Nursherida1, B.B. Sahari1, A.A.Nuraini1 and A.Manohar2 1 Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 2 Department of Orthopedics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Background: Although a number of finite element model (FEM) adult neck models have been developed to understand the injury mechanisms of the neck in automotive related crash scenarios, there have been fewer efforts to develop a child neck model. In this study, a one-year-old neck FEM was developed for application in the improvement of pediatric safety related to automotive crash. Therefore, there are not enough models representing one-year-old child. Child neck injury is a costly problem, both in terms of morbidity and direct medical costs. Despite its importance and effect on the population, the study of one-year-old neck injury is obstructed by the lack of available paediatric post mortem human specimen (PMHS) data. This paper presents the development and validation of a one-year-old FEM for neck dummy and simulated results compared with the child Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) experimental data under neck pendulum test procedure. It is intended for automotive crashworthiness assessment. The model was developed by using both deformable and rigid body materials. The one-year-old neck anthropometric data was obtained from published journal articles. Using recent published material property data, the paediatric skull, skin and scalp FEM of the one-year-old ATD head and neck were developed to study the response in neck pendulum tests. The neck test procedure was validated by using two different pendulum tests set-ups. The two pendulum test set-ups are neck extension test and neck flexion test. A pendulum was developed using LS-DYNA that follow the specifications from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) part 572, subpart R (12-month-old) dummy performance calibration test certification procedure. The pendulum was release and fall freely from a height to achieve an impact speed of 2.5 m/s in neck extension test and 5.2 m/s in neck extension test as measure at the center of the pendulum accelerometer at the instant contact with the honeycomb. The benchmark model used in this study was a modified version of the six-year-old numerical model developed by Livermore Software Technology Corporation and National Crash Analysis Center. A morphing method within LS-Prepost software was used. Objective: to develop and validate 19 a one-year-old neck FEM for application in the improvement of pediatric safety related to automotive crash. Results: For neck flexion test, the pendulum ΔV with respect to impact velocity are 1.67 m/s when t=10ms, 4.04 m/s when t=20ms and 4.87 m/s when t=25ms. For neck extension test, the pendulum ΔV with respect to impact velocity are 1.13 m/s when 6 ms, 1.99 m/s when 10 ms and 2.516 m/s when t=14ms. Conclusion: A FEM of the one-year-old neck was developed in this study, and was validated against experimental data in terms of velocity. 7 002- ipcmmme Axial Crushing of Thin-walled Structure with Crease Lines Siti Marhainis, A.

Efficient energy absorbing devices should have low initial peak force, so that no excessive force is transmitted to the structures that needed protection. Thus, this paper focuses on the role of crease lines of patterns, applied to the surface of thin-walled structure to the produced initial peak force and collapse pattern. Two types of thinwalled structures which are pre-folded with horizontal and inclined crease lines are investigated with finite element analysis. The results show that thinwalled structures having per-folded inclined with horizontal crease lines exhibit lower initial peak force when compared to the thin-walled structure with only pre-folded horizontal crease lines and benchmark thin-walled structure with no crease lines. 8 003- ipcmmme Flexural Analysis Laminates of Aluminum/Carbon-Epoxy Fiber Metal M.

