Finite Element Analysis Expert Witnesses

If you’re searching for a reputable finite element analysis expert for your case, ForensisGroup has you covered. Finite element analysis refers to a type of numerical technique that works by breaking down a large object into a vast amount of smaller components so as to analyze each specific piece. Finite element analysis is often used as a means of determining whether a product, such as a vehicle or other type of engineered machinery, can withhold stress from various outside elements. Finite element analysis expert consulting may provide essential information for cases involving such areas as biomechanics engineering, mechanical engineering, product design, manufacturing, chemical engineering, geotechnical engineering, failure analysis, robotics, automotive engineering, or other disciplines concerning various systems and engineering, as each may be at the center of litigation regarding the use of finite element analysis.

Since finite element analysis may be used for a wide range of issues, it is important to retain the right finite element analysis for your specific case. Finite element analysis experts with a background in structural engineering, for instance, often have specific knowledge of civil engineering, materials testing, composites, concrete, steel, masonry, or other related disciplines. Finite element analysis cases may also concern medical devices, research and development, manufacturing management, biotechnology, biomedical equipment, industrial engineering, thermal analysis and testing, product liability, and other related disciplines.

Attorneys have been turning to ForensisGroup for over twenty years to be connected with trusted and credible experts from across the nation. Let us match you with a highly qualified finite element analysis expert witness for your case by calling our office today at 1-800-555-5422.
