UCAM PED Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

The procedure for wind calculation as per IS code involves determining the design wind speed, selecting the appropriate terrain category, and calculating the wind pressure.

• Determine the design wind speed based on the location and height of the structure.

• Select the appropriate terrain category (rural, urban, etc.) as per IS code guidelines.

• Calculate the wind pressure using the formula provided in the IS code.

• Consider fa...read more

A STAAD model for a fixed pole is a structural analysis and design model used to determine the stability and strength of a pole that is fixed in place.

• In a STAAD model for a fixed pole, the pole is typically modeled as a vertical member with fixed supports at the base.

• The model considers factors such as wind loads, dead loads, and any other relevant loads that may act on the pole.

• The analysis helps in determining the s...read more

Key considerations in designing a square base plate

• Ensure the base plate is large enough to support the load without excessive deflection

• Select appropriate material and thickness to meet structural requirements

• Consider the connection details for attaching the base plate to the structure

• Account for any potential corrosion or environmental factors that may affect the base plate

• Include provisions for anchor bolts or other...read more

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a measure of how well a manufacturing process is performing.

• OEE is calculated by multiplying availability, performance, and quality rates.

• It helps identify areas for improvement in production processes.

• Example: If a machine has an availability of 90%, performance of 95%, and quality of 98%, the OEE would be 83.7%.

Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit.

• Current is measured in Amperes (A).

• It is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor.

• Current can be either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).

Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

• Voltage is the force that pushes electric current through a circuit

• It is measured in volts (V)

• Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit

• Higher voltage means more potential energy available to move electrons

• Examples: 120V in household outlets, 12V in car batteries

GD&T stands for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances on drawings.

• GD&T is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings to specify the allowable variations in form, size, and orientation of features.

• It uses symbols, such as squares, circles, and triangles, to define the tolerance zones for features on a part.

• GD&T helps ensure that parts are manufacture...read more
