This document is a comprehensive examination for a Finite Element Methods course. It contains 4 questions regarding finite element analysis of different structures. Question 1 involves determining interface temperatures and heat flux through a composite wall using 3 finite elements. Question 2 is to determine nodal displacements, slopes, internal forces, and reactions for 2 beams. Question 3(a) requires obtaining the strain-displacement relation matrix and determining strains for a triangular element. Question 3(b) is to determine equivalent point loads for an axisymmetric pressure loading. Question 4 asks to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes for a stepped bar using given properties.

Q.1. For the composite wall shown in Fig. 1, determine the interface temperatures. What is the
heat flux through the 8-cm portion? Use the finite element method. Use three elements
with the nodes shown. 1 cm = 0.01 m. Assume unit area. [10]

each element, and the reactions. [10]

matrix B and determine the strains εx, εy, and γxy.

Q.3 (b) For the axisymmetric pressure loading shown in Fig. 4 determine the equivalent point
loads F1, F2, F3, F4, F7, and F8. [10]

Q.4. Determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the stepped bar shown in Fig. 5.
Take density as 7850 kg/m3 and E = 200 GPa. [10]
