Fracture Expert Witnesses

Fracture is the term applied to the separation of an object into multiple pieces through the application of stress. Fractures can be found in different job fields. In Science, a fracture is a separation in a geologic formation, such as joints and faults in that splits rock into two or more pieces or causes a deep gap or opening in rock. A fracture in the medical field is a break in bone or cartilage from trauma, osteoporosis and congenital bone diseases, such as osteogeneses imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. Fractures to the Engineering field refer to materials that crack or break caused by a disconnection of molecular bonds. Brittle fractures are the sudden and rapid cracking of equipment under stress, glass, ceramics, some metals, and polymers. Our fracture experts have worked as mechanical engineers, failure analysts, civil engineers, structural engineers, professors, and more. These experts specialize in:

  • Mechanical behavior
  • Fatigue
  • Materials engineering
  • Metallurgy
  • Failure analysis
  • Materials science
  • Structural behavior
  • Electron microscopy
  • Mechanical reliability
  • Statistical fatigue
  • Mechanical characterization
  • Earthquake engineering
  • Stress analysis
  • Fracture Analysis
  • Fracture of brittle materials
  • Biomechanics
With hundreds of years of combined experience, our fracture experts have successfully testified for both plaintiffs and defense in a variety of cases and are prolific international authors and lecturers. Their published works span topics that include patented components, diversity in engineering, piezoelectricity, mechanical properties of materials, computational engineering, concrete, intermetallic compounds, very high cycle fatigue, composites material reliability, structure and properties of commercial plastics, aging remnant life analysis, and stress corrosion.
