First of all, I would like to congratulate Deputy Dean Prof Madya Dr. Salmiah Kasolang@Kasalung and her committee for being able to publish FKM directory of equipment. This directory is an invaluable source for reference amongst the other Institution of Higher Learning and even for the private industries to have an access and review the equipment that the faculty possesses.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has invested on various high-tech equipment in laboratories and workshop as a way forward to foster academic advancement and research excellence. With this investment FKM has also managed to increase the number of postgraduate (Master and Ph.D.) students. This complements our requirement for research and up-to-date syllabus that meets the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) body that accredits our undergraduate degree program.

With the equipment that we acquired and our academic staff expertise, FKM is able to produce excellent research output and on the other hand the undergraduate students have good exposure using the advanced technology equipment. In addition FKM has managed to participate in various research competitions and have been rewarded with several awards at the national and international levels. FKM would expect that the Creativity and Innovative in academic and research culture be embedded in every staff which could propel the faculty to greater heights.

Research and Industry Network

I am very happy and proud that the first directory of equipment for the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM has finally come out after such a long wait. It is about time for this directory to be published and distributed to the public especially to industries. With this directory we have produced proper documentations of all equipment available at the faculty. I believe that a lot of good things will be churned out from the distribution of this directory. With this directory of equipment, we hope to reach wider clients and thus promote and foster university-industry relation. It is an evidence of our strong commitment in providing good equipment and best services to our students and industrial communities. This directory opens opportunities for many forms of collaboration such as in joint research, training, and consultancies.

To industries, if you find any equipment of your interest, feel free to contact the faculty or the respective person in charge of the equipment. We are always open for collaboration and negotiation on training and consultancies. We believe that you can be our partner in investing into human capital and technology for nation building.

It is hoped that the directory will assist and facilitate research culture and activities among our staff especially the new members. Indeed it will be a tremendous help to the young staff who are just about to establish their very own research path. We also have visitors from abroad every year. This directory of equipment would be best given to them to compliment the faculty’s Prospectus. Hopefully, with the information, we could get the attention of international communities especially the postgraduate candidates to enroll into our postgraduate programs.

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has shown maturity and continues to engage in a range of research. It is hoped that this effort will help the faculty to achieve some self-generated income in future as urged by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE).

Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the team who has done a wonderful job in producing this directory of equipment. Since this is the first, we have certainly set a benchmark for more to come in the future.

Congratulation to all!

The TriboScope eliminates the time and frustration involved in trying to relocate the test site and distinguish the deformation from any previous irregularities in the sample.After testing,the image is available as soon as the SPM can scan a single frame, and a force versus displacement curve provides the data necessary to evaluate the plastic and elastic behavior of that region.

Scanning probe microscope (SPM) is the general term used to describe a microscope that allows the high-magnification observation of 3D topographic images,force modulation images,magnetic images,friction images,electric-current images, and the electric- potential images by scanning a sample surface with a microscopic probe.

An atomic force microscope (AFM) is a device that allows the observation of a sample’s surface topography by holding an extremely small cantilever close to the sample surface and detecting the force (atomic force) acting between the surface and the cantilever.

X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD)Rigaku Model Ultima IV

A diffractometer is a measuring instrument for analyzing the structure of a material from the scattering pattern produced when a beam of radiation or particles (as X rays or neutrons) interacts with it.

Because it is relatively easy to use electrons or neutrons having wavelengths smaller than a nanometre, electrons and neutrons may be used to study crystal structure in a manner very similar to X-ray diffraction. Electrons do not penetrate as deeply into matter as X-rays, hence electron diffraction reveals structure near the surface; neutrons do penetrate easily and have an advantage that they possess an intrinsic magnetic moment that causes them to interact differently with atoms having different alignments of their magnetic moments.

The detector end of a simple x-ray diffractometer with an area detector.A typical diffractometer consists of a source of radiation, a monochromator to choose the wavelength, slits to adjust the shape of the beam, a sample and a detector. In a more complicated apparatus also a goniometer can be used for fine adjustment of the sample and the detector positions. When an area detector is used to monitor the diffracted radiation a beamstop is usually needed to stop the intense primary beam that has not been diffracted by the sample. Otherwise the detector might be damaged. Usually the beamstop can be completely impenetrable to the x rays or it may be semitransparent. The use of semitransparent beamstop allows the possibility to determine how much the sample absorbs the radiation using the intensity observed through the beamstop.

Instron manufactures a complete range of tensile testers (also known as pull testers) for determining the ultimate tensile strength of various materials including plastics, metals, rubber, biomedical, and more. Tensile testing systems utilize varying technologies, such as electromechanical, static hydraulic for high capacity tension tests, and dynamic with the capability of performing both static and dynamic tests.

