This document contains a weekly test question bank for a finite element analysis course. It includes 5 multiple choice questions in Part A covering properties of stiffness matrices, coordinate systems used in FEM, shape functions and their properties, expressions for shape functions of 1D bar elements, and the definition of higher order elements with an example. Part B contains 2 longer form questions - the first asks to derive the stiffness matrix and shape functions for a bar element, and the second presents a problem to determine nodal displacements of a bar under an applied axial force.
