About this title

Synopsis

Given the infinite number of applications of polymeric materials in everyday life, especially those where a failure in service may lead to economic loss, injury or death, the ability to use forensic engineering to determine the cause of the failure is essential. Forensic Polymer Engineering: Why Polymer Products Fail In Service reviews the latest forensic engineering techniques used in the investigation of failed polymer materials. It includes a series of case studies that illustrate different types of failures and the forensic engineering techniques used to investigate the failures.

The book begins with an introduction to forensic polymer engineering and an overview of the examination and analysis of failed polymer components. Further chapters contain detailed case studies of failure and forensic investigation of polymeric medical devices, polymer storage tanks, small polymeric containers, polymer pipes and fittings, polymeric seals, polymeric tools and ladders, polymer components in transport applications, and polymer consumer products. The final chapter examines product failure causes, including poor manufacturing methods, poor design, poor choice of materials, and failures due to a lack of consideration for environmental factors.

With its distinguished authors, this is a valuable reference for forensic experts practicing in all engineering fields that involve polymeric materials, as well as design and construction professionals, product manufacturers and insurance professionals.
