Question: ( 2 0 points ) The mesh and boundary conditions below are for a 2 - D elastostatics problem. Following the method given in section

(20 points) The mesh and boundary conditions below are for a 2-D elastostatics problem. Following the method given in section 2.7 of the class notes, determine the NodeType matrix, NodeLabel matrix and G vector for the mesh shown below subjected to the following essential boundary conditions: The vertical edge (nodes 1,2) can not move in either direction (both components of the displacement are equal to zero). The horizontal edge (nodes 9,10) has a prescribed vertical displacement of 0.05. Nodes are marked with a solid circle (there are 8 corner nodes and 2 edge nodes). Element numbers are circled.
Given the following element connectivity (order of nodes for the elements):
Element 1, nodes 10,9,7,8
Element 2, nodes 8,7,5
Element 3, nodes 8,5,6
Element 4, nodes 2,6,5,1,4,3
Determine the EleDofType matrix and EleDofLabel matrix for the 4 elements. For each term in the element stifness matrix for element 1, indicate the corresponding location in the global stiffness matrix, or force vector, in the global system to which it will contribute.
