This technique is particularly effective in extending tool life, minimizing surface roughness, and reducing cutting forces, which are critical factors in precision manufacturing. Unlike many previous studies that focus on high-speed spindles or specialized machining centers, the present research investigates the application of UVAM in finishing operations performed on conventional machine tools. The study specifically targets small, narrow surfaces with intricate profiles where the use of high-speed spindles is either impractical or unavailable. This approach broadens the scope of UVAM by demonstrating its feasibility in more common manufacturing environments. The ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting tool used in this research is designed to be structurally similar to a conventional stand-alone cutting tool, allowing it to be integrated easily into traditional machining setups without requiring major modifications. To systematically evaluate the effects of key machining parameters on surface quality, the Taguchi method was employed as the experimental design framework. The parameters examined include vibration frequency (f), voltage supplied to the ultrasonic actuator (V), and spindle speed (n), which collectively influence the machining dynamics. The primary goal of the study was to achieve a surface roughness (Ra) below 1.6 μm while maintaining spindle speeds not exceeding 180 revolutions per minute, conditions relevant to conventional machine tool capabilities. Experimental results clearly indicate that vibration frequency exerts the most significant influence on surface roughness, followed by the voltage input to the ultrasonic actuator, while spindle speed within the tested range has a minor effect. Several experimental trials successfully achieved Ra values lower than the 1.6 μm target, confirming the effectiveness of UVAM under these constraints. These findings underscore the potential of ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining to improve surface finish quality on complex geometries even when using standard machining equipment. Ultimately, this work contributes valuable insights into expanding the practical application of UVAM, offering a promising solution for manufacturing scenarios where advanced high-speed machines are not accessible, thereby enhancing surface quality in resource-limited production settings.</p> 2025-10-21T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1280 Chẩn đoán hư hỏng động cơ trên xe điện cỡ nhỏ bằng phương pháp mô phỏng 2025-11-12T17:55:01+07:00 Đình Hùng Nguyễn nguyendinhhung@hcmut.edu.vn Việt Thắng Vũ vvthang@hcmut.edu.vn Nguyên Phúc Nguyễn npnguyen@hcmut.edu.vn <p>Nghiên cứu phương pháp chẩn đoán các hư hỏng có thể xảy ra trong động cơ một chiều không chổi than (Brushless Direct Current, BLDC) dùng trên xe điện cỡ nhỏ trong các trường hợp ngắn mạch, điện trở cao, hở mạch, …là một trong những phương pháp xác định hư hỏng đang tồn tại làm cho cho động cơ tụt giảm công suất hoặc hoạt động không hiệu quả. Bằng các mô hình toán học được xây dựng dựa trên sơ đồ nguyên lí tương ứng của loại động cơ này có thể xây dựng mô hình chẩn đoán hư hỏng và mô tả diễn biến của từng lỗi mà động cơ đang xảy ra hư hỏng. Xây dựng mô hình chẩn đoán bằng phương pháp này có thể tìm ra các giá trị đáp ứng của động cơ khi hoạt động dòng điện các pha, momen điện từ và tốc độ trục rotor ứng với từng chế độ lỗi thu được trong môi trường Matlab Simulink. Phân tích kết quả mô phỏng, nhóm nghiên cứu tìm được biểu hiện của động cơ BLDC khi xảy ra các lỗi trong các trường hợp đã nêu và thêm các sự cố ngắn mạch và điện trở cao đều xuất hiện những dấu hiệu tương ứng với biểu hiện từng trường hợp lỗi này. Đây là phương pháp khá khó để nhận biết nếu không có các thiết bị đo và phương pháp chẩn đoán hợp lí trong thực tế, chính điều này gây ra sự hư hỏng nhanh chóng của động cơ nếu lỗi không được phát hiện sớm.

