The Randall & Associates Ltd Process:

1. We both need a requirements specification. If you don't have one, we'll help you generate one. (No Charge)

2. We provide you with a free estimate (No Charge)

3. You decide that's great! Lets get together.

4. We visit you on site if needed and we talk to you some more about the job.

5. We provide a full written brief of the job, and if it feels right, you sign a contract to allow us to start the work.

6. Sit back and relax, knowing we're on the job!

We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion. Hegel

Did you know that?

1.) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has the ability to simulate the performance of a part or system prior to building a physical prototype. FEA has become a solution to the task of predicting failure due to unknown stresses by showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all of the theoretical stresses within. This method of product design and testing is far superior to the manufacturing costs which would accrue if each sample was actually built and tested.

2.) The most efficient and cost-effective point to begin the structural analysis of a component or a system is at the conception stage of design.

3.) Boundary conditions in a model must represent everything in the operating environment that is not explicitly modelled. Boundary conditions must never restrict or allow deformations that would not be restricted or allowed by the unmodeled parts they represent.

4.) When evaluating the stress of a part, remember that extremely localized behaviour will most likely not cause gross yielding or plastic collapse if the local area is supported by regions of lower stress on all sides.

5.) Galileo performed tensile testing.
