Materials Testing, Materials Engineering, Consulting, Failure Analysis - Services :Failure Analysis, Forensic Engineering Materials Engineering, Consulting

Failure Analysis, Materials Engineering & Expert Witness Services

We combine our materials testing and materials engineering knowledge to determine how and why a product, device, component or structure has failed. Whether related to field service failures or in-house production problems, we use our understanding of materials testing along with our engineering expertise to identify failure modes and mechanisms, to perform root cause failure analysis, and to provide corrective action recommendations.

Our experts and engineers utilize their knowledge of metallurgy, materials science, and mechanical engineering to perform finite element analysis when applicable. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be used to develop computer modeling that will help us to determine failure related phenomenon such as stress and strain, deflection, thermal expansion, reaction to temperature, elastic and plastic deformation and other related mechanical forces.

Our multidisciplinary testing and consulting services are ideally suited to meet the diverse needs required for litigation, insurance, and materials engineering challenges and we provide cost-effective lab services to suit your needs.
