Material Fatigue Expert Witnesses

Material fatigue is a term utilized in the field of materials science and is used to describe the weakening of materials when they are exposed to recurring loading and unloading. Microscopic cracks form when loads above a specific limit. When cracks reach an alarming size they will quickly spread, which leads the structure to rupture. Our material fatigue experts have worked as engineers, aerospace professionals, mechanics, designers, materials consultants, and more. These experts specialize in:

  • Mechanical reliability
  • Statistical fatigue
  • Characterization of materials
  • Applied probability
  • Earthquake engineering
  • Stress analysis
  • Structural engineering
  • Plated structures
  • Pipeline buckling
  • Damage analysis
  • Vibration
  • Dynamics and experimentation
  • Composite materials
With hundreds of years of combined experience, our material fatigue experts have successfully testified for both plaintiffs and defense in a variety of cases and are prolific international authors and lecturers. Their published works span topics that include material reliability, very high cycle fatigue, earthquake response, the collapse of structures, ropes chains and moorings, computational analysis, turbine blade vibration, computational modeling of aeroelasticity, fracture toughness, and damage mechanics.

Here are a few of our favorite Material Fatigue Expert Witnesses:

I have 22 years of experience and specialize in the field of mechanics of materials, with specific knowledge of reliability, fracture analysis and damage analysis. I have published on such topics as mechanics of materials, fracture of various materials and computational analysis.

 

I have 35 years of experience, and specialize in the field of structural engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of plated structures, wire and fiber rope and chains and pipeline buckling. I have published on such topics as structural analysis and design, ropes chains and moorings and failure due to fatigue and buckling. I have testified on structural failure due to buckling, structural design and fabrication to United Kingdom and United States standards and practice.I worked on pipeline buckling in the early 1980’s.

 

I have 10 years of experience and specialize in the field of structural engineering, with specific knowledge of fracture and fatigue mechanics, stress analysis and earthquake engineering. I have published on such topics as fracture and fatigue mechanics, collapse of structures and earthquake response of structures.

 

I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of applied probability and statistics, with specific knowledge in the areas of statistical characterization of materials, statistical fatigue and fracture and mechanical reliability. I have published on such topics as aging aircraft, very high cycle fatigue and composites material reliability. I have testified on statistical sampling plans, statistical materials characterization and life cycle management.

 

I have 57 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of pressure vessels, piping and transport tanks and vessels. I have published on such topics as transport tanks, remaining safe life, fracture toughness and nuclear equipment. I have testified 15 times on topics such as underground piping, ore unloaders, ore crushing machinery and underground fuel systems.

 

I have 17 years of experience, and specialize in the field of dynamics with specific knowledge in the areas of vibration, dynamics and experimentation. I have published on such topics as turbine blade vibration, computational modeling of aeroelasticity and nonlinear model identification. I have testified on wheelchair dynamics, ADA and vehicle component failure. In my first case, I noted critical flaws of the other expert’s analysis and testing. Considered national experts in the field, their lack of understanding of major impacts of subtle detail on dynamics lead to a very fast settlement out of court a day after the review…
