Analisis Statik Struktur Kapal Tanpa Awak Untuk Distribusi Pakan Ikan Nila

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the structural strength of an unmanned boat made of balsa wood under various loading conditions using the static analysis method based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Balsa wood was selected due to its low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for lightweight structures such as feed carrier vessels. The simulation was conducted under three load variations of 19.62 N, 78.48 N, and 98.1 N to determine the distribution of Von Mises stress, displacement, and safety factor. The results show maximum stress values of 0.001 MPa, 0.003 MPa, and 0.004 MPa, all of which are far below the balsa wood yield strength of 10 MPa. The displacement for all load variations was 0 mm, indicating negligible deformation. The safety factor decreased from 13.595 to 2.719 with increasing loads but remained within a safe range. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the unmanned boat structure made of balsa wood can withstand loads up to 98.1 N safely and maintain structural stability without failure.