While still used, pendulum impact testing has inherent weaknesses. In notched Izod testing, samples are mounted in a vise fixture with the notch facing a pendulum. A weighted pendulum, fixed at a point directly above the sample vise, is swung up and held stationary. This height and thus the speed of the pendulum at impact is a constant for this test. When released, the pendulum swings through the path where the sample is fixed. As the sample breaks, energy is absorbed by the sample. The

height the pendulum attains after impact is measured by an indicator on a fixed scale which reads in joules (ft-lb). The impact strength is the loss of momentum in the pendulum while breaking the sample off at the notch. The Izod pendulum test configuration served as the standard in impact testing in the plastics and metals industry for many years. The problems with the Izod pendulum test involve several parameters which can drastically alter the results if not strictly controlled.

Hydrostatic & Properties of Fluid ApparatusWith this well equipped hydrostatics bench, numerous experiments on the topic of the hydrostatics of liquids and gases can be carried out. A pipe section and various pressure measuring devices are fitted to a laboratory trolley with a demonstration panel, working area and cabinet. Various measuring containers are integrated into the pipe section. The sealed water circuit and pump with supply tank permit experiments to be performed independent of a mains water connection. This feature makes the bench particularly suitable for use in seminars rooms and lecture theatres. Further experimental apparatus are included in the cabinet, e.g. a device for determining the centre of pressure of a column of water. This enables the pressure on a weir to be determined, amongst other aspects.

Dead Weight Calibrator

Dead weight calibrators are a piston-cylinder type measuring device. As primary standards, they are the most accurate instruments for the calibration of electronic or mechanical pressure measuring instruments.

They work in accordance with the basic principle that P = F/A, where the pressure (P) acts on a known area of a sealed piston (A), generating a force (F). The force of this piston is then compared with the force applied by calibrated weights. The use of high quality materials result in small uncertainties of measurement and excellent long

term stability.

Dead weight calibrator can measure pressures of up to 10,000 bar, attaining accuracies of between 0.005% and 0.1% although most applications lie within 1 - 2500 bar. The pistons are partly made of tungsten carbide ( used for its small temperature coefficient), and the cylinders must fit together with a clearance of no more than a couple of micrometers in order to create a minimum friction thus limiting the measuring error. The piston is then rotated during measurements to further minimize friction.

Flow Visualization Apparatus

It is self-contained. The main elements are a flow table, hydrogen bubble generator console and a comprehensive set of acrylic flow guides and model. A submerge water pump, which incorporates a unique fluid drive unit, circulates the water without heavy turbulence into the working section of the flow table. The acrylic models are located onto a model mounting pillar positioned in the working section. The depth of water in the flow table is controlled by a set of stop weirs. A honeycomb flow straightened promotes an even flow throughout the flow table. The flow rate is variable and is controlled by the speed pump. An acrylic light guide is mounted above the flow channel and works on the principle of internal reflection. It produces a beam of light below the surface of water and can be adjusted in a horizontal, vertical or angular direction for optimum viewing conditions at any point in the channel. The light guide also incorporates an electronic flash unit and camera mounting position.The hydrogen bubble generator console provides all the electrical services for the flow table comprising: mains supply, pump control, light source, pulse


generator. The pulses generator will produce ‘on’ and ‘off’ pulses being independently and continuously variable and displayed on digital meters. The cathode comprises a fine platinum wire, whilst the anode is incorporated in the matel weir support rod. Output terminals are providing for direct current connection to the cathode and anode. A further pair of terminals is providing for connection to the light source. The bubble density is variable with the current to the cathode being displayed on an analogue ammeter. Switches are provided for the pump speed control and the light source. The hydrogen bubble technique is based on the generation of small hydrogen bubbles at a fine wire cathode which is positioned in and normal to the fluid flow. These bubbles are swept from the wire and because of their small size, follow the flow pattern accurately. A pattern of fine bubbles is observed, made clearly visible by the specially developed system of illumination. The intensity of light is adequate for photographic recording using a fast film, or for CCTV. The provision of a pulse generator enables both quantitative analyses.

Reynolds Number and Transitional Flow

The apparatus consists of a precision-bore glass pipe (test tube) held vertically in a large shroud. The shroud is open at the front and the inside surface is light colored. This allows the students to see the flow clearly.

Water enters a constant head tank above the test tube and passes through a diffuser and stilling bed. It then passes through a specially shaped bell-mouth into the test tube. This arrangement ensures a steady, uniform flow at entry to the test tube. A thermometer measures the temperature in the constant head reservoir. A fixed overflow pipe in the reservoir connects to a suitable drain. At the bottom of the test pipe, without disturbing the flow. The quantity of water in a measured time is collected to find the flow rate. Included is a measuring cylinder. The pattern of flow in the pipe can be seen by using dye injector. The dye injector is a dye reservoir connected to a fine hydrodermic tube. The base of the apparatus has adjustable feet for leveling prior to use.

A reservoir with isolating valve allows the calibrator, bourdon gauge and pressure sensor to be easily primed.

