25. Differentiate between global and local axes.
Local axes are established in an element. Since it is in the element level, they
change with the change in orientation of the element. The direction differs from
element to element.
Global axes are defined for the entire system. They are same in direction for all
the elements even though the elements are differently oriented.

What is truss?
A truss is defined as a structure made up of several bars, riveted or welded
together.
49.
States the assumption are made while finding the forces in a truss.
All the members are pin jointed.
The truss is loaded only at the joint
The self weight of the members is neglected unless stated.

UNIT IV
1. What do you meant by Dynamic analysis?
When the inertia effect due to the mass of the components is also considered in
addition to the externally applied load, then the analysis is called dynamic
analysis.
2. Specify the consistent mass matrix for a beam element.
1. Write down the stiffness matrix equation for one dimensional heat conduction
element?
2. Define Streamline.
A Streamline is an imaginary line that connects a series of points in space at a
given instant in such a manner that all particles falling on the line at that
instant have velocities whose vectors are target to the line.
3. Distinguish between homogeneous and non- homogeneous boundary
conditions.
4. Define the stream function for a one Dimensional incompressible flow.
5. Mention two natural boundary conditions as applied to thermal problems.
6. List the method of describing the motion of fluid.
7. Write down the governing differential equation for a two dimensional steadystate heat transfer problem.
8. List the application of potential flow.
9. Write down the governing equation for two dimensional steady state heat
conduction.
