MDE Engineers, Inc., supports our forensic investigations with expertise in materials analysis. Our metallurgical engineer is well trained with an advanced degree and specialized education in a variety of materials. Much research has been performed on the response of materials to common applications; and while pure material science is important and can be accomplished at MDE, we have brought it into the real world of commercial and consumer products. From the performance of aluminum in teapots to the evaluation of fasteners in jet fighters, MDE has done the job.

In many forensic examinations, there is a question as to the response of the material to the application and its processing. MDE can analyze these materials and respond to your project's test requirements. Most of our analysis is performed on in-house equipment, calibrated and ready for critical projects.

As in all of our forensic activities, we can provide expert witness testimony in trials, depositions, arbitrations, and other mediations.

Our engineers have performed forensic investigations and analyses in industries of all types, including: medical, electronics, aircraft, heavy equipment, waterworks, gas, construction, railroad, vehicles, recreation equipment, food service, oil, marine, mining, automated manufacturing, cranes, logging, etc.