The test stand for investigating losses in pipes is a complete, closed experimental set-up. Due to the installation of the set-up on a laboratory trolley and the closed water circuit with supply tank and pump, the test stand is flexible to use. Eight different pipe sections are provided for investigation, these are equipped with annular chambers with measuring connections for pressure measurements. The pipes can be individually selected for the investigations using ball-cocks. Double tube manometers are provided for pressure measurements along with a battery-operated electronic differential pressure gauge. The flow rate is indicated on a variable-area flow meter. An instruction manual with detailed description of the theoretical background is supplied.

29


Sub-sonic Wind tunnel

The Sub-sonic Wind Tunnel is simple and safe in operation. It is a complete self-contained facility mounted on castors for easy movement. It is equipped with a two-component balance system and air speed indicator.

Air enters the test section through a carefully designed contracfied duct followed by an aluminum honeycomb flow straightened to ensure that the flow is steady in both magnitude and direction and has a flat transverse velocity profile. A low angle diffuser at ensures flow stability in the test section. A five bladed fan is located at the outlet of the diffuser section. The fan is driven by an AC motor supplied from an inverter speed control unit, allowing smooth control of air speed.

The parallel octagonal test section is manufactured from clear acrylic and may be retracted on rails to permit unobstructed access to the models.

The two-component balance consists of a pair of balances supported on sharps edges at mutually perpendicular axes parallel to and normal to the axial centre of the tunnel. Lift and drag components of force exerted on the test models are balanced by sliding weights along the arms of the balance until a state of null deflection is reached.

Graduations in units of force allow lift and drag to be read directly. The complete assembly is linked to a simple oil filled damping pot.

Models are mounted on the balance within the working section and a protractor with cursor allows angles of incidence to be changed quickly and accurately while the tunnel is running. The accuracy of the tunnel and its instrumentation make it suitable for undergraduate and simple research work.

Friction Welding

CNC Milling Machine

Friction Welding (FW) is a class of solid-state welding processes that generates heat through mechanical friction between a moving work pieces and a stationary component, with the addition of a lateral force called “upset” to plastically displace and fuse the materials. Technically, because no melt occurs, friction welding is not actually a welding process in the traditional sense, but a forging technique. However, due to the similarities between these techniques and traditional welding, the term becomes common. Friction welding is used with metals and thermoplastics in a wide variety of aviation and automotive applications.

A milling machine is a machine tool used for the shaping of metal and other solid materials. Milling machine exist in two basic forms (horizontal and vertical), which terms refer to the orientation of the cutting tool spindle. Unlike a drill press, in which the work piece is held stationary and the drill is moved vertically to penetrate the material milling also involves movement of the work piece against the rotating cutter, the latter which is able to cut on its flanks as well as its tip. Work piece and cutter movement are precisely controlled to less than 0.001 inches (.025 millimeters), usually by means of precision ground slides and lead screws or analogous technology. Milling machines may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or digitally automated via computer numerical control (CNC).

Electrical Discharge Machine

Robotic Welding

EDM is a machining method primarily used for hard metals or those that would be impossible to machine with traditional techniques. One critical limitation, however, is that EDM only works with materials that are electrically conductive. EDM or electrical discharge machining, is especially well-suited for cutting intricate contours or delicate cavities that would be difficult to produce with a grinder, an end mill or other cutting tools. Metals that can be machined with EDM include hastalloy, hardened tool-steel, titanium, carbide, inconel and kovar.

There are two popular types of industrial welding robots. The two are articulating robots and rectilinear robots. Robotics controls the movement of a rotating wrist in space. A description of some of these welding robots is described below: rectilinear robots move in line in any of three axes (x, y, z). In addition to linear movement of the

EDM is sometimes called “spark machining” because it removes metal by producing a rapid series of repetitive electrical discharges. These electrical discharges are passed between an electrode and the piece of metal being machined. The small amount of material that is removed from the workpiece is flushed away with a continuously flowing fluid. The repetitive discharges create a set of successively deeper craters in the work piece until the final shape is produced

robot along axes there is a wrist attached to the robot to allow rotational movement. This creates a robotic working zone that is box shaped.articulating robots employ arms and rotating joints. These robots move like a human arm with a rotating wrist at the end. This creates an irregularly shaped robotic working zone.

FTTCFlight Technology and Test Centre (FTTC) focuses on the research design, development, simulation and experimentation of aerospace vehicles. This includes research into lightweight materials and structure, gas dynamics and aerospace propulsion. Much research has focused on the development of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) or target drones (in both conventional and blended wing body configuration). We have designed, built and flown Southeast Asia’s first fuel cell powered UAV. Work continues on this important “green energy” prototype. Another important area research is on structural integrity and repair of operational aircraft.Facilities and Equipments:• LowSpeedWindTunnelof 50x50cmtestsection,beingupgradetosixcomponentbalance• AprogrammableFlightSimulator• IntegratedMiniGasTurbinePropulsionSystem• BasicServotrainerandMIMOSystem• Kenyalang-IfuelcellpoweredUAV• Fuelcellsystemtestingandmonitoringequipment• HydrogenstoragetanksandcontrolregulatorsCONTACT ADDRESS
