Ans:- stiffness matrix is symmetric matrix which is derived from the stiffness of hookes law .it
describes stiffness Between all degrees of freedom and it is denoted by K.
Ans:- bending moment effect only contributes for internal strain energy.
Ans :- Many three dimensional solids subjected to axisymmetric loading are reduced to simple
two dimensional finite elements for analysis .thus,the two dimensional is called as axisymmetric
element.
Ans:- when the temperature and heat transfer in a system varies only in one direction, it is also
known as one- dimensional heat transfer.
Ans:- A consistent mass matrix is formed by using shape function same as that of stiffness
matrix. The term consistent implies that these models follow direct discritization of the finite
element.
