Particularly, <strong>di</strong>splacements are imposed to all the nodes ofthe upper face, while the bottom nodes are restrained in the y− <strong>di</strong>rection. Moreover,the bottom left node is restrained against horizontal <strong>di</strong>splacement. Nodes at left andright sides are free of any constraint. At last, 2-D plane stress con<strong>di</strong>tions are considered135
