Factors such as elasticity, plasticity, and fracture mechanics are considered.
Examples include calculating the maximum weight a bridge can support or designing a building to withstand earthquakes.
Testing methods such as tensile testing and compre...
A stress diagram shows the distribution of stress in a structure or component.
Stress diagrams are typically drawn using a graphical method, such as the Mohr's circle.
They can be used to determine the maximum stress and the location of stress concentrations.
Stress diagrams can also be used to analyze the effects of loads on a structure or component.
They are commonly used in engineering and mechanics to design and test s...
Maximum stress occurs at the point where the force is applied or concentrated.
Maximum stress occurs at the point of highest force concentration.
It can also occur at points of sudden change in geometry or material properties.
Examples include corners, edges, and holes in a structure.
Stress concentration factors can be calculated to determine the maximum stress.
Proper design and material selection can help minimize stress
Heat treatments like annealing, tempering, and stress relieving can lower stresses in materials.
Annealing involves heating the material to a high temperature and then slowly cooling it to reduce internal stresses.
Tempering involves heating the material to a specific temperature and then cooling it quickly to reduce stresses.
Stress relieving involves heating the material to a specific temperature and then cooling it slo...
Probability of fracture in rod depends on various factors such as material, stress, and manufacturing process.
The material of the rod plays a crucial role in determining its fracture probability.
Higher stress levels increase the probability of fracture.
The manufacturing process can also affect the probability of fracture.
Factors such as temperature, corrosion, and fatigue can also impact the probability of fracture.

The most harmful gas emission is carbon dioxide (CO2).
CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change.
It is released by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.
Other harmful emissions include sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM).
I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.
The weight of plates can be calculated by multiplying the density of the material by the volume of the plate.
Determine the density of the material the plate is made of (e.g. steel has a density of 7850 kg/m^3)
Measure the dimensions of the plate (length, width, thickness)
Calculate the volume of the plate using the formula: volume = length x width x thickness
Multiply the volume by the density to get the weight of the pla
There are various types of mechanical tools used in construction and maintenance work.
Hand tools (e.g. hammer, screwdriver, wrench)
Power tools (e.g. drill, saw, grinder)
Heavy equipment (e.g. excavator, bulldozer, crane)
Measuring tools (e.g. tape measure, level, calipers)
There are mainly three types of beams: Simply supported beam, Cantilever beam, and Overhanging beam.
Simply supported beam is supported at both ends and carries load in the middle.
Cantilever beam is supported at one end and carries load at the other end.
Overhanging beam has one or both ends extending beyond its supports.
There are several types of flanges used in piping systems for connecting pipes, valves, and other equipment.
Weld Neck Flange
Slip On Flange
Socket Weld Flange
Threaded Flange
Blind Flange
Lap Joint Flange
Orifice Flange

To look for a short circuit, check for any abnormal connections or damaged wires causing a direct path for current flow.
Inspect all wiring and connections for signs of damage or wear
Use a multimeter to test for continuity and resistance in the circuit
Look for any burnt or melted components indicating a short circuit
Check for any loose connections or exposed wires that could be causing a short circuit
Casting solidification time is the duration it takes for molten metal to solidify in a casting process.
Casting solidification time depends on factors like material type, mold temperature, and casting geometry.
Higher pouring temperatures generally result in shorter solidification times.
Thicker sections of the casting will take longer to solidify compared to thinner sections.
Aluminum alloys typically have shorter solidif
Casting design considerations include material selection, part geometry, draft angles, surface finish, and shrinkage.
Material selection is crucial for the desired properties and performance of the final part.
Part geometry should be designed to minimize stress concentrations and ensure proper flow of molten metal.
Draft angles are necessary for easy removal of the part from the mold.
Surface finish requirements should be ...

A turbocharger is a device that increases the efficiency and power output of an internal combustion engine by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber.
Turbochargers use exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor to force more air into the engine.
This extra air allows more fuel to be burned, resulting in increased power output without the need for a larger engine.
Turbochargers are commonly u...
