Full Description
Principles and Practice of Forensic Mechanical Engineering explains the physical processes and causes of failures that result in physical or bodily damage. It discusses the nature of defects and defines the three types - design defects, manufacturing defects and service defects - with supporting examples of each.
Drawing on the author's decades of experience, the book advises mechanical engineers how to investigate an incident, evaluate responsibility, and prepare a report of the results. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects of physics or chemistry, readers will learn how physical and chemical principles can be applied to real-world cases. Numerous examples and case studies are included, emphasizing the need for not only technical knowledge but also creativity and thinking outside the box to resolve challenging cases.
This book supplies essential knowledge about forensic procedures to help mechanical engineers become involved in and efficiently practice forensics.
