Real-World Experience For Confident Cause Identification
When a “mechanical system” fails… the size and scope of the elements that warrant assessment are extensive. This area of forensics involves an expert comprehension of mechanical systems, mechanical design, physics, material science, production process automation and safety regulations.
A mechanic forensic expert determining causation of a mechanical failure needs to not only analyze the circumstances and specifics of the failed machine and its components but must also comprehend how that machine integrates and behaves within our human environment.
These failures can range from mechanical product failures that damage property, cause personal injury, result in a fire, or result in water loss.
