profiles with high precision requirements, mirror spacing monitoring of optical lenses, focal-surface splicing mirror mounting and positioning, and attitude monitoring
of precision transmission components. The three-coordinate virtual construction technology constructs the ideal points, lines and surfaces in the measured structure by using
the translation, rotation and division of the coordinate axis system and the main projection surface. The theoretical position is compared with the actual position, and the
deviation value is calculated, so as to guide the actual processing and assembly of the remote sensor part.
By using the three-coordinate virtual construction technology, the theoretical substitution of the optical axis of the optical lens can be realized, and the relationship between
the structure and the position of the lens is positioned more accurately in the early stage, which reduces the number of iterations for the later optical installation; It can also
simulate the travel direction of the optical path, and obtain the distance relationship between the optical mirrors such as the primary mirror, the secondary mirror, the three
mirrors, and the folding mirror, as well as the interface position of the corresponding support structure; It can also be used to obtain the transmission gait and effect of
precision transmission components to verify the reliability of the transmission.

Mulumba Banza Gracia, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa
MT0012
Abstract—The Sixth Generation (6G) is currently under development and it is a planned successor of the Fifth Generation (5G). It is a new wireless communication technology
expected to have a greater coverage area, significant fast and a higher data rate. The aim of this paper is to examine the literature on challenges and possible solutions of
6G’s security, privacy and trust. It uses the systematic literature review technique by searching five research databases for search engines which are precise keywords like
"6G," "6G Wireless communication," and "sixth generation". The latter produced a total of 1856 papers, then the security, privacy and trust issues of the 6G wireless
communication were extracted. Two security issues, the artificial intelligence and visible light communication, were apparent. In conclusion, there is a need for new
paradigms that will provide a clear 6G security solutions.

10:45-11:00 Smart Self-managing recycling bins


Pius Adewale Owolawi, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa
MT0011
Abstract—To date, there is only one planet that could be viewed as 99% fit for human settlement. It is our collective responsibility to protect it. The world generates 2.01
billion tons of waste. Of which, Sub-Saharan Africa contributes 180 million tons at the rate of 0.5% per capita per day, and the amount that is openly dumped is 70%.
Approximately 57 million tons of general waste per year are generally contributed by South Africans. South Africa recycle 10% of the generated waste. More and more
strategies and techniques are needed to deal with generated waste in order to protect the planet. People are inherently drawn to comfort, and the average individual will
seldom put in the extra effort if not forced by circumstances or encouraged by the pull of a reward. The paper proposes a Smart Self-managing Recycling Bins system that is
coupled with a rewards program that aims to improve recycling awareness at the lowest possible level, i.e. the consumer. A Raspberry Pi was used as the controller of the
system, interfacing with strain gauges to measure recycled weight and a camera to read the user QR-code generated by the web application, used for identification of users
and managing the rewards assigned. The web application is written in C# and dotNetCore framework. The system weight measurements with the strain gauges were 97%
accurate at 7% tolerant. Users are rewarded for recycling by receiving discounts at certain stores. A questionnaire was sent to individuals to obtain information regarding
recycling habits. The results showed that a majority of respondents could be encouraged to recycle through a reward system. The system could assist in waste management.

09:00-09:15 Game theoretical approach for customer driven job scheduling considering carbon emissions in service-oriented manufacturing
Min Jiang, AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Industrial (Group) CO.LTD, Chengdu, China
MT103
Abstract—This paper presents a novel scheduling solution for optimizing the carbon emissions and makespan of each job from different customers in service-oriented
manufacturing environments. The paper first presents a new job scheduling problem considering carbon emissions by distinguishing the concepts and requirements of job
scheduling in the service-oriented manufacturing environment from those in the traditional manufacturing environment. Secondly, a game-theory mathematical model is
constructed to deal with this new job scheduling problem. In this model, the scheduling problem is formulated as an N-person non-cooperative game with complete
information, where the players refer to the jobs submitted by different customers, a set of strategies of each player refer to machines in a service-oriented manufacturing
workshop, and the payoffs refer to the makespan and carbon emissions of each job. Therefore, obtaining the optimal scheduling results is determined by the Nash Equilibrium
(NE) point of this game. To find the NE point, a genetic algorithm combining local search is developed to effectively solve the above model. Finally, simulation case is
designed and the results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

09:15-09:30 Development of a Water Purification Device


Singatha Gcinamina Xaba, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT010
Abstract—The world is faced with a decrease in freshwater supply and current water infrastructure is under strain to supply drinkable water. Some of the most recent designs
for portable purification devices are not able to purify all the different classes of impurities. This paper presents the development of a water purification device. To achieve
this, the proposed solution will purify water from a wider range of impurities including pathogens, heavy metal and volatile organic compounds. The proposed design is
portable, modular, ecology-friendly and a lowcost power-consuming design. Stainless steel is the selected material for the design due to its high food grade approval.
Purification is based on boiling and heat exchanger systems. It incorporates an inlet filter, activated carbon filter and outlet biosand filter to purify contaminated water. The
research found the design to be theoretically able to remove the 4 types of impurities it was designed to. Computational Fluid Dynamics was used to conduct investigations
on the effectiveness of the heat exchanger and was found to be effective.

