Roll No.: - Signature of Invigilator: - Srikalahasteeswara Institute of Technology, Srikalahasthi

The document appears to be an exam for a class covering the fundamentals of the finite element method (FEM). It contains 20 multiple choice questions testing key FEM concepts like the definitions of elements, nodes, and field variables. It also includes 5 descriptive questions asking students to explain the general FEA procedure, derive element expressions, calculate displacements, and describe stress/strain components and stiffness matrices.
