Introduces the science, methodology, and engineering principles involved in the diagnosis of some common types of accidents and failures, such as fires, explosions, automobile accidents, storm damage, industrial accidents, slips and falls, arson, and water pipe damage. This book is suitable for lawyers, insurance investigators, and engineers.

Demonstrates how professional forensic engineers apply basic concepts and principles from engineering and scientific disciplines to analyze fires and explosions. This book presents an introduction to the multidisciplinary subject of fire and explosion analysis and its legal ramifications.

Demonstrates the application of engineering skills, methods, and judgment to analyzing vehicular accidents. This book offers a definition of vehicular accident reconstruction and its role in the legal system. It shows how to select the best methods of analysis for a given accident reconstruction.

A compendium of the investigative methods used to evaluate 21 of the more common types of failures and catastrophic events. It offers a discussion of the scientific method as it applies to forensic science and provides tips on organizing and writing an investigative report. It also discusses the applicable codes and standards of the profession.

Focusing on forensic engineering, this title explains how scientific investigative methods can best be used to determine why and how a particular failure occurred. Using principles and ideas that are applicable to most of the forensic sciences, it examines the role of the failure investigator and discusses the optimal way to organize evidence.