However, only 10% to 15% of the energy consumed to produce compressed air is useful, while the remainder is waste due to heat losses, air leakages, and non-optimized operations. Therefore, improving the energy efficiency of the pneumatic compressor system is desired. In this paper, a scheme for enhancing the energy efficiency of a compressed air network is proposed. The scheme mainly focuses on reducing energy consumption via monitoring the compressed air system, identifying leakages, optimizing the operation, and advising how to appropriately size and number of compressors for the demand. In this scheme, the audit is performed, wherein the pressure, temperature, and flow in the system’s critical points are gathered using a sensor network. An IoT software for data acquisition and audit is developed. The data from the audit is stored in the server’s database and used to monitor the system via a website. Additionally, an algorithm is developed for determining the operating schedule of each compressor through optimal problem-solving with the gathered data. The optimization proposed in this study is based on the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm. The proposed algorithm is presented generically, allowing for its application to any compressed air network with parallel compressors. Based on the optimized operating schedule, a centralized control system is implemented to control all compressors with high energy efficiency. Finally, a testbed is used to verify the centralized control system and the IoT software, whereas the performance of the optimal algorithm is validated by considering a simulation case study.</p> 2025-11-12T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1286 Study on the design and manufacturing for the five-axis CNC machine 2025-11-18T11:49:37+07:00 Nguyen Hai Dang nhdang@hcmut.edu.vn <p>The advent of technology has led to a growing demand for automation compact machines. In the past, large, heavy machines were the norm. However, these machines were often not practical for small businesses or startups, as they were expensive to purchase, maintain, and operate. They were also not portable, making it difficult to move them from one location to another. In recent years, there has been a shift towards more compact and portable machines. These machines are still capable of performing complex machining tasks, but they are much smaller and easier to use. This makes them ideal for small businesses and startups, as well as for home use. One of the most important benefits of compact CNC machines is their affordability. These machines are often much cheaper than traditional large machines. This makes them a more viable option for small businesses and startups, which may not have the budget for a large, expensive machine. Another benefit of compact machines is their portability. These machines are often small enough to be easily trans- ported. This makes them ideal for businesses that need to move their machines from one location to another. It also makes them a good option for home use, as they can be easily stored in a garage or workshop. In addition to being affordable and portable, compact machines are also often veryversatile. These machines can often be used for a variety of machining tasks, which makes them a good investment for businesses that need to be able to handle a variety of projects. Overall, com- pact CNC machines offer several advantages over traditional large CNC machines. They are more affordable, portable, and versatile. This makes them a good option for small businesses, startups, and home users.</p> 2025-11-18T11:17:20+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1279 Đánh Giá Khả Năng Phanh Tái Sinh Trên Ô Tô Điện Cỡ Nhỏ Dùng Động Cơ 1 Kw 2025-11-26T18:43:49+07:00 Nguyễn Đình Hùng nguyendinhhung@hcmut.edu.vn <p>Ngày nay, giải pháp ô tô điện được xem là xu hướng tất yếu để đáp ứng nhu cầu giao thông bền vững trong tương lai. Một trong những hướng nghiên cứu quan trọng là cải thiện quãng đường di chuyển của ô tô điện với cùng một dung lượng pin. Nhiều nghiên cứu tập trung vào tối ưu hóa các hệ thống trên ô tô điện (Battery Electric Vehicles - BEVs) nhằm tăng hiệu suất và khả năng di chuyển. Nổi bật trong số đó là hệ thống phanh tái tạo (Regenerative Braking System - RBS), cho phép thu hồi năng lượng trong quá trình giảm tốc, góp phần nâng cao hiệu quả sử dụng năng lượng. Bài báo này đánh giá khả năng thu hồi năng lượng của ô tô điện cỡ nhỏ sử dụng động cơ điện không chổi than (Brushless Direct Current - BLDC) công suất 1kW. Cụ thể, nghiên cứu xây dựng mô hình mô phỏng phanh tái sinh và sử dụng dữ liệu thực tế trên băng thử để hiệu chỉnhvà tối ưu hóa mô hình. Kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy, khi ô tô di chuyển trên đường phẳng hoặc ở vận tốc trên 10 km/h, việc sử dụng phanh tái tạo giúp tăng hiệu quả khai thác năng lượng đáng kể. Tỷ lệ thu hồi năng lượng đạt từ 5-10% tùy thuộc vào điều kiện vận hành, góp phần kéo dài quãng đường di chuyển mà không cần tăng dung lượng pin. Tuy nhiên, nghiên cứu cũng chỉ ra thách thức liên quan đến tuổi thọ của bộ lưu trữ điện. Khi phanh ở vận tốc cao, cường độ dòng điện tăng đột ngột có thể gây áp lực lớn lên hệ thống pin nếu không có giải pháp quản lý năng lượng hiệu quả. Do đó, cần phát triển các công nghệ điều khiển dòng điện và hệ thống lưu trữ tiên tiến hơn để tối ưu hóa quá trình thu hồi năng lượng, đồng thời bảo vệ độ bền của pin. Những kết quả này mở ra hướng nghiên cứu mới, thúc đẩy sự phát triển của ô tô điện cỡ nhỏ trong tương lai, đáp ứng nhu cầu giao thông đô thị bền vững và hiệu quả.