This research focuses on to identify the main factors of slips and falls incidents at workplace. Although this incident seldom occur but the effect of this accident surely because various kind of problems such as fractures, sprained joints, back injuries, contusions and lacerations either to victim or employer. The effects of slips and falls not only cause a small or simple injury, instead it might result in serious injuries such as permanent injury and fatalities. Besides the injuries, the victim also has to support the medical cost and at the same time the victim will lose their jobs or salary result of the slips and falls incident. Although victim may get their compensation claims from that accident, it would commensurate for victim or victim’s family. Because of such reason, this project will identify the main cause of slips and falls incident among workers at workplace. 11 008- ipcmmme A Comparison Study between Right Hand and Left Hand Grip Pressure Force While Driving Seri Rahayu *1, Mohammad Firdaus 2, Kalthom Husain 3 1,2,3 Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Hang Tuah Jaya, Malacca, Malaysia Background: This paper presents the result of hand grip pressure force of male and female drivers driving a vehicle on different road conditions (straight road, hill road, winding road, rough and smooth road) at constant speeds (80 km/h). In this study, there are ten subjects were participated. The force measurement were taken and evaluated by using the tactile grip and pressure measurement (Grip System) which the grip sensor was positioned over important anatomic sections of fingers and palm. The result of this study indicated that the left hand grip pressure force of both gender is higher compared to right hand grip pressure force. Besides, the results showed significantly higher hand grip pressure force values for the male driver in comparison to the female driver. Furthermore, this study showed that palm part of the hand produced more hand grip pressure force compare to others part (fingers and thumb). This study can be used as a referral for the next research, primarily in solving the driving fatigue problem in achieving safety in driving as well as reducing the number of car accidents. 12 009- ipcmmme The effects of size on pinch force Poh Kiat Ng *1, Adi Saptari 2, Kian Siong Jee 1, Yue Hang Tan 1 1 Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Multimedia University, Jalan Ayer Keroh Lama, Bukit Beruang, 75450 Malacca Malaysia. 2 Adi Saptari, Department of Manufacturing Management, Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Technical University of Malaysia Malacca, Hang Tuah Jaya, 76100 22 Durian Tunggal, Malacca, Malaysia. Background: Forceful pinch force exertions in manual handling can cause hand or finger injuries and finger-related cumulative trauma disorders, particularly if it engages precision activities such as operating small machine knobs or dials. In precision activities such as pinching, the size of the object may have considerable effects on pinch force. Objective: This study aims to determine the effects of size on pinch force, with an emphasis on small apparatus such as knobs that are operated using pinch grips. Results: This study concludes that pinch force is significantly affected by size for a loaded structure. However, for an unloaded structure, size does not significantly affect pinch force due to the absence of the loading effect from the structure which causes the forces to be similar across different sizes. The average pinch force exerted on the large size knobs is the lowest among the other sizes since the fingers extend further, causing the contact area between the finger pads and the object surface to be lesser, and the applied normal force to be lower. Conclusion: This study contributes to the knowledge of the effects of object size on pinch force. It can potentially be used as a reference in the enhancement of both safety and design so as to allow hand-related manual work to be less strenuous and more accommodating to the users’ fingers. 13 010- ipcmmme Torque Direction and its influence on pinch force Poh Kiat Ng *1, Adi Saptari 2, Kian Siong Jee 1, Yue Hang Tan 1 1 Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Multimedia University, Jalan Ayer Keroh Lama, Bukit Beruang, 75450 Malacca Malaysia. 2 Adi Saptari, Department of Manufacturing Management, Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Technical University of Malaysia Malacca, Hang Tuah Jaya, 76100 Durian Tunggal, Malacca, Malaysia. Background: High-force pinch grip exertions can often lead to hand injuries and musculoskeletal disorders, especially when it involves precision activities such as turning small knobs or small screwdrivers. In precision activities such as pinching, torque direction may play an important role in leveraging and controlling pinch force. Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of torque direction on pinch force, with an emphasis on small apparatus that require pinching such as knobs. Results: It is found that the influence of torque direction on pinch force is significant. Furthermore, the average pinch force exerted in a clockwise motion is generally higher than the average pinch force applied in a counterclockwise motion because the skin friction from turning the object in a clockwise torque direction flexes the distal phalanges and increases the normal force. Conclusion: This study enhances the knowledge of the influence of torque direction on pinch force, allowing designers to potentially design objects operated with pinch grips to be 23 safer for certain manual, sedentary or general tasks. 14 011- ipcmmme Thermal Analysis of Staggered Pin Fin Heat Sink for Central Processing Unit Khalil Azha Mohd Annuar*1, Mohamad Firdaus Mohd Ab Halim1, Fatimah Sham Ismail2, Madiha Zahari1, Siti Halma Johari3 and Mohamad Haniff Harun1 1 Department of Electrical Engineering Technology, Faculty of Technology Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Hang Tuah Jaya, 76100 Durian Tunggal, Melaka, Malaysia 2 Centre of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Skudai, Johor,, Malaysia 3 Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering Technology, Faculty of Technology Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Hang Tuah Jaya, 76100 Durian Tunggal, Melaka, Malaysia The advancement of microelectronics technology in producing high clock speed and power density’s central processor unit (CPU) indirectly related to thermal management issue.

Ruhul Centre for Energy Sciences, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Biodiesel has been a promising clean alternative fuel to fossil fuels, which cuts the emissions that are released by fossil fuels, and perhaps reduces the energy crisis induced by the exhaustion of oil resources in the near future. Biodiesel is biodegradable, non-toxic, eco-friendly fuel, is supplanting diesel as an alternative fuel for IC engines. Previous research studies have shown that biodiesel can greatly reduce unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) 24 emissions compared to diesel fuels, but very few studies have shown a reduction in total nitrogen oxides (NOX), as well as the improvement of engine performance parameters. At present, B20 (20% biodiesel in the total fuel mix) is being used in several countries due to its material compatibility to changing weather conditions, emission benefits and costs. In this study, the effect of additives on engine performance and emission characteristics of an engine fueled with palm biodiesel was investigated and compared with conventional diesel fuel. For this study, four fuel samples including pure diesel, diesel-biodiesel (B20), diesel-biodiesel-additive (B20+additive) and pure biodiesel (B100) were used in a multi cylinder, four stroke, water cooled, direct injection diesel engine. Engine tests were performed at various engine speed of 1000 rpm to 4000 rpm with 50% throttle opening. Engine performance and emission concentrations are investigated by determining the break specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency, CO, HC, NOX and smoke opacity using gas analyzers. The results showed that the use of baynox plus solution as additive with palm methylester gave average 3.10% higher brake power as well as 23.2% and 2.40% lower NOX and brake specific fuel consumption than the biodiesel blend without additives. 16 013- ipcmmme Importance and methods of Life Long Learning to Teachers in Indian Context Dr.G.Rajaram *1, Dr.K.Kudalingam 1 2 Princioal, SKV College of Education, Paramakudi, Tamilnadu India -623707 Principal, Government Arts College, Musiri, India.- 621 211 .

Abdul khalib, 4 Rasim Azeez Kadhim 1,2,3,4 School of Computer and Communication Engineering, University Malaysia Perlis, Pauh Putra, Arau, Perlis 02600, Malaysia. 1,4 Ministry of Sciences and Technology, Baghdad, Iraq. Cloud computing is a collection of virtually massive distributed large scale computers to handle tremendous enterprise computing, hardware, storage needs. Cryptography and Steganography are two popular techniques used to generate new security system. The main principle of cryptography is the ability to change the original information into an unreadable form, while steganography hides the existence of the information. In this paper a new cloud computing data security scheme that combines cryptography and steganography techniques is proposed to enhance the security of communication over an open channel. By means of cryptography, the secret image is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Next, the Patch Reference Table Pixel Value Difference (PRT-PVD) steganography method is applied to hide the cipher image. The experimental result reveals that this method is easy to be implemented, achieve high image quality, and also highly robust to resist regular steganalysis such as the difference histogram. 27
