Failure Analysis
Failures contribute to many transportation incidents. An unexpected failure can leave a driver to lose control of the vehicle or it can lead to increasing the severity of an incident. Understanding the complexities of failure is one of our specialties which draws out our most inquisitive selves. as vehicles become more advanced and more complex, failures happen more frequently. It can be the failure of a passive safety system or the failure of a vehicle component. Whichever it is, we have the expertise and knowledge to help understand what occurred.
Expert Testimony
Displaying and communicating the intricacies of failure analysis at the time of trial is the most important aspect of our work. We strive to keep oratory skills as our most fundamental skill so we can convey the science of forensics to everyone.
Overview of Services
Tire Failure
Suspension Failure
Suspension Failure
Tires can fail and it happens quite often. Whether it's a tread separation, sidewall failure, or blowout, a tire has a plethora of reasons for a failure. We understand tire science and can help to forensically determine what the fault was that led to the failure.
Suspension Failure
Suspension Failure
Suspension Failure
Suspension systems are becoming increasingly advanced which leads to more catastrophic failures when they occur. for example, a wheel-off event which leads the wheel to travel to the other side of the road and contact a vehicle. Understanding the physics and design criteria helps us to determine where and how the failure occurred.
Driveline Failure
Suspension Failure
Driveline Failure
Gasoline, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, and hydrogen, we have the knowledge and skillset to assist in understanding how and why each of these driveline types would fail. We can also assist in the understanding of fire or explosion origination.
Brake Failure
Mechanical Component Failure
Driveline Failure
Brakes are the most important safety feature on any vehicle. From friction brakes on a passenger vehicle or tractor-trailer to a regenerative brake on an electrified vehicle, or an engine brake on a diesel powered vehicle, and many other braking types, we can assist in understanding a failure.
Airbag System Failure
Mechanical Component Failure
Mechanical Component Failure
Airbags and the components of a Supplemental Restraint System installed on any modern vehicle can fail. We can help to determine the factors that led and can help explain the reason for the failure.
Mechanical Component Failure
Mechanical Component Failure
Mechanical Component Failure
Understanding mechanical failure can be understanding one component or many. While we list a few systems that can fail here, there are many other failures that we can assist in determining the cause. Contact us today to help determine the cause of a failure.
