Aker Solutions Interview Questions and Answers

Static analysis deals with loads that do not change over time, while dynamic analysis considers loads that vary with time.

• Static analysis is used to determine the effects of loads that do not change over time, such as dead loads and live loads.

• Dynamic analysis considers loads that vary with time, such as wind loads, seismic loads, and vibrations.

• Static analysis is simpler and less computationally intensive compared to ...read more

Spectral fatigue analysis is performed by calculating the stress response of a structure to dynamic loads over a range of frequencies.

• Determine the dynamic loads acting on the structure

• Calculate the stress response of the structure using spectral methods

• Analyze the stress response at different frequencies to assess fatigue damage

• Consider factors such as material properties, load history, and environmental conditions

• Use...read more

Duplex stainless steels are used in various applications due to their high strength and corrosion resistance.

• Used in chemical processing industries for handling corrosive materials

• Commonly used in oil and gas industry for pipelines and offshore platforms

• Used in pulp and paper industry for equipment like digesters and bleach washers

• Applications in desalination plants for seawater intake systems

Flashing and cavitation can cause damage and performance issues in control valves, affecting system efficiency and reliability.

• Flashing occurs when liquid turns to vapor due to pressure drop, leading to reduced flow and potential valve damage.

• Cavitation is the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid, causing shock waves that can erode valve components.

• Both phenomena can lead to increased noise and vibration...read more

Field instruments measure flow, level, pressure, and temperature in various industrial applications.