09:30-09:45 Precise Injection Molding Combined with Ultrasonic Bonding for Chip Fabrication of Centrifugal Microfluidic Immunoassay System
Yuxing Shi, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China
MT056
Abstract—Microfluidic chip is the core module of centrifugal microfluidic immunoassay system. Its precision and bonding strength affect the performance of the system to a
great extent. However, on the one hand, traditional ways of improving the precision of chip’s microstructure needs auxiliary equipment (such as infrared and ultrasonic), on
the other hand, traditional bonding technologies have problems of complex operation, low bonding strength and poor stability, which are not conducive to the mass
production of microfluidic chips with high precision and high bonding strength. In view of this, this paper proposed an improved precise injection molding technology
combined with ultrasonic bonding technology. Firstly, the solvent assisted precise injection molding technology was proposed to obtain chips with microstructures of high
precision and without mold sticking (the transmission accuracy is 98%). Then, precise injection molding was combined with ultrasonic bonding technology to realize
complete fabrication of chips, the variation in depth of microchannels as low as 0.3% and the burst pressure as high as 632 kPa were obtained. Finally, no obvious liquid
leakage was observed through the liquid flow test. The experimental results above show that the improved precise injection molding combined with ultrasonic bonding
technology can easily and quickly realize high bonding strength on the basis of maintaining the detailed characteristics of microchannels. This technology not only provides a
reliable method for the fabrication of high-precision PMMA chips, but also meets the goal of rapid and sensitive centrifugal microfluidic immunoassay, which is a novel
fabrication technology for microfluidic chip.
09:45-10:00 A study of a loudspeaker-driven and a thermo-acoustically-driven travelling-wave thermo-acoustic refrigerator

Abstract— This paper describes the experimental investigation conducted on a Loudspeaker-Driven Thermo-Acoustic Refrigerator (LDTWTAR), a Standing Wave Thermo-
Acoustic Engine (SWTAE) and a Thermo-Acoustically Driven Travelling Wave Thermo-Acoustic Refrigerator (TADTWTAR). This work aims at getting an insight into the
coupling of a standing wave thermo-acoustic engine and a travelling wave thermo-acoustic refrigerator and to investigate its potential for cooling. Experiments were
conducted in three stages. First, an analysis of LDTWTAR to analyze the effect of the geometric configuration on the temperature difference across the regenerator and to get
an insight into the effect of the parameters of the system on its performance. Secondly, analysis of a SWTAE to investigate the relationship between the frequency of the
engine and the length of the resonator. Lastly, both the SWTAE and the TWTAR were coupled together to form a TADTWTAR system. An experiment on the coupled system
was conducted to get an insight into the coupling of a SWTAE and a TWTAR and analyse how the parameters of the SWTAE affect the cooling performance. The investigation
of the SWTAE has shown that longer resonator lengths and lower power inputs yield lower frequencies, longer onset time and higher onset temperature of the engine...

10:00-10:15 Investigation of Low-cost Ride-on Electric Wheelbarrow
Ingrid Retha Botha, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
MT036
Abstract—As the global need for clean, sustainable energy continues to rise, the transportation sector is developing a niche for sustainable solutions. An escalating interest in
commercially available electric load-transportation vehicles targets not only a diminished carbon footprint but also seeks to empower developing communities. This paper
details the research, design, and manufacture of a low-cost ride-on electric wheelbarrow capable of transporting a full hopper load and operator across the rugged terrain
encountered within the South African landscape. The design was required to be low-cost but durable, constructed using quality materials, reliable, and operator friendly. Key
features of the design included the use of a standard off-the-shelf wheelbarrow at the center of the modular design. While not only reducing costs and improving the
marketability of the final product this also enhanced the usability of the product since the hopper operated as a traditional wheelbarrow. The final vehicle resembled a trike
and was constructed from a rectangular tube steel and aluminum chassis, which was driven by two pneumatic wheels, and powered by a 2kW brushless direct current motor
(BLDC). The final vehicle seated a single occupant, who navigated the design using the original wheelbarrow handles which pivot through the chassis. The handles further
possessed an ergonomic design with respect to the vehicle throttle control for the driver who was seated on a chair above the drivetrain of the vehicle. The gross mass which
the vehicle was capable of transporting was 350kg. Specifications for driver positioning, capabilities, and range of motion was implemented by the authors to ensure an
ergonomic design. The final design featured a wheelbase of 1.33m, a total length of 1.74m, and a maximum width of 1.05m. The vehicle was designed for male and female
operators up to a total mass of 90kg, and travelled at a rated speed of 10km/h. The braking system for the design was governed by ANSIZ130.1 and ANSIZ135 specifications
and produced a braking distance of 4.84m from rated speed to stationary, when fully loaded.

