Question: ( 2 0 ) i ) the global unconstrained stiffiness matrix; Assemble ( 2 0 ) i ) the global unconstrained stiffness matrix; ( 5

(20) i) the global unconstrained stiffiness matrix; Assemble
(20) i) the global unconstrained stiffness matrix;
(5) ii) the global load vector.
Elements c, d and e are truss elements with two dofs per node (horizontal and vertical
displacements ux and uy).
Element b is a membrane with two dofs per node (horizontal and vertical displacements ux and
uy).
Element a is a frame element with three dofs per node (horizontal and vertical displacements
and uy and in-plane rotation z).
The list of nodes of each element (aka connectivities) is also given for each element. Node 1 is on a
vertical frictionless roller which allows vertical displacement and rotation of the node while node 2 is
pinned to the wall. Fill the global matrix with entries aij,bij,cij,dij and eij from the element stiffness matrices given below. Use a global displacement vector with the dofs arranged as: u={[ux1,uy1,z1,ux2,uy2,ux3,uy3,ux4,uy4,z4,ux5,uys]}T

Elements c, d and e are truss elements with two dofs per node (horizontal and vertical
displacements tex and dzy).
Element b is a membrane with two dofs per node (horizontal and vertical displacements it and
thy).
Element a is a frame element with three dofs per node (horizontal and vertical displacements ux
and try and in-plane rotation 2).
The list of nodes of each element (aka connectivities) is also given for each element. Node I is on a
vertical frictionless roller which allows vertical displacement and rotation of the node while node 2 is
pinned to the wall.
