This research aims to compare the mechanical properties of materials made from hyacinth pineapple and sugarcane fibers and also to study the feasibility of producing automotive interior parts from natural fibers. The 9 specimens that made from natural fiber such as water hyacinth pineapple leaf fiber sugar can and husk and there are also three different binders: glue polymer and polymer plus hardener were produced. All of specimens were controlled mass and density. The specimens were classified into 2 types: 1) thin type with a size of 3.5x14x1 cm in order to test the flexibility 2) thick type with a size of 6.5x6.5x20 cm for testing the ability to absorb energy. The test results showed that the specimen produced from sugar cane and husk using adhesive bonding able to receive bending stress and modulus of elasticity more than other specimens up to 80.63% and 69.19% respectively. While the ability to absorb energy from work piece made from pineapple leaf fiber and husks using polymer bender was able to absorb energy more than other work pieces 51.58%.

Nowadays car is one of important factors for the human life whereas critical traffic dramatically effects on risk of accident between cars and pedestrians. Therefore the road accident is the enormous loss of human resources. Regarding this problems the lifted mechanism of vehicle hood was concerned and installed on the vehicle hood simulator to mitigate the severe accident in this project. To achieve this the energy absorption was established to decrease the injury of pedestrians by the gap increase between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover. This solution can increase the ability of energy absorption during an accident moment. There were 8 steps of hood gap in this study to in the experimental works indicated by Head Injury Criterion HIC from head-form. The testing program was referred by Pedestrian Protection Test Procedures in EURO NCAP. From the experimental works the increasing gap between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover tends to decrease the values of HIC. By the lowest of HIC the 4th gap is 18 cm of space representing 90.17 and 208.06 of HIC15 and HIC35 respectively. In consequence of experiment the gap between the bottom edge of hood and the engine valve cover plays a role on the HIC value in which it can mitigate the severe injury of pedestrian on accidental way whereas the lifted up mechanism of hood are ability as conjecture.

This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop ceiling board product. The mixture ratios of Gypsum plaster: oil palm fiber: tap water: catalyst are 1 : 0.15 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.20 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.25 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.30: 1: 0.03 and 1 : 0.35 : 1: 0.03 by weight. The ceiling board samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1 centimeter in dimension. The ceiling board sample testing follows the TIS 219-2552. The results show that the longitudinal and lateral breaking load Nail pull resistance density and thermal conductivity of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than ceiling board with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the deflection and water absorption of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 0.2 of ratio can pass the standard.

This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop pseudo-plywood from polyethylene product. The mixture ratios of oil palm fiber : polyethylene are 50 : 50 55 : 45 60 : 40 65 : 35 and 70 : 30 by weight. The pseudo-plywood samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1.5 centimeter in dimension. The pseudo-plywood sample testing follows the TIS 966-2547. The results show that the density bending strength modulus of elasticity thermal conductivity and tension perpendicular to surface of pseudo-plywood with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than pseudo-plywood with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the water absorption and swelling by density of pseudo-plywood with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 65 of ratio can pass the standard.

The objectives of this research are to propose an approate and efficient model for analyzing rice corn and sugar yields data. A linear mixed model (LMM) with spatial correlation following the conditional autoregressive model (CAR) was adopted. The results show that for rice yields if the amount of rainfall in a harvest season increases 1 mm the yields will decease by 25.74 tons. if the temperature in the harvest season increases 1 Celsius the yields will decease by 212.60 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 15.80 tons each year. For sugar cane yields if the amount of rainfall in the harvest season increases 1 mm the yields will decease by 51.35 tons. if the temperature in the harvest season increase 1 Celsius the yields will incease by 121.30 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 29.93.80 tons each year. For corn yield if the amount of rainfall in the havest season increases 1 mm the yields will incease by 73.45 tons. if the temperature in he havest season increases 1 celsius the yields will decease by 40.44 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 1.74 tons each year.