10:15-10:30 A Review of Industrial Symbiosis in Influencing Green Manufacturing


Petronella Nyakudya, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT041
AbstractThis paper reviews the Industrial Ecology concept of Industrial Symbiosis as a key strategy in Green Manufacturing. Industrial symbiosis is described as a resource
efficiency approach where unused or residual resources (material, energy, water, waste, assets, logistics, expertise etc.) of one company are used by another. This results in
mutual economic, social, and environmental benefits and how it can be applied for sustainable waste management in manufacturing industries. The resource synergy
amongst the organisation has the potential to increase the operational stability especially in areas where resources are scarce and constrained. It also evaluates how it has
emerged as a global phenomenon in the assessment of environmental performance of an industrial system practicing green manufacturing in the drive towards a circular
economy. In addition, the barriers faced in the implementation of Industrial Symbiosis is reviewed.

10:30-10:45 A Full Lifecycle Diagnosis Policy Design Based on Claim Data for New Products with Free Replacement Warranty
Guozhen Xiong, Tsinghua University, China
MT0005
Abstract—Warranty has been widely used as a means of sales promotion. However, the warranty services could also result in considerable cost and hurt a company’s
profitability. It is not uncommon that some failures within warranty period are caused by consumers’ violation of instructions, which should not be covered by the warranty
service. Therefore, in order to minimize the total cost, this research studies the integration of maintenance strategies with appropriate diagnosis strategies to identify failures
that are out of warranty. Heterogeneous usage rate is also considered. The present study proposes the dynamic partial diagnosis strategy for the free replacement warranty
contract. Finally, the design of claim data management and the full lifecycle warranty service policy for new products are presented.

Abstract—Explainable based deep learning for Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation is a crucial task within the manufacturing industry. Previous approaches were mainly
used the Long term Short Memory (LSTM) to analyze the RUL .In addition, rapid development of sensor technology made it possible to use a data-driven approach for RUL
estimation. In this study, we implemented two deep learning models based on LSTM that contains Convolutional neural network characteristic, Fully Connected LSTM and
Convolutional LSTM, for RUL estimation on an aero turbofan engine. In our experiment, we used NASA Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation(C-MAPSS) to
validate our results and used the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) method to interpret the result of the deep learning model. In addition, throughout the experiment, we
compared the performance with two deep learning models Multilayer Perceptron(MLP) and LSTM, which are from the previous studies. Our method explains what are the
major factor that are affecting the RUL prediction

13:00-13:15 Research on auto-picking system of standard parts for Aircraft Parts Assembly station
Guangku Xue, AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Industrial(Group) CO.LTD, China
MT102
Abstract—In the process of assembling aircraft parts, each assembly station uses tens of thousands of fasteners to assemble various parts into large aircraft parts. In order to
ensure the assembly quality of products, the type and quantity of fasteners used must be accurate, while the traditional manual selection process of fasteners is prone to
errors in type, quantity and information, and the selection efficiency is low, it can not meet the technical requirement of aircraft parts assembly for accurate and efficient
selection and distribution of required fasteners. Combined with the development direction of the current selection technology for aircraft component assembly fasteners, this
paper has solved the technical problems of precise and efficient selection of types, quantities, real-time matching and long-term effectiveness in the process of automatic
selection of fasteners, an auto-selecting device based on aircraft parts assembly station is developed, which can automatically, timely, accurately and efficiently distribute the
required fasteners for each aircraft parts assembly station.

Ahmet Öner ESER, Gazi University, Turkey
MT044
Abstract—In this study, an adaptive notch filter design is proposed to prevent flexible mode oscillations caused by the wings’ structure in air-to-surface missiles. The
proposed filter detects oscillations and prevents vibrations by simply changing the filter coefficients. The algorithm first identifies any existing oscillations and then
calculates the corresponding oscillation frequency by satisfying the stability conditions of the filter such that poles of the notch filter are located within the unit circle in the z-
plane. With the designed algorithm, the notch filter can be easily integrated into real-time applications because of the low resource consumption and simple structure of filter.

