I have conducted
over 500 forensic failure and accident investigations involving
machinery,
vehicles, boats, structures, tools, appliances, furniture
and plumbing, made of metals, glass and plastic materials.
Failures were discovered to have resulted from defects
in the engineering design, manufacturing, weathering deterioration,
corrosion and utilization. I specialize in engineering
analyses
required to to discover origins of failures and to determine
if failures caused accidents or resulted from accidents.