</p> 2025-11-26T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1462 The study of health effects on the residents caused by highway mobile source in the central air quality district of Taiwan, ROC 2025-10-15T15:49:03+07:00 Sheng Lung Lin sllin@cyut.edu.tw Shih Chun Wang ivanwang0901@hotmail.com <p>This study assesses the externalities in health effect caused by carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NO<sub>X</sub>) from highway transport in the central air quality district, Taiwan. The utilization of typical vehicle emissions, dispersion model and monetary valuation had been adapted and integrated from the EU-based IPA. The outputs include the estimated CO quantities were 269 tons and NO<sub>X</sub> quantities were 270 tons in 2005. Then, the prediction of the average ambient concentration obtained by combining CALINE-4 and GIS of CO was 5.9ppm and NO<sub>X</sub> is 0.22ppm. The results conjectured for high impact area show that the emissions spread to the leeward side of highway. Moreover, the calculation of damage costs based on dose-response functions had been displayed by GIS grid distribution. Particularly, acute mortality caused by nitrogen oxide, dominate in terms of cost. Ultimately, the results have been scaled up nationwide, total environmental externalities due to CO &amp; NO<sub>X</sub> were totalized to USD 37.57 million ~ USD 521.21 million standing for 0.07% of the GDP of the study area in 2005.</p> 2025-10-15T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1134 A technique for monitoring diesel common-rail direct injection engines used in a bus fleet for preventive maintenance purposes 2025-10-15T16:54:39+07:00 Ho Nam Hoa namhoaho@hcmut.edu.vn Tran Dang Long trandanglong@hcmut.edu.vn Dinh Quoc Tri dinhquoctri@hcmut.edu.vn Vu Viet Thang vuvietthang@hcmut.edu.vn Tran Quang Lam lamtq1910@hcmut.edu.vn Nguyen Vinh Hao vinhhao@hcmut.edu.vn <p>This paper describes an IoT-based technique for gathering the operational data from EURO 4 diesel common-rail direct injection systems used in a bus fleet in real-time, and a methodology to monitor engine technical status basing on these collected data. The engine livedata acquisition system developed in this study has three major parts including OBD-II livedata recorders installed in buses, a local server located in the bus depot to collect daily livedata from the bus fleet, and a web server to store livedata from several bus depots and provides data mining services. By the combination of a local server and a web server, the operational cost can be reduced and the daily livedata can be simultaneously stored in both servers for safety reasons.&nbsp; A pilot system was successfully developed and tested in a real environment. Engine livedata were shown to be collected accurately, precisely, and robustly. The result of this research is an important technical platform to predict the degradation tendencies of sensors, actuators and mechanical components for engine preventive mainteance as well as to provide operational history for engine diagnostics and repair.</p> 2025-10-15T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://stdjet.scienceandtechnology.com.vn/index.php/stdjet/article/view/1133 Research on physical, and chemical properties of viscose with spandex composition, application for the production of elastic denim fabric 2025-10-19T14:30:46+07:00 Son Phuoc Nguyen sonnp@hcmute.edu.vn Huong Thi Minh Nguyen huonghtm@hcmut.edu.vn Nguyen Dai Tran trandainguyen@hcmut.edu.vn <p>Spandex-blended viscose fiber used in apparel is a fiber that has the benefits of breathability, fit, comfort, and elasticity. Research on the mechanical and physical properties of viscose fiber blended with spandex helps in the selection of woven fabrics for the production of Denim fabric, as a suitable raw material for jeans. The present study investigates how some physical and mechanical properties, like fiber density, post-washing fiber size, tensile strength, tear strength, breathability, and so on, vary under different washing conditions.</p> <p>Spandex is highly elastic and is soluble in extremely high solvents. Spandex is not susceptible to hydrolysis effects during normal laundering and hand washing or laundering processes that do not use the solvents commonly used in dry cleaning such as perchloroethylene or benzene. Spandex fibers have resistance to low concentrations of acid, alkali and oxidizers. However, they lose their elasticity when treated with acids and alkalis of high concentrations for a long time. Rapid loss in elasticity depends on temperature. Elastic spandex fibers have resistance to the active chlorine in the bathtub water.</p> <p>Viscose which is a man-made fiber and is derived from cellulose rayon (man-made silk from wood) belongs to a group of regenerated fibers to create fibers used as textile materials at affordable prices. Viscose is produced via the wet spinning method in a coagulation bath. Viscose fiber has a lower tensile strength under wet conditions than under dry conditions. Besides, it has a higher elongation under wet conditions.</p> 2025-10-19T00:00:00+07:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement##
