1	004-kch	Influence of Vehicle Sandwich Bumper Beam on Child Occupant Head Injuries in Frontal Crashes I.A Rafukka ^1,3, B.B Sahari^1 , A.A Nuraini^1, A. Manohar^2 ^1Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia ^2 Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia ^3Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Bayero University, PMB 3011, Kano, Nigeria Abstract: Though substantial literature studied the performance of light weight material in energy absorption and vehicle weight reduction, limited attention was given to how effective such materials are in reducing injury risk to vehicle occupants especially children. Objective: To study the effect of sandwich energy absorption bumper beam on minimizing the three year old child occupant head injuries based on 48 km/h full frontal impact. Results: Head Injury Criteria (HIC) evaluated from child dummy finite element (FE) model was compared for the steel and sandwich bumper.  and  for steel bumper were respectively 43% and 49% above National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) limit. Significant reductions in head injury were obtained with sandwich bumper in which  and  were found to be 22% and 5% below the recommended limit. This study revealed that in addition to providing protection to pedestrians, the energy absorption bumpers have the potential of preventing child occupant injuries. Conclusion: Sandwich bumper material can reduce injury level to child occupant in frontal crashes at 48 Km/h due to increase in energy absorption. It is suggested that bumper energy absorption characteristics be included in design consideration for better child occupant safety.
2	005-kch	Effect of Tetraoctylphosphonium Bromide (TOP-Br) on Characteristics and Morphology of PVDF/TOP-Br Nanocomposite Membrane ^1Asmadi Ali, ^2Nur Alyaa Mohd Sani, ^3Mohammad Awang, ^4Mohd Aidil Adha Abdullah, ^5Nor Shalihan Mohamed ^1,2,3,5School of Ocean Engineering Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia. ^4School of Fundamental Science, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane is categorized as hydrophobic membrane that leads to a low membrane flux and easily fouled during membrane operation process. The addition of nanoparticles into the membrane matrix is an efficient way in adjusting membrane properties, thus improve membrane hydrophilicity and performance with more effective antifouling capabilities. In this study, the PVDF/TOP-Br nanocomposite membrane was prepared by blending method with addition of different TOP-Br clay dosage. Flat sheet asymmetric (PVDF/TOP-Br) membranes were prepared via phase inversion method. Membrane characterization were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis and mechanical properties. The introduction of TOP-Br gives better dispersion and formation of exfoliated layers of clays in PVDF membrane. The results revealed that an increase in the clay content make the membrane become more porous, thin skin layer and increase the porosity of the membrane nanocomposite thus increase their hydrophilicity. The composite membrane also showed greater stiffness compared to pure PVDF membrane.
3	006-kch	Sustainability Assessment Model for Sustainable Design Concept Evaluation (SDCE): Malaysia Automotive Industry Faiz Mohd Turan *^1, Kartina Johan ^1 ^1 Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 26600 Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. Abstract: In order to remain competitive in today’s technologically driven world, the faster and more efficient development of innovative and sustainable products has become the focus for manufacturing companies. Design concept evaluation which is the end of conceptual design is one of the most critical decision points. It relates to the final success of product development, because poor criteria assessment in design concept evaluation can rarely compensated at the later stages. Furthermore, consumers, investors, shareholders and even competitors are basing their decisions on what to buy or invest in, from whom, and also on what company report, and sustainability is one of a critical component. In this research, a new methodology of sustainable design concept evaluation for Malaysia automotive related industries has been developed using integration of Green Project Management (GPM) P5 Integration Matrix, new scale of “Weighting criteria” and Rough-Grey Analysis. This method will help design engineers to improve the effectiveness and objectivity of the sustainable design concept evaluation, enable them to make better-informed decisions before finalising their choice and consequently create value to the company or industry. The new framework is expected to provide an alternative to existing methods of design concept evaluation.
4	009-kch	Perception of Employees on Corporate Sustainability in Affecting Customer Confidence and Loyalty: A Case Study in Malaysian Industries Kartina Johan *^1, Faiz Mohd Turan ^1 ^1 Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 26600 Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. Abstract: This paper aims to study the perception of the employees of industries in Malaysia on their companies in applying corporate sustainability as a concept in creating an ethical brand that strengthen consumer confidence and loyalty. A structure survey instrument is developed to study the employees’ perception on the company’s sustainable business practices in their companies. The targeted respondents are employees from various companies in Malaysia. The data obtained are analyzed and commented using spreadsheet analysis on the frequency and relative importance value. The results show good perception on their company’s sustainable business practices in becoming an ethical brand with the shared values’ of Malaysia being a country which supports Sustainable Development Goal initiatives (SDGs). The study also shows employees’ perception on reasons for businesses to incorporate sustainability concepts in their operations are in line with the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) principles with profitability as the strongest perceived reason. The findings indeed support future research in transforming Malaysia’s own domestic economy to a more sustainable direction.
5	012-kch	XFEM MODELLING OF SINGLE –LAP WOVEN FABRIC KENAF COMPOSITES BOLTED JOINTS WITH TEMPERATURE ACTION Anders Hans^#1, Hilton Ahmad^#2 ^#Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Universiti Tun Hussien Onn Malaysia, 86400, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat, Johor, MALAYSIA. ^[e-mail] ^[e-mail] Abstract— Kenaf fibers as reinforcing fibers and combined with epoxy polymers matrix to develop a sustainable composite materials were reported and it has excellent specific tensile modulus (and specific strength), renewable, relatively cheap, and less hazardous during handling as compared to synthetic fibers composites counterparts. Present experimental work investigates bearing stress at failure of single-lap bolted joint woven fabric kenaf composite plates under finger-tight condition of room and elevated temperature actions respectively. Other parametric studies include variation of lay-up types and normalised plate width W/d as specified in testing series. Present work concentrates on opening mode (Mode I) fracture associated with stress raisers ahead of notch tip. Experimental flow includes weaving of kenaf yarns using handloom weaving machine, composite panels fabrication using wet hand lay-up techniques, cutting into testing coupons and hole drilling prior to mechanical testing. The experiment results showed small increase of bearing stress under temperature action (120°C) due to of matrix toughening. Strength prediction works of bolted joints problem were implemented using 3-dimensional XFEM framework and validated against experimental result datasets. The constitutive model used were based on physically based traction-separation law by implementing independently determined unnotched strength, o and fracture energy Gc. Good agreements between experimental work and finite element modelling results were achieved in most cases.
