Engineering Standards for Forensic Application de Richard W. McLