FAILURE ANALYSIS
|
|
FORENSIC MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Broken or failed components can cause loss of production, injury
and even death; all of which result in loss of money for someone.
Who is ultimately responsible for failed components? What causes
them to fail? How can failures be avoided in the future?
ATTAR offers a forensic engineering materials
failure analysis service for the Manufacturers, Insurance Companies
and the Legal Profession in the following areas:-
- Concrete, mortar and plaster failures.
- Ceramic failures, including cracked, lifting, worn and slippery
tiles, and damaged glass.
- Blisters, porosity and cracks in fibreglass pools.
- Adhesives and sealants for masonry, tiles and other surface
finishes on buildings and pools.
- Corrosion of pipes and structural steel.
- Tiling failures, ceramic or vinyl tiles on the floor or
wall.
- Paint system problems, thickness, peeling and durability.

engine piston that was presented at the Failure
Analysis International Conference & Exhibition
in Melbourne 20th - 22nd November 2002
- Tyre failure, including determination of the
cause of blow-outs.
- Our experience covers mechanical failure of
components in the suspension, engine, braking, safety
restraint systems, and tyre failures
on passenger and sports cars, trucks and mining
equipment.

Engineering Failures
- Structural and component failures in cranes, machines
and aircraft including determination of mechanism and
cause.
- Non-destructive testing failures, explanation and
assessment of suitability of inspection.
- Assessment of corrosion mechanisms.
- Determination of compliance with Occupation Health
and Safety as well as Engineering Standards.

Public Liability
- Bottle breakages, assessment of cause.
- Slip accidents, measurement of the slip-resistance
of the surface to AS/NZS 3661.1 or AS/NZS 4663,
- Mechanical Failure of products and equipment, such
as ladders, chairs, racking systems, motorised scooters
and trolley systems.
- Incident investigations involving machines and equipment,
determination of contributing factors, including compliance
with Occupational Health and Safety and other standards.
- Our forensic engineers have presented evidence in the
Supreme, Federal, County, Magistrates and Coroners Courts
and emphasis is always placed on the continuity or logical
chain of evidence.
