FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS  What are the different types of boundary conditions in finite element analysis? Provide examples of each.  Define the finite element method (FEM). How is it applied in solving engineering problems?  What is a node or joint in the context of finite element analysis? Explain its role in the formation of the element matrix.  Write the general finite element equation used to solve problems in structural analysis.  Explain the concept of global coordinates in finite element analysis.  What are CST and LST elements in finite element modeling? How do they differ?  Write the stiffness matrix equation for a two-dimensional CST element in finite element analysis.  What is meant by discretization in the finite element method? Provide an example of its application.  Using the direct stiffness matrix approach, determine the stiffness matrix for: (a) A bar element, (b) A truss element  Write a short note on Galerkin's method. Explain its significance in finite element analysis.
