When mechanical plant fails, the technical, legal and contractual issues become very involved and complicated, and deciding causation can be difficult and prolonged. The principles and methodologies explained here will help

This book is essential reading for consultants, expert witnesses and all engineers who may become involved in commercial failure investigations.

CONTENTS INCLUDE: How to use this book Professional roles and responsibilities Strategy and tactics of failure investigation The inspection visit Doing a design and operation appraisal Mechanisms of failure Deciding causation How to present your conclusions Insurance investigations - deferring failure 'events' and proximate cause - subrogation.
