This paper describes mathematically the cutting force prediction model based on different cutting parameters in end milling of steel AISI1020. In this study, Cutting tests were conducted mainly on Vertical Machining Center for end milling of steel using coated TiN insert under dry conditions and full immersion cutting. The mathematical model for th

For amputees, the development of cybernetic hands that closely resembles the functions of real hands is essential for comfortability and functionality purposes. Controlled by intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, human thumb plays a major role in differentiating hand gestures. For those who have lost their intrinsic hand muscles, any information about m

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a three-dimensional (3D) printing method under the additive manufacturing process. The process of FDM runs by depositing a melted filament which is a built material, layer by layer on a printing bed. This paper intends to sum up the latest research findings in recent years on the effects of printing parameters on

The taboos of the people from the Jakun tribe has formed a unique identity because there are similarities and differences with the Malays. However, research and documentation related to taboos of the Jakun tribe, especially those living in Kampung Sentosa, Lenga, are seen to be less disclosed to the outside community, thus causing a loss in the stu

With the emergence of climate change and the increasing human intervention in the global climate, floods have affected different parts of the world. In practice, floods are the most terrible natural disaster in the world, both in terms of casualties and financial losses. To reduce the adverse effects of this phenomenon, it is necessary to use struc

Piezoelectric material has the ability to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa, making it suitable for use as an actuator and sensor. When used as a controller in sensor mode, the piezoelectric transducer is connected to an external electrical circuit where the converted electrical energy will be dissipated through Joule he

Spectrum congestion in frequencies below 10 GHz is pushing satellite network operators to migrate to higher bands. Nonetheless, availability and system performance can be seriously degraded at higher frequency bands when the operating link experiences severe rainfall intensity. A study has been carried out to investigate the different consequences

Layer-by-layer buildup of material is utilized in the process known as additive manufacturing (AM) to produce prototypes or end products. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the most commonly used AM processes. For FDM, the extruder’s nozzle plays a significant role as it is responsible for creating the build of material layer by layer. Th

The train is one of the main transportations to move or transfer loads, including people and goods from one place to another on wheeled vehicles running on a railways track. Since, the railways were exposed to extreme conditions, the purpose of the design structure for the railways is to overcome the circumstances. Furthermore, the same train runni

Food packaging is held in place on conveyor belts inside custom-made holders to facilitate their filling and sealing. But fabricating holders for every kind of food packaging can be very expensive. Now, IIUM scientists have collaborated with food manufacturing company Organic Gain Sdn Bhd to develop a diverse range of food holders using 3D printing
