     Number of displacement polynomials used for an element depends on

    • Nature of element

    • Type of an element

    • Degrees of freedom

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Degrees of freedom
    Explanation
    The number of displacement polynomials used for an element depends on the degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent variables or parameters that can be varied in a system. In the context of structural analysis, degrees of freedom represent the number of possible translations and rotations that a structural element can undergo. The displacement polynomials are mathematical functions used to represent the displacement of the element in terms of these degrees of freedom. Therefore, the correct answer is degrees of freedom.

    Based on which parameter an polynomial function can be chosen________________

    • Nodes

    • Nodal points

    • Nodal displacements

    • Elements

    Correct Answer
    A. Nodal displacements
    Explanation
    Polynomial functions are commonly used to approximate the behavior of a system or function. In the context of finite element analysis, nodal displacements are used as parameters to determine the polynomial function that best represents the behavior of the system. By considering the displacements at specific nodes, the polynomial function can accurately describe the deformation and behavior of the system. Therefore, nodal displacements are the appropriate parameter for choosing a polynomial function in this context.

    The higher order elements are also called as

    • Complex elements

    • Compound element

    • Linear element

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Complex elements
    Explanation
    Higher order elements are also known as complex elements because they have more than one node and more than two elements. These elements are used to model complex behaviors in circuits or systems, such as capacitance, inductance, and non-linear components. Unlike linear elements, which have a linear relationship between voltage and current, complex elements exhibit non-linear behavior and require more complex mathematical models for analysis and simulation. Therefore, the term "complex elements" accurately describes these higher order elements.

    FEM cant produce exact results as those of…………methods

    • Analytical

    • Logical

    • Theoretical

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    Finite Element Method (FEM) is a numerical technique used to approximate solutions to complex engineering problems. It is based on dividing the problem domain into smaller elements and solving them individually. However, FEM cannot produce exact results like analytical, logical, and theoretical methods. Analytical methods involve solving equations using mathematical formulas, logical methods use logical reasoning to solve problems, and theoretical methods are based on theoretical principles. FEM is an approximation method that introduces errors due to discretization and simplifications, making it unable to produce exact results like these other methods.

    Heat transfer takes place due to ________________

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • Radiation

    • ∆T

    Correct Answer
    A. ∆T
    Explanation
    Heat transfer takes place due to a temperature difference (∆T) between two objects or regions. When there is a difference in temperature, heat energy flows from the hotter object/region to the colder one, resulting in heat transfer. This transfer can occur through various mechanisms such as conduction, convection, and radiation. However, ∆T is the driving force behind heat transfer, as it determines the direction and rate of heat flow.

    Axis-Symmetric element is______________Element

    • 1D

    • 2D

    • 3D

    • 4D

    Correct Answer
    A. 2D
    Explanation
    An axis-symmetric element is a type of element that possesses symmetry around an axis. This means that the element can be rotated around the axis and still maintain its shape and properties. In the case of a 2D element, it is assumed that the element is infinitely thin in one dimension, and the axis of symmetry lies along the thickness direction. This allows for simplifications in analysis and calculations, as the problem can be reduced to a 2D plane. Therefore, the correct answer is 2D.

    Based on which parameter an polynomial function can be chosen________________

    • Nodes

    • Nodal points

    • Nodal displacements

    • Elements

    Correct Answer
    A. Nodal displacements
    Explanation
    Polynomial functions can be chosen based on nodal displacements. Nodal displacements refer to the movement or displacement of the nodes in a system or structure. In the context of polynomial functions, nodal displacements are used to determine the shape and behavior of the function. By analyzing the displacements at specific nodes, one can choose a suitable polynomial function that accurately represents the desired behavior or pattern of the system. Therefore, nodal displacements serve as a parameter for selecting the appropriate polynomial function.

    Heat transfer takes place between solid to liquid is known as____________

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • Radiation

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Convection
    Explanation
    Convection is the correct answer because it refers to the heat transfer that occurs between a solid and a liquid. Convection involves the movement of heat through the bulk movement of the liquid molecules. This can happen through the process of convection currents, where warmer molecules rise and cooler molecules sink, creating a continuous flow of heat transfer. Conduction, on the other hand, refers to heat transfer within a solid or between solids in direct contact, while radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

    The displacement function for 1-D ,two node linear element in terms of shape function will be

    • U = N1u2 + N2u1

    • U = N2 u1 + N1u2

    • U = N1u1+N2u2

    • U = N1u1+N1u2

    Correct Answer
    A. U = N1u1+N2u2
    Explanation
    The given displacement function represents the displacement of a 1-D, two node linear element in terms of the shape function. The shape function N1 represents the displacement at node 1, and the shape function N2 represents the displacement at node 2. Therefore, the correct answer is u = N1u1 + N2u2, which means that the displacement of the element is a linear combination of the displacements at node 1 and node 2, weighted by the respective shape functions N1 and N2.

    • [D]T [D][B]At

    • [B]T [D][L] 2Ï€rt

    • [B]T [D][B]At

    Correct Answer
    A. [B]T [D][B]2Ï€rt
    Explanation
    The given answer [B]T [D][B]2Ï€rt is the correct explanation for the stiffness matrix for axisymmetric elements. The stiffness matrix represents the relationship between the applied forces and resulting displacements in a structure. In axisymmetric elements, the stiffness matrix is determined by the geometric properties of the element, such as the radius (r) and thickness (t), as well as the material properties represented by the matrix [D]. The transpose of the shape function matrix [B]T is multiplied by the material and geometric matrices to obtain the stiffness matrix. The inclusion of 2Ï€rt in the answer indicates the contribution of the element's geometry to the stiffness.

    Correct Answer
    A. Irregular
    Explanation
    Iso-parametric elements are irregular elements. These elements are used in finite element analysis to model complex geometries with curved boundaries. Unlike regular elements, which have straight sides, iso-parametric elements have curved sides that match the shape of the boundary. This allows for more accurate representation of the geometry and better approximation of the solution. Therefore, the correct answer is irregular.
