1) The document discusses various questions related to the finite element method and analysis. It includes questions on determining stresses and displacements in a bar element, principle of minimum potential energy, derivation of shape functions, consistent nodal load vector, Gauss quadrature, advantages and disadvantages of finite element method, Hermite shape functions, and short notes on C0, C1 and C2 functions, node numbering, serendipity elements, and patch tests.
2) The questions cover topics like derivation of shape functions, evaluation of shape functions, consistent nodal load vector, Gauss quadrature, Hermite shape functions, and flexibility and stiffness methods. Mathematical relations involving [K], [f], [a] are also given
