Failure Analysis
In-depth failure analysis is a form of forensic inquiry where teams collect and analyze data to determine what went wrong in a product, component, system, or structure. Of course, the better the team, the more reliable the results. At Kevin Kennedy Associates, our failure analysis teams are led and/or staffed by experts with over 25 years of experience. As such, the quality of our work in failure analysis is unsurpassed.
When you contact us to assist you with your in-depth failure needs, we’ll assemble a team immediately. If the situation warrants, they will implement scientific methods that might include non-destructive testing, visual and microscopic inspection, and/or other scientific methods. In situations where much of the physical evidence has been destroyed (fires or automobile crashes, for example), they will employ a speculative approach supported by analytical field tools.
Our in-depth failure analysis team can be on scene anywhere in the world in a short period of time. Our teams span the complete spectrum from automotive to biomedical, to
construction, consumer products,
electronics industries, and beyond. If it exists, our experts will know about it or will have the fundamental knowledge to perform an independent analysis.
We rely on the diverse backgrounds of our experts to create just the right team for your needs. They have diverse educational backgrounds including mechanical, electrical, civil, industrial,
environmental,
materials, chemical,
fire and accident, and biomedical. In addition, these experts have worked in a wide array of industries that include automotive,
manufacturing, pharmaceutical,
electronics, aerospace,
medical device, nuclear, food processing,
construction, alternative energy, power generation, and more.