6	013-kch	A Comparative Bond Study of Deformed Steel Bar in Different Concrete Grades and Concrete Fiber Zuraida Zaini-Rijal^#1, Ahmad Baharuddin Abd. Rahman^#2 ^#Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia ^[e-mail] ^[e-mail] Abstract—In this study, the bond behaviour of deformed steel bar diameter embedded in different concrete grades and concrete fiber was investigated. Deformed steel bars of 16 mm and 20 mm diameter were constantly embedded at a depth of 65 mm in cylinder specimens. The pullout loads, bond strength, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the specimens were determined. It was found that, the bond strength between deformed steel bar and concrete was increased parallel to the increased of mechanical properties of the concrete. It was demonstrated that the deformed steel bar with concrete fiber provides higher bond strength compared to bond with other concrete grades. However, the smaller diameter of deformed steel bar produced higher bond strength rather than bigger the diameter.

8	016-kch	Alignment Measurement Technique for Satellite Assembly, Integration and Test Asmaliza Zulkifli^1, Nor Hafizah Abdullah^2, Ng Su Wai^3, Wong Soo Mee^4 and Maszlan Ismail^5 ^1,2,3,4,5Space System Development & Operational Division, National Space Agency of Malaysia; ^[e-mail];^[e-mail];^[e-mail]; ^[e-mail]; ^[e-mail] Abstract: In a satellite development cycle, alignment measurement is crucial especially during assembly and integration of satellite part and component as well as a series of mechanical tests performed onto it. It plays a vital role in ensuring critical components of satellite such as antenna, solar panels and reaction wheels are correctly and precisely aligned as per design specifications. Besides, it serves as complimentary analyses for pre and post inspection and verification during mechanical tests. Combination of two measurement parameters, namely the orientation (angle) and the position (distance) will provide complete coordinate knowledge of satellite system. Selection of appropriate measurement technique and equipment on large scale measurement play significant factor in determining the whole measurement plan. Further analyses of measured data will be performed on metrology software, Spatial Analyzer. Details on technique used for satellite alignment measurement are elaborated. A measurement model and real measurement data emphasizing on effectiveness of the mentioned technique are presented.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of TQM practices and organizational performance in the halal food industry. The research methodology is by documentations analysis based on previous literature and the outcome of this writing would be a conceptual model. This model will be used to study the relationship between TQM practices and organizational performance in halal food industry.
10	020-kch	Stress and Damage Formation Analysis in Hip Arthroplasties using CT-based Finite Element Method Abdul Halim Abdullah^#1, Mitsugu Todo^*2, Yasuharu Nakashima^†3 ^#Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia ^[e-mail], [e-mail] ^*Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, Kasuga 816-8580 Fukuoka, Japan ^[e-mail] ^†Faculty of Medical sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan ^[e-mail] Abstract—Femoral neck fractures and prosthesis loosening are several biomechanical concerns in promoting the long term stability of hip arthroplasties. External high impact loading due to sideway falls may contribute to the risk of femoral fractures and joint failures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the biomechanical effects of hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty on the resulting stress and damage formation. Four loading conditions are considered in the analysis to represent sideway falls at different configurations. Finite element analysis is performed using CT-based femoral bone model to predict the stress and damage formation in both arthroplasties. Stress shielding effects and potential of femoral fractures are observed in the cortical bone adjacent to the prosthesis. The results show that stress adaptation is predicted at both hip arthroplasties cases which lead to stress shielding problems especially in total hip arthroplasty. The variation of damage formation at trochanteric region suggested for femoral neck fractures and potential of implant loosening in both cases.
11	022-kch	Thermal Stress Analysis on Cleaving Sapphire Material by CO2 Laser Alias Mohd Saman^1, Tatsuaki Furumoto^2, Akira Hosokawa^3, Takashi Ueda^4 ^1Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 40450 Selangor, Malaysia ^2,3Institute of Science and Engineering, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-1192, Japan ^4Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Nagoya University, Nagoya, 464-8603,Japan ^[e-mail],^[e-mail], ^[e-mail], ^[e-mail] Abstract—This paper investigates thermal-stress behavior during cleaving process of sapphire wafer by CO2 laser irradiation. Thermal-stress cleaving process is used to separate the sapphire wafer by extending the fracture via thermal stress generated by a laser heat. The process capable to produce an excellent separated surface condition. The finite-element method was used to evaluate a steady-state thermal stress by considering the temperature transient during irradiation process. Fracture initiation has been determined by analysing the stress intensity factor, K1. The result shows that energy from the CO2 laser was absorbed mostly on the surface area of the sapphire material. Thermal stress was generated and tensile stress developed at the bottom surface of the sapphire wafer. Fracture begin to start from the bottom surface of the material, instead of from the pre-prepared micro-groove on the irradiation surface if higher power laser is used. The fracture cannot be controlled and may lead to a poor cleaving surface. Therefore, laser absorption characteristics perform an important factor on fracture initiation in thermal-stress cleaving technique.
