Mechanical Design Expert Witnesses

Mechanical Design or mechanical drafting that create designs for mechanical devices and equipment. These designers work with engineers and other professionals to create or modify manufacturing systems or processes. Mechanical designers review design specifications given to them by engineers and project managers to develop mechanical layouts. They have a knowledge of mechanical parts, computer-aided design (CAD) software, such as AutoCAD. When materials and specifications are determined, Mechanical Designers use CAD software to plan and develop models of devices and equipment. Testing and modifications of models under different conditions may also be part of the mechanical design process. The application of principals associated with engineering mathematics, materials science, and engineering physics to the design and manufacturing of mechanical systems is known as mechanical design. This specialty is one of the broadest disciplines within the realm of engineering, with professionals that can speak on topics associated with several common lawsuits. Our mechanical design experts have worked as engineers, robotics professionals, mechanical designers, failure analysts, HVAC professionals, heavy equipment designers, to name a few. With hundreds of years of combined experience, our mechanical design 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 forklift truck safety, engineering design, pump vibration, bearing design, engineering education, robotic operational software, prototype development projects, trash trucks, and damage assessment.

Here are a few of our favorite Mechanical Design Expert Witnesses:

I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of product design, fracture and fatigue failures and vehicle mechanics. I have published on such topics as damage assessment, design methods and materials behavior. I have testified 10 times on topics such as product mechanical failure, rear collision and car rollover. I provided consulting services to U.S. Department of Energy and US Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Damage assessment of nuclear power plant components and nuclear waste transportation casks for ten years. I serve on committees of Codes and Standards for…

 

I have 40 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of hydraulics, truck body design and machine design. I have published on such topics as auto lifts and trash trucks. I have testified on prototype development projects, and tow truck component failure.

 

I have 15 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of robotics, design and safety. I have published on such topics as robotics, robotic operational software and engineering education. I have testified on patent infringement, technical equivalence and robotic systems. My first love is teaching, and my initial experience providing expert testimony reinforced the notion that experience as a teacher (at high school and university levels) is just as important outside of academia as it is in the classroom.

 

I have 35 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of vibration, mechanical design and rotating machinery. I have published on such topics as rotor dynamics, bearing design and vibration damping. I have testified on pump vibration, vibration standards. The paper I co-authored in 1985 on rotor dynamics is still the defacto standard for this type of analysis.

 

I have 11 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of mechanical design, human factors, and rehabilitation and exercise equipment. I have published on such topics as rehabilitation and exercise, and engineering design.
