 Forensic materials engineering

Forensic materials engineering is a specialized field that applies principles of materials science and engineering to the investigation of materials-related incidents or failures, often in a legal or criminal context. This discipline involves the analysis of materials—such as metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites—to determine their properties, behavior, and the causes of their failure. Key aspects of forensic materials engineering include: 1. **Failure Analysis**: Identifying the reasons behind the failure of materials in structures, components, or products.
