Synopsis

Given the infinite number of applications of polymeric materials in everyday life, especially applications where a failure in service may lead to economic loss, injury or death, the ability to determine the cause of failure using forensic engineering techniques is essential. Forensic polymer engineering: Why polymer materials fail in service reviews the latest forensic engineering techniques used in the investigation of failed polymer materials. It presents a series of case studies which illustrate the different types of failure and the forensic engineering techniques used in their investigation.

Key Features: reviews the latest forensic engineering techniques used in the investigation of failed polymer components; detailed case studies illustrate different types of failure in polymer components, fittings and medical devices; examines the role of manufacturing in product failure with an overview of faults recognised in methods, design and material selection.

Contents: Introduction; Examination and analysis of failed components; Polymer medical devices; Polymer storage tanks; Small polymeric containers; Polymeric pipes and fittings; Polymeric seals; Tools and ladders; Components in transport applications; Consumer products; Conclusions.