Shuaihu Wang, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China
MT035
Abstract— Aiming at the problems existing in the process of complex product customization design, such as fuzzy requirement expression and lack of effective traceability
mechanism between requirement-function-structure-configuration parameters, a Model-based System Engineering (MBSE) technology for complex product customization
design is proposed. Firstly, system modeling language (SysML) requirement diagram is used to express the requirement. Secondly, organic integration of multiple SysML
diagrams to build configuration process model to support the design process. Then build a multi-level requirement model to establish a requirement traceability mechanism.
Finally, the product instance is generated. This paper takes the high-speed train bogie as the design object, and proves that the technology can effectively ensure the explicit
expression of the customization requirements of complex products, and can establish a perfect requirement traceability mechanism to provide a strong guarantee for the
conceptual design and detailed design of complex products.
13:45-14:00 The Design and Evaluation of Exhaust Gas Cleaning System Equipped with SOx Scrubber
Ezra Johan Giroth, Mapua University Manila, Philippines
MT109
Abstract— Exhaust gas emissions from marine diesel engines are expected to rise dramatically in future decades where hazardous compounds containing NO2, SO2, CO2,
and complex particulate matter will affect the human respiratory system and the ecosystem of the environment. The United Nations have addressed through International
Maritime Organization (IMO) for emission control areas (ECA) under Marpol Annex VI to impose mandatory limits of SOx and NOx emissions in designated areas of ECA and
Non-ECA. The legislation mandated for ECA areas of 0.10 (99%) and 0.50 (95%) cleaned air by either utilizing high-cost compliant fuel or the alternative approach using SOx
Scrubbers. The study aims to design an efficient SOx scrubber and system improvisation utilizing actual boiler engine inputs based on a successfully trialed scrubber from
Serwah Ibrahim’s study from Chalmers University, Sweden. As scrubber technology emerges, high-cost fabrication and poor material selection opted to be the problem. With
the Researcher’s experience and thorough investigation, the research was able to calculate the lower cost and efficient material thickness together with calculations of each
component using the ASME VIII division 1 guidebook. The study calculated nozzle positioning on dish head, miter bend calculation, and reinforcement pad calculation. The
research proved for potential power harnessing through the utilization of fluid emission of power calculation about 45 KW can be harnessed of 30 m/s as fluid velocity
retrieved from ANSYS with 210,000 kg/hr of exhaust gas. Moreover, 900 cubic meters per hour at 60 meters supplied head for seawater distributions have proved that SOx
gases were able to be removed completely during the chemical reaction between packing bed and demisters using ANSYS software. Packing bed software was also used with
79% for each capacity filtration of SOx components with seawater. Overall, the study has shown 4.4 times more economical compared with commercial scrubbers and 40%
higher overall efficiency from the perspective of material cost and system efficiency on further energy utilization for power generation.

14:00-14:15 Study on femtosecond laser stealth cutting technology of quartz
Kui-Kui He, Wuhan University of Technology, China
MT006
Abstract—In order to obtain high quality quartz section, a femtosecond laser system with wavelength of 1030nm, repetition frequency of 200KHz and pulse width of 290fs
was used to study the stealth-cutting technology of fixed-focus scanning and variable-focus scanning for quartz wafer. The effects of single pulse energy, scanning times,
defocusing amount and each downshifting distance of focus on the section of quartz wafer were investigated. Experimental results show that crack surface roughness can
reach 46.35nm when the repetition rate is 20KHz, scanning speed is 2mm/s, single pulse energy is 50μJ and defocusing quantity is 0. In the variable focus scanning, the
proportion of ablation zone gradually smaller with the increase of the downward shift of the focus. When the repetition frequency is 200KHz, the scanning speed is 4mm/s,
the single pulse energy is 50μJ, and the focus is moved down by 5μm each time, the surface roughness of the fracture surface can reach 39.653 nm.

14:15-14:30 An investigation of the effect of current on Mechanical properties of mild steel joint by arc welding
Mothibeli Pita, University of South Africa, South Africa
MT015
Abstract— Welding is a fabrication process in which two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure, or both, forming a join as the parts cool. This paper
aims to investigate the effects of current on the mechanical properties and microstructure of mild steel joints when using arc welding. The arc welding experiment was
carried out using different currents (100 A, 150 A and 200 A). The hardness and impact tests were conducted according to ASTM E384 and ASTM E23-12C standards. The
results show that a high welding current generates a high surface temperature during the arc welding process. The increase in surface temperature negatively affects the
mechanical properties of the welding zone. The highest hardness and toughness were obtained at a low welding current and reported to be 269 HV and 205.71 J,
respectively.

14:30-14:45 Investigation of Mechanical properties of Aluminum AA4007 joint by MIG and FSW process
Sibusiso Sibusiso Nginda, University of South Africa, South Africa
MT002
Abstract—Welding is more economical, more convenient, and less susceptible to failure or corrosion in comparison with other joining processes. The aim of this paper is to
investigate the two welding processes that produce welds with high mechanical properties. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) experiments were
conducted on aluminium AA4007 alloy. ASTM E384, E8/E8M-09 standards were followed when conducting microhardness and tensile testing at the weld zone. The results
show that FSW has higher mechanical properties (7.1% harder and 12.3% stronger) as compared to MIG. The hardness and tensile strength of FSW samples were reported to
be 76 HV and 130.78 MPa respectively. MIG has a hardness of 70.6 HV and a tensile strength of 114.7 MPa, according to tests.

