The document provides instructions for a finite element analysis assignment due on March 18th, 2016. It includes a diagram of an aluminum strap carrying a 1800N load, with dimensions of 10 cm length, 2 cm widths on each end, and 8 cm in the middle. Students are asked to use the direct formulation method to determine the deflections and average normal stresses along the strap.
