Materials Engineering

    Everything Is Material

When things crash, collapse or come apart, experts look to the materials that held them together.

These can be as ordinary as nuts and bolts. Or as exotic as space-age ceramics.

In discovering cause, nearly everything is material:

  • The behaviour of materials across all conditions
  • The interaction of one material with another
  • The way joins were made
  • The history of use
  • The impact of environment
  • The maintenance regimes

And a lot more.

Forensic engineering fuses cutting edge research and theory with nuts and bolts practicality. And with an ability to make the matter clear, even to the man on the street.