14:45-15:00 Analysis of flaws in fuel flow pipelines using Conventional Non-Destructive Testing Methods
Lagouge Kwanda Tartibu, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT011
Abstract— This study analyses the detectability of various flaws in fuel flow pipelines by using conventional NDT methods. Non-Destructive Test (NDT) is used to detect
defects in weldment as it does not affect, destroy, or disturb the main features of the product or material. Radiography test, Manual Ultrasonic Test and Magnetic Particle
Test were conducted on the 2-, 6- and 10-inches pipes and the flaw lengths were recorded. The data were analysed statistically with Rstudios to ascertain the most suitable
methods. The results showed that there was not much statistical difference between the Radiographic Test and Manual Ultrasonic Test in terms of flaws detection in 2-, 6-
and 10-inches pipelines as they all recorded mean values of 19.75mm and 19.25mm defect length when compared with the purposely Inserted defect at 20mm. Additionally,
the study revealed that both Radiography Test and Manual Ultrasonic Test could be used interchangeably. Magnetic Particle test was found to be more suitable at detecting
flaws on the surface of the weld but less likely to detect flaws deeper in the weld.

15:00-15:15 Life cycle assessment (LCA) results of MIG and TIG welding technologies using the IMPACT 2002+ methodology
Surja Sarkar, Technovative Solutions Limited, TWI Limited, UK
MT018
Abstract—The aim of this LCA studies is to investigate the potential environmental impacts of arc welding technologies such as Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas
(TIG) processes that follows the framework, principles, requirements, and guidelines given by the International Organisation for Standards (ISO). For a 1 m of welding
activities, LCA studies have been carried out in accordance with cradle to gate system boundary employing the SimaPro LCA application tool and the ecoinvent version 3.6
database and applying the comprehensive life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methodology IMPACT 2002+, version 2.14 that translates the input and output inventory data
into the environmental impacts. From the evaluation of LCIA results, it has been demonstrated that the TIG welding process showed higher environmental impacts than the
MIG welding process, in midpoint impact categories such as global warming potential, aquatic acidification, ozone layer depletion, and aquatic eutrophication. This mainly
occurred due to the slower welding speed of the TIG welding process which results in higher shielding gas and electrical energy consumption. Endpoint damage categories
such as human health, climate change, ecosystem quality, and resources have also been investigated for both welding processes. Finally, it is demonstrated from LCIA
results that the overall environmental footprint of TIG welding process is about 1.3 times higher than that of MIG welding process.

Abstract—In order to study the impact response of a police riot helmet made of polycarbonate and low density polyethylene, a numerical model was established by using
ABAQUS under low energy impact of 5kg impact components. Based on the numerical model, the impact dynamic responses of helmets with different impact energies,
different shapes of hammer heads and different impact angles were analyzed. The low energy impact test was carried out on the riot helmet by using the drop hammer impact
testing machine. The rules of the impact parameters, such as impact force, hammer head speed, hammer head displacement, hammer head impact energy and helmet
absorption energy, varying with time were analyzed during the impact process when the helmet was subjected to 5kg hammer head impact. Based on the experimental results,
the accuracy of the numerical model is verified, and the results can provide a reference for the research on the impact resistance of police riot helmets.

Tianyu Sun, Jiangsu University, China
MT201
Abstract—Fluent is a professional CFD software, which is used to simulate and analyze fluid flow and heat exchange problems in complex geometric areas. It can accurately
describe the internal flow field situation of the centrifugal pump model. The velocity and pressure distribution of the fluid in the centrifugal pump are obtained through the
numerical simulation of the internal flow field in the centrifugal pump under the set rated and variable working conditions. Since one of the parameters that this experiment is
working on, the rotating speed of the centrifugal pump was limited to a few certain values for the purposes of determining the head, power and pump efficiency when varying
other parameters such as mass flow rate. Efficiency of centrifugal pump is calculated by the power output divided by power input. Power output can be calculated based on
the density, gravitational acceleration, mass flow rate and pump head. Power input is calculated by moment and rotational speed. Mass flow rate is also an important
parameter when determine the efficiency of the centrifugal pump. Based on the analysis and calculations above, several conclusions have been drawn regarding the mass
flow rate, rotational speed, power and efficiency.

WU Hui, Hunan Institute of Traffic Engineering, China
MT001
Abstract— When jet pumps are commonly used for river pumping and irrigation, the erosion of sediment in the river can easily lead to deformation and damage of the pump
body, lower working efficiency, or even failure. In order to study the wear of different particle sizes on the jet pump, a three-dimensional model of the internal flow field of the
jet pump was first established. Based on the discrete phase model (DPM), three types of eight types, including fine sand, medium sand, and coarse sand, were simulated and
discussed. The trajectory of sand particles with particle size (0.06mm, 0.25mm, 0.35mm, 0.50mm, 0.65mm, 0.80mm, 1.4mm, 2mm) and the erosion and wear characteristics
of the body, nozzle and throat of the jet pump, the result It shows that the larger the sand particle size, the larger the range covered by the trajectory in the suction chamber;
the medium sand with a particle size of 0.8mm has the most serious erosion and abrasion on the pump body, and the coarse sand with a particle size of 1.4mm affects the
nozzle and throat pipe. The erosion wear is the most serious.

