Forensic Materials Engineering

Forensic Materials Engineering is a science that deals with examining and understanding the physical and chemical properties of materials or components that have been damaged or deteriorated due to natural, accidental or intentional causes. Its primary focus is the identification and analysis of the causes of failure in materials or products. Forensic Materials Engineering helps in the investigation and resolution of legal claims, product liability cases and hazardous material incidents. It is also used for the forensic examination of fires, explosions and vehicle collisions. This knowledge is essential in protecting public safety and providing justice in cases where materials have failed and casualties have resulted.
