Strength Analysis of Welded Joints on Railway Bogie Side Frame with Welding Current Variations Using the Finite Element Method

Ojo Kurdi Achmad Widodo Toni Prahasto Muhammad Rizky Hidayat

Volume 3, Issue 5, Pages 1-9, May 2026

The quality of welded joints on railway bogie side frames is a critical factor in ensuring the structural integrity and operational safety of rail vehicles. This study investigates the effect of welding current variations on the mechanical strength of butt-joint welds on SM490 steel, which is widely used in bogie frame fabrication. Welding was performed using the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis of Radial Gate Arm Buckling under Hydrostatic Loading Using One-Way FSI

Ojo Kurdi Berkah Fajar TK Dwi Basuki Wibowo Khoiri Rozi Zaki Ahmad Fitriawan

Volume 3, Issue 5, Pages 10-16, May 2026

Radial gates are critical hydraulic structures used in spillway systems to regulate water discharge under various operational conditions. The radial arm functions as the primary compression member responsible for transferring hydrostatic loads from the gate leaf toward the trunnion support. Due to its slender structural configuration, the radial arm is vulnerable to instability failure in the... Read More

Blockchain-Driven Digital Certification System to Enhance Refugee Access to Essential Services

Y. Mohan Das, U. Laxmi Chaitanya N. Naga Sai Shalini

Volume 3, Issue 5, Pages 25-31, May 2026

The increasing global refugee crisis has resulted in large-scale displacement, creating significant challenges in accessing essential services such as education, healthcare, and employment due to the lack of secure and reliable identity verification. Conventional certificate management systems are vulnerable to forgery, document loss, and limited accessibility, reducing their effectiveness in... Read More

A Secure Digital Forensic Framework for Text Evidence Authentication and Integrity Validation

M Vardhan B Kartheek B Jaya Prakash

Volume 3, Issue 5, Pages 32-39, May 2026

Digital forensics has become a fundamental component of cybercrime investigations, where digital text evidence, including emails, chat records, documents, and system logs, plays a crucial role in identifying and prosecuting malicious activities. Preserving the authenticity and integrity of such evidence is essential, as even slight modifications can compromise forensic analysis and affect leg... Read More