14:15-14:30 Numerical Modelling of Crack Behaviour in Pipes Considering ASME B31 G


Jessica Holloway, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT106
Abstract— Plant and feedstock stability is an important factor in ensuring consistent production volumes and minimal maintenance intervention, especially in the petro-
chemical industry. Thus, detailed design and in-line inspections of mid-stream equipment; such as underground pipelines are critical to reduce the risk of failure due to pre-
existing or newly developed defects. Elongated external metal losses, assimilated to crack-like defects in some circumstances; can significantly impact the integrity of
pipelines thus inline inspections are important to identify and implement remediation activities. ASME B31G provides guidelines to determine the estimated failure pressure in
pipelines that have defects present. In this paper, a comparison between the estimated failure pressure based on the original ASME B31G equations and the modified ASME
B31G equations were compared to a finite element model based.

14:30-14:45 Switching Based MIMO Robust Autopilot Design: A Munition Example
Mustafa ALBAYRAK, Gazi University, Turkey
MT043
Abstract—This study presents the implementation of robust control methods to dynamically switched guided munition systems. Controllers to be used in the switching
structure must operate under uncertainty and have high disturbance suppression. µ-synthesis method, which is one of the commonly used robust control methods, is utilized.
µ controllers are designed for the system obtained by linearization in short regions under nonlinear dynamics varying with altitude and mach number of the guided munition
system. The controller reference signals are received from the guidance block while the controller output signal includes changes in the aileron, rudder, elevator channels for
the Control Actuation System (CAS). Switched controller design is first realized between two controllers. Then, the controller matrix that will cover all the mach number and
altitude regions in the flight is designed and the switching algorithm between the controllers in this matrix is implemented. The system model is designed in the
MATLAB/Simulink environment. With the controllers integrated into this designed model, the switching algorithm is created with the function written in MATLAB. The
simulation results show that the proposed control scheme works well despite the presence of disturbance and uncertainties, so the control system meets the requirements.

14:45-15:00 Numerical Modelling of Crack Behaviour of Buried Pipes


Jessica Holloway, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT107
Abstract—Pipelines provide a critical function to the stability of chemical plant operations and transportation of fluids. The requirement for sound design and fabrication,
inline inspections and maintenance are critical to reduce the risk of failure due to pre-existing or newly developed defects. Cracks can significantly impact the integrity of
pipelines thus advanced inspection technologies, such as inline inspections, are important to identify the severity of the defect and implement an appropriate remediation
action. Cracks act as stress concentration points from which the failure tends to initiate. Process upsets; such as pressure fluctuation, can cause a variation in the hoop
stress levels, driving force for fatigue crack growth, which can lead to failure causing loss of containment, fires, or explosions. Existing cracks should be characterized to
estimate residual life and hence safe operation based on the approach of damage tolerance. Currently, there is limited knowledge on the behaviour of cracks that develop in
buried pipes. The geometry and orientation of these defects, operating conditions, external loading, and material properties affect the intensity of the propagation and arrest
of cracks. Hence, an investigation into the behaviours of cracks with the intent to provide the basis for the development of an engineering critical assessment (ECA) is
relevant.

15:00-15:15 Thermal performance assessment of solar water heater under Florida South Africa summer climate condition
Mothibeli Pita, University of South Africa, South Africa
MT104
Abstract— The design and thermal performance of solar heater material applications were researched in this study. The first design featured an acrylic tube with a diameter
of 200 mm, a thickness of 4 mm and a length of 600 mm, and a coiled copper tube (6 mm in diameter) that had been painted black and ran within the acrylic tube. In the
second design, the acrylic tube was replaced with a sheet metal tube that had been painted black and had the same dimensions as the acrylic tube. For three days, the
experiment was run simultaneously on both designs for four hours a day. Both concepts were put to the test by heating water in a fixed position. It was found that the design
using an acrylic material warmed water to a higher temperature and faster than the design using a sheet metal tube that had been painted black. Where acrylic material was
used, water temperature increased by 19 per cent within an hour (from an initial temperature of 23.9 ˚C) and by 37 per cent within four hours. This design attained a maximum
temperature of 38.8 degrees Celsius. Within one hour, the water temperature in the black sheet metal tube increased by 13 per cent within one hour and by 28 per cent within
four hours. The maximum water temperature reached by this design was 32.9 degrees Celsius.

16:00-16:15 Effect of Spring Stiffness on Resonance of Nanoscale Sliding Friction
Yang Yang, Southeast University, China
MT012
Abstract—Friction is a main form of energy dissipation at the atomic scale. However, the mechanism of how nanofriction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy
remains to be studied. Some experts and scholars believe that the excess phonons are mainly excited at the washboard frequency, and then the thermalization of these
nonequilibrium phonons leads to the completion of energy dissipation. Through molecular dynamics simulation, we find that the interaction between sliding tip and substrate
is nonlinear in the process of friction. The nonlinear interaction can produce excess phonons at the washboard frequency and its harmonics, resulting in the resonance of the
tip. With the gradual increase of the sliding velocity of tip, several peaks appear on the friction curve. Then by adjusting the spring stiffness in the model, it is found that the
peak value also changes. This means that different resonances can be controlled and produced by changing the spring stiffness.

