Summary
Most books on forensic engineering focus on civil engineering failures rather than consumer or general mechanical products. Unique both in scope and style, this treatment is built upon case studies of real accidents, broadly focused on consumer products, and dedicated to problem solving through scientific principles. Each case study includes legal background, case results, and lessons learned from the case. New materials and applications appear constantly, and with them, new failure modes. Forensic Materials Engineering: Case Studies provides an outstanding opportunity to gain virtual experience through facts and feedback from forensic engineering practitioners.
