Materials Expert Witnesses

Materials are substances or mixtures of substances that forms an object. They can be classified by their physical or chemical properties, geological origin or biological function. The four main classifications of materials are metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), polymers (Thermoplastics, Thermosets, and Elastomers),  ceramics (glasses, crystalline ceramics), and composites are the combination of different materials (reinforced plastics and concrete). Our materials expert witnesses, speakers, and consultants specialize in a broad array of disciplines including electrical engineering, materials science, aerospace engineering, composite structures, mechanical properties of materials, micro-electro-mechanical system's durability, and mechanical engineering, to name a few. They have published on various topics within their specific field of expertise. Our materials experts have testified on a multitude of topics for both the plaintiff and the defendant.