16:15-16:30 High Speed Infrared Measurement of the Cutting Temperature during Milling of Titanium Ti-6Al-4V
Franz Obermair, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Austria
MT045
Abstract—Due to its good corrosion, strength and temperature properties as well as its low density, the light metal titanium has many applications in aircraft construction,
especially the alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Titanium is considered to be more difficult to machine than steel; it can only be machined at relatively low cutting speeds. The reasons given for
this are the low thermal conductivity, the high chemical reactivity and the high cutting temperatures of this material. The temperatures at the cutting edge are often
determined in a continuous cut during turning, while they are more difficult to determine in an interrupted cut during milling. This article presents the measurement and
calibration of the cutting edge and chip temperature during milling of Ti-6Al-4V using a high-speed infrared camera with an integration time of 1µs for full frame. The tool-chip
contact zone is observed with a field of view of 8 x 5 mm. The measured cutting temperatures with typical roughing parameters are much lower during milling at the cutting
edge with about 450°C than those in continuous cutting or the more than 1000°C often mentioned in older literature.

16:30-16:45 Hydrogenation of Sodium Analate
Vuyo Terrence Hashe, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT024
Abstract— Metal hydride systems provide a technological path for high-energy, high-density hydrogen storage devices for a variety of transit and mobile applications. Metal
hydride systems have a wide range of applications due to their high-coupling thermal transfer, mass transfer, and chemical kinetics. The goal of this paper is to model and
simulate the quick refuelling of a 9 kg sodium alanate storage tank. The material density of the hydride bed within the canister was 0.62 g ml of NaAlH4. The canister is
pressurized and heated before each run. A simulation technique is designed and validated by what has been done to achieve and be noted in the literature as the optimum
design for the storage canister. The use of the simulation tool for various storage concepts and geometries results in the final design. In this end, we have confirmed Ansys
as an effective simulation tool to model hydrogen storage (absorption) to precisely forecast the replenishment of hydrogen and release processes for storage systems based
on hydride of metals.

16:45-17:00 Numerical Analysis of Formability Characteristics of Steel Tailor Welded Blanks Formed through Single Point Incremental Forming
Usman Attique, National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan
MT059
Abstract— Tailor Welded Blanks (TWBs) are being used extensively in industries like automotive, air, vessel, medical etc. Incremental forming has the potential to fully exploit
advantage of these blanks. Incremental forming of homogeneous and heterogeneous aluminum and steel sheets welded through friction stir welding (FSW), laser or electron
beam technology have been explored extensively by researchers both experimentally and numerically. However, research on formability of manually welded steel blanks using
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) is meager. The paper highlights numerical analysis of formability of manual TIG welded steel sheets using Finite element software, Abaqus.
Dynamic explicit method was used during numerical analysis. Variable wall angle pyramid was used as test geometry. State of stress and strain along other important
findings were recorded which can be suitably applied to assess quite accurately characteristics unique to several kinds of manually welded TWBs.

17:00-17:15 FEM Analysis of time-varying Meshing Stiffness of Wind Turbine Isolated Planetary Gear
Opeoluwa I. Owolabi, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT032
Abstract— The planetary stage of a wind turbine gearbox is very prone to gear failures due to the higher number of gears meshing in this stage. The study of the teeth mesh's
internal excitations is crucial in investigating different failure occurrences in the gears. Hence, this study investigates the effects of the highly occurring gear failures (cracks
and pits) on the meshing stiffness. A finite element method is utilized to determine the time-varying meshing stiffness (TVMS) of isolated sun-planet pair of a healthy
planetary gear model. Two fault severities of cracks and pits with similar magnitudes are induced on a sun gear tooth of the planetary model, and their meshing stiffnesses
are simulated. The simulation results of the healthy and faulty models with different faults and severities are compared. The TVMS of the less severe and more severe pit had
a maximum deviation of 7.34% and 8.12%, respectively, from the healthy model, while crack had 8.57% and 16.88%, respectively. Also, the rate of damage progression of
cracks was estimated to be ten times that of pits in the planetary gear. Therefore, tooth cracks are more dangerous to the smooth operation of wind turbines.

