Forensic Investigation & Expert Witness Services
Service details
When a failure has consequences (litigation, an insurance claim, a safety question that has to be answered correctly), the engineering has to hold up under cross-examination.
What this service is
The investigation of how and why a component, structure, or system failed. Scienalysis establishes the failure mechanism on the physical evidence (across gas explosions and blast events, pressure-driven and structural failures, rotating-machinery and equipment failures, injury biomechanics, and materials and fracture analysis) and reports it in terms a court, carrier, or board can rely on.
How Scienalysis does the work
Engagements open with intake and a conflict check, then move to review of the available evidence and, where warranted, physical inspection and testing. Scienalysis then establishes the mechanism through first-principles analysis and, where the matter requires it, finite element analysis, explicit-dynamics and hydrocode simulation, fluid–structure interaction, and fractographic examination. Finally, conclusions are framed to the standard that governs expert work: reliable method, sufficient data, and reasoning defensible step by step.
Attorneys and law firms; insurance carriers and Special Investigations Unit (SIU); institutional clients needing an independent, defensible account of a failure.
A retained professional engagement rather than a venue for free preliminary opinions or strategy formation outside a formal relationship.
