Product & Material Failure Analysis
Precision Forensic Engineering for Product Defects
“Our goal is to turn broken components into clear conclusions.”
When Components Fail, We Find Out Why
At Beacon Forensic, we specialize in determining the root cause of failures in products, components, and materials across a range of industries. Our engineers apply advanced forensic engineering techniques to evaluate whether failures result from design defects, manufacturing issues, misuse, or environmental conditions.
Whether addressing a component failure in a legal matter or evaluating a broader product issue, we provide objective, science-based conclusions that bring clarity and support informed decisions..
What We Investigate
We investigate a wide range of product and material failures to uncover the underlying causes—whether due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, environmental factors, or improper use.
Metals & Alloys – Fracture, fatigue, corrosion, wear, and weld-related failures
Polymers & Plastics – Brittle fracture, creep, environmental degradation, and failures in bonded joints and adhesive interfaces
Composite Materials – Delamination, fiber breakage, and resin-related defects
Mechanical Components & Assemblies – Design deficiencies, assembly errors, wear, and overload conditions
Couplings & Connections – Misalignment, loosening, fatigue, and load transfer failures
Applications