17:15-17:30 Investigation of Tensile Properties of Polyamide-Calcium Carbonate Nanocomposites at Various Temperatures


Ronny Thapelo Tebeta, University of South Africa, South Africa
MT038
Abstract— Polymer-based nanocomposites are extensively used composite materials in the industries such as automobile, aerospace, marine, biomedical, and others. This is
due to their remarkable properties that can be achieved through the combination of polymer matrix and nanofiller to yield distinct and improved nanocomposite properties.
Properties such as lightweight, easy to shape, high strength, and others are the most targeted in the mentioned industries, and polymer-based nanocomposite materials are
the possible materials to yield such properties. This paper presents the experimental study on the effect of Calcium Carbonate (CCaO3 nanoparticles weight fractions on
mechanical properties of PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites at various temperatures. Polyamide-Nylon 6 (PA6) was reinforced with (CCaO3) nanoparticles at various weight
fractions to produce PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites. The PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites tensile test samples were produced according to the injection molding at weight
fractions of 0 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, and 1.5 wt% of CCaO3. The tensile tests were then conducted on the produced PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites samples at the test
temperatures of 25 0C, 35 0C, and 45 0C. The obtained results showed that an increase in CCaO3 increases the elastic modulus and the tensile strength of the PA6/CCaO3
nanocomposites up to 1 wt%. The tensile test results also demonstrated that elastic modulus and tensile strength of PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites decreases at 1.5 wt% due
to the agglomeration of CCaO3 through the PA6 matrix. Moreover, the results showed that an increase in test temperature decreases the elastic modulus and tensile strength
of the PA6/CCaO3 nanocomposites.

17:30-17:45 A study on expanded polystyrene solid waste management for value-added products
Boitukisetso Tshepo Modyela, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT039
Abstract—Expanded waste polystyrene (EPS) has a wide range of applications due to its polymeric structure. This in turn raises environmental and health concerns since
their properties prolong degradation thus causing the material to accumulate in nature. Energy recovery is feasible using chemical recycling processes due to conventional
petroleum fractions and high carbon content in the material. The material is voluminous, causing waste management problems as the material occupies large volumes for a
small mass. The investigation aimed to study the pyrolysis parameters that can be used to extract value-added products from voluminous EPS waste. From dissolution,
triphenylamine which is less voluminous was derived from the waste EPS. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed for both the triphenylamine, and EPS samples,
and the materials showed results of being thermally stable. The pyrolysis parameters were found to have an onset temperature of 400℃, peak degradation temperature of
420℃, and an end set Temperature of 432℃.

Abstract—Nowadays pumps are being widely used in commercial, industrial, and power plants to move fluids; consequently, the energy consumption of pumps has become a
subject of interest. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of axial flow pumps at various pressure heads: the experiment was conducted at 10 kPa, 15 kPa
and 20 kPa. The results show an energy loss of 63% in this design. Although there was more work input, the pump produced less output and underperformed, as its efficiency
was reported to be 37.07%. The flowing fluid in the reservoir and the return line loses energy, which has a significant influence on total energy efficiency and this energy are
hydraulic loss.

16:30-16:45 Wind Turbine Main Bearing: A Mini Review of its Failure Modes and Condition Monitoring Techniques
Samuel M. GBASHI, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT023
Abstract — Condition monitoring of wind turbine components is critical to operational effectiveness and efficiencies, which becomes vital at the utility scale level. Among
other components, the main bearing has been identified as a critical component. This is due to its operating conditions and loading, which deviate from other bearings in the
wind turbine power train. The growing improvement on wind turbine production capacity has consequently improved condition monitoring approaches to its critical
components. This study presents a mini-review of wind turbine failure modes and condition monitoring strategies for its main bearing. A brief overview of vital wind turbine
components is presented, focusing on the main bearing. The study summarizes the failure modes of the main bearing and identifies potential condition monitoring methods
for the main bearing, their strengths and limitations. Finally, prospects for future research in the condition monitoring of wind turbine main bearing were highlighted.

17:00-17:15 Development and Performance Evaluation of a Coconut Dehusking Machine
Boris R. Palao, Mapua University, Philippines
MT047
Abstract—The coconut dehusking machine was developed to provide an alternative method in coconut husk removal that is safer, more productive and more efficient Over the
years, traditional method of manual dehusking has been adopted by skilled farmers using machete or foot-operated equipment. Although this method, which has an average
dehusking rate of 1000 in 8 hours, produces good quality output, in terms of safety and higher yields, a deshusking machine is more desirable.. This research presents a
coconut dehusking machine with a conveyor belt system as the main feed and a self-adjusting roller which is attached on top of the machine to lessen human interaction with
the dehusking process. The machine was fabricated using locally available materials to provide a low cost and highly efficient and effective alternative for the dehusking
process of the coconuts. Results shows that this machine was able to provide an hourly average dehusking rate of 826 coconuts with a 95.4% effectivity rate and an average
dehusking time of 4.35 seconds per piece. The machine was able to dehusk coconuts with a higher efficiency rate than that of the manual and existing, however it can still be
improved by enhancing the hopper and conveyor design and speed, also by changing the presser roller into spring loaded spiked roller for better push of the coconut
downwards and better traction and rotation of the coconut inside the dehusking chamber.
