Lead Mechanical Engineer Interview Questions

14,848 lead mechanical engineer interview questions shared by candidates

1)How to reduce column beam deflection. 2)Would a column beam resist more deflection if its ends were pinned or on rollers? 3)Where would a cantilever beam experience the most shear force and moment? 4)What shape would you make the beam out of, and why? 5)What would you want to make these beams out of and why? Specific to my experience: How do you analyze a satellite camera's vibrations in space? How would you model it? What is the natural frequency of something? What is the difference between a circuit in parallel and in series?

You have to optimize the natural frequency of a cantilever beam. For a constant mass, choose between steel and aluminum. keep in mind if something has less density, you can have greater volume, how does this change your answer?
