How does a sorting algorithm work? A Sorting Algorithm is used to rearrange a given array or list elements according to a comparison operator on the elements. The comparison operator is used to decide the new order of element in the respective data structure. For example: The below list of characters is sorted in increasing […]
How do you find the steady state value of a transfer function?
How do you find the steady state value of a transfer function? System steady-state gain can be computed by substituting s=0 into a transfer function. 2. The steady-state gain of a loop can be computed by substituting s=0 into a closed-loop transfer function. What is the steady state response? The steady-state response (or forced response) […]
What is ductile and brittle fracture?
What is ductile and brittle fracture? Brittle fracture means fracture of material without plastic deformation or with very small plastic deformation before fracture. Ductile fracture means fracture of material with large plastic deformation before fracture. Fracture of soft steel and other soft metals, rubber, and plastics is ductile fracture. What are the three stages of […]
Why is reliability important in engineering?
Why is reliability important in engineering? The objectives of reliability engineering, in decreasing order of priority, are: To apply engineering knowledge and specialist techniques to prevent or to reduce the likelihood or frequency of failures. To identify and correct the causes of failures that do occur despite the efforts to prevent them. What is the […]
What machines use pulleys?
What machines use pulleys? Examples of pulleys include: Elevators use multiple pulleys in order to function. A cargo lift system that allows for items to be hoisted to higher floors is a pulley system. Wells use the pulley system to hoist the bucket out of the well. Many types of exercise equipment use pulleys in […]
What contains a charge coupled device?
What contains a charge coupled device? A charge-coupled device (CCD) is an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to a neighboring capacitor. CCD sensors are a major technology used in digital imaging. What are CCD cameras used […]
What are the steps in a municipal wastewater treatment plant?
What are the steps in a municipal wastewater treatment plant? They typically consist of several steps in the treatment process. These include: (1) Collection ; (2) Screening and Straining ; (3) Chemical Addition ; (4) Coagulation and Flocculation ; (5) Sedimentation and Clarification ; (6) Filtration ; (7) Disinfection ; (8) Storage ; (9) and […]
How do you predict machine failure?
How do you predict machine failure? Using predictive models, one can now estimate failure probability. This gives us two abilities. First, the ability to plan maintenance in a manner to minimize loss. Second, to optimize inventory better. What are the three predictive maintenance? There are three main areas of your organization that factor into predictive […]
What is reverse bending?
What is reverse bending? Reverse curve bending is where a steel section is curved to a radius in one direction and then is curved to a radius in the opposite direction. One example of our reversed curved beam bending projects is the Ratner Athletic Center at the University of Chicago. What causes metal fatigue? Metal […]
