Akmal Zaki Ihsani

Halo, saya Akmal Zaki dengan NPM 2206029903. Saya dari program studi Teknik Mesin angkatan 2022

Week 1

---

On the first week Zaki trains chatgpt about the updated version of DAI5 Applying the DAI5 Framework in Engineering: Zaki asks clarification on the DAI5 framework, a structured methodology for analyzing engineering problems. The steps—Intention, Initial Thinking, Idealization, and Instruction—were explored in depth, with specific examples illustrating how the framework can be applied to hydraulics and pneumatics. This framework was then tailored to scenarios such as designing a lifting mechanism or solving system dynamics, making it adaptable to real-world challenges.

After training the chatgpt with DAI5 methodology, Zaki brainstorms about hydraulics and pneumatics project ideas and chatgpt came up with this answer Hydraulic Systems: Lifting platforms, presses, braking systems, and steering mechanisms. Pneumatic Systems: Robotic arms, conveyor systems, clamping devices, and air-powered tools. The suggestions were structured to balance complexity and feasibility, aligning with the user’s academic goals and practical skills.

After brainstorming Zaki concluded the project he is going to do is a hydraulic car jack.

Week 2

On the second week Zaki discussed further and more detailed about the hydraulic car jack. The hydraulic car jack is aimed to be designed for a formula student car that Zaki is working on UI Racing Team. The final design is going to be manufactured and used in competition on 2025.

Here are steps given by chatgpt

Creating a hydraulic car jack tailored for a Formula Student car is a fantastic project that blends engineering design, manufacturing, and practical application. Here's an outline to guide you:

1. Define Objectives Primary Purpose: Lift a Formula Student car for maintenance or inspection. Key Specifications: Load Capacity: ~300-350 kg (typical FS car weight). Lifting Height: Sufficient to access underbody (~200-300 mm). Portability: Lightweight and compact for pit use. Ease of Operation: Minimal effort, quick actuation.

2. Key Components

Hydraulic Cylinder: Choose a single-acting cylinder with enough force to lift the car.

Frame: Use lightweight but strong materials (e.g., aluminum alloys or high-strength steel). Design for stability and minimal deflection under load.

Control Valve: Incorporate a simple release valve for controlled lowering.

Base and Wheels: Add wheels or rollers for mobility. Ensure a stable base to prevent tipping during operation. ​

3. Manufacturing Plan Frame Fabrication: Use welded assembly for precision. Hydraulic System: Assemble off-the-shelf components or design custom parts for optimization. Testing and Safety: Perform load testing, include safety stops, and ensure leak-proof connections.

4. Documentation Prepare CAD models, stress analysis (FEA), and detailed drawings. Document calculations and testing results for evaluation.
