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]
Q.2. For the beams shown in Fig.2 determine the nodal displacements and slopes, the forces in each element, and the reactions. [10]
Q.3 (a) For the triangular element shown in Fig. 3, obtain the strain–displacement relation 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]
