Failure Analysis and Accident Investigation
Forensics engineering to identify the root cause(s) of failure and accident
Determine The Root Causes of Product and Material Failure, Provide Preventive Measures
Failure Analysis or Forensics Analysis is often required when a product or material fail, because it can analyze and identify the root causes of accident that happen duel to material defects, manufacturing error, design flaws, overloading or environmental effects.
When the accident or failure happen, always there are questions that need to be answered
- What has caused the failure?
- How serious is the defect?
- Can the problem be fixed?
- Who should be responsible for the accident?
- How to avoid the failure in future?
