Question

By element stiffness matrix we can get relation of members in an object in _____

(a) Different matrices

(b) One matrix

(c) Identity matrix

(d) Singular matrix

I had been asked this question in an online interview.

Query is from One Dimensional Problems in chapter One Dimensional Problems of Finite Element Method

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) One matrix

For explanation: Element stiffness matrix method is that make use of the members of stiffness relations for computing member forces and displacement in structures. So by this element stiffness matrix method we can get relation of members in an object in one matrix.
