Kompetensi pembimbing syarikat bertauliah Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional (SLDN)

Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional (SLDN) merupakan satu sistem latihan dan usahasama antara sektor awam dan sektor swasta dilaksanakan untuk melahirkan tenaga mahir k-worker selari dengan keperluan industri masa kini untuk membangunkan ekonomi negara. Pihak kerajaan dan syarikat swasta menaja pekerja pilihan mereka sebagai pelatih dalam sistem latihan ini bagi mempertingkatkan kebolehan pekerja mereka. Selain itu, pelatih juga terdiri daripada pelajar yang tidak dapat melanjutkan pelajaran ke mana-mana institusi pengajian tinggi awam mahupun swasta. Sistem ini menjalankan pendekatan day release iaitu pelatih menjalani latihan selama empat hari di industri dan satu hari di institusi latihan atau block release iaitu pelatih menjalani latihan kemahiran di industri empat bulan dan satu bulan di institusi latihan mengikut kesesuaian industri tersebut. Kajian berbentuk deskriptif dijalankan untuk melihat melihat tahap kompetensi pembimbing SLDN. Selain itu juga, kajian ini dijalankan bagi melihat perbezaan terhadap tahap pengetahuan, kemahiran dan sikap pembimbing SLDN berdasarkan jantina. Kajian ini juga dibuat bagi menentukan hubungan kompetensi pembimbing berdasarkan pengalaman bekerja. Penyelidikan tinjauan deskriptif ini menggunakan borang soal selidik sebagai instrumen kajian berskala Likert. Seramai 84 orang responden yang terdiri daripada pembimbing syarikat bertauliah SLDN terlibat di dalam kajian ini. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS versi 16.0. Hasil analisis mendapati pembimbing mempunyai pengetahuan yang tinggi di samping kemahiran dan sikap. Keputusan inferensi pula menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbezaan antara tahap pengetahuan, kemahiran dan sikap pembimbing berdasarkan jantina manakala analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara kompetensi pembimbing berdasarkan pengalaman bekerja

Improvements in FE-analysis of real-life sheet metal forming

An overview will be presented of recent developments concerning the application\ud and development of computer codes for numerical simulation of sheet metal forming\ud processes. In this paper attention is paid to some strategies which are followed to improve the\ud accuracy and to reduce the computation time of a finite element simulation. Special attention\ud will be paid to the mathematical modeling of the material deformation and friction, and the\ud effect of these models on the results of simulations. An equivalent drawbead model is\ud developed which avoids a drastic increase of computation time without significant loss of\ud accuracy. The real geometry of the drawbead is replaced by a line on the tool surface. When\ud an element of the sheet metal passes this drawbead line an additional drawbead restraining\ud force, lift force and a plastic strain are added to that element. A commonly used yield\ud criterion for anisotropic plastic deformation is the Hill yield criterion. This description is not\ud always sufficient to accurately describe the material behavior. This is due to the\ud determination of material parameters by uni-axial tests only. A new yield criterion is\ud proposed, which directly uses the experimental results at multi-axial stress states. The yield\ud criterion is based on the pure shear point, the uni-axial point, the plane strain point and the\ud equi-biaxial point

Energy dissipation prediction of particle dampers

This paper presents initial work on developing models for predicting particle dampers (PDs) behaviour using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). In the DEM approach, individual particles are typically represented as elements with mass and rotational inertia. Contacts between particles and with walls are represented using springs, dampers and sliding friction interfaces. In order to use DEM to predict damper behaviour adequately, it is important to identify representative models of the contact conditions. It is particularly important to get the appropriate trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency as PDs have so many individual elements. In order to understand appropriate models, experimental work was carried out to understand interactions between the typically small (1.5–3 mm diameter) particles used. Measurements were made of coefficient of restitution and interface friction. These were used to give an indication of the level of uncertainty that the simplest (linear) models might assume. These data were used to predict energy dissipation in a PD via a DEM simulation. The results were compared with that of an experiment

Closing the Gap between the Workshop and Numerical Simulations in Sheet Metal Forming

The accuracy and reliability of numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes do not yet satisfy the industrial requirements. In this paper we pay attention to the strategies which can be followed to decrease the gap between the real deepdrawing process and the predictions obtained from the simulation. We will focus on three aspects to improve the numerical simulations. The contact search for an accurate contact and friction behaviour is treated firstly. The friction behaviour itself is the second point of attention. Thirdly, attention is paid to drawbead modelling in 3D simulation

An empirical model for early resistance changes due to electromigration

A new heuristic description for electromigration-induced early resistance changes is given. The basis is formed by two coupled partial differential equations, one for vacancies, and one for imperfections. These equations are solved numerically for a grain boundary bamboo structure. It is shown that this model is capable of simulating the typical effects as observed in early resistance change measurements. These early resistance changes are due to the redistributions of the vacancies and the generation of imperfections. Simulations are performed that closely match the measured resistance change curves
