- Fractures fracture and failure modes and origins
- Fatigue and other slow crack growth mechanisms
- Brittle and ductile overload failures
- Stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement failures
- Corrosion/oxidation problems
- Contamination problems
- Wear failures
- Heat treatment problems
- Design/stress related failures
- Plating problems
Additionally, we have assisted with product design, material selection, product improvement, and quality assurance programs for metal components.
Legal Consulting: Product Liability and Patent Infringement Cases
From investigating defective aircraft landing gear to determining cause of airbag failures, our engineers and scientists have been at the forefront of providing scientific expertise, data interpretation and expert testimony for hundreds of legal cases, including:
- Product defect investigations
- Determination of initiating causes of failure
- Product construction analysis and specifications
- Materials and contamination analysis
- Fire investigations
- Manufacturing/quality control issues
Our scientific expert witness team from this location includes Arun Kumar, Ph.D, Dana Medlin, Ph.D, P.E., FASM, Sya Ensha, Ph.D., Kin-Ling Sham, Ph.D., and Jim Curiel.
The Los Angeles location (formerly SEAL Laboratories) also has specialized services for the electronics and aerospace industries.
As experts in Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) of electronics components, we not only provides internal gas and water vapor content in microelectronic components, but also troubleshoots “problem” internal gasses and provide corrective actions. We support MIL-STD-883, Method 1018 and MIL-STD-750, Method 1018. Destructive physical analysis (DPA) is performed on materials used in aerospace, commercial, military, and government applications. As DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) certified for various MIL-STD testing requirements, our DPA capabilities include Fine Leak, Gross Leak, Die Shear, Bond Strength, P.I.N.D. Testing, Radiography, SEM inspection, Microsectioning, and DLA Certified RGA Testing.
