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.
09:30-09:45 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.

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.
09:30-09:45 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
Lagouge Kwanda Tartibu, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
MT009
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...

Heechan Lim, Korea University, South Korea
MT0013-A
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.
13:15-13:30 Adaptive Notch Filter Design for Flexible Modes of Guided Munitions
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.

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.

14:45-15:00 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.

13:00-13:15 Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Low Energy Impact on Police Riot Helmet
Li Shuo, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China
MT033
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.
13:15-13:30 Investigations of rotational speed and flow rate on centrifugal pump performance using CFD
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.

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.

16:45-17:00 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.

Lebogang Lebea, Mothibeli Pita, University of South Africa , South Africa
MT004
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.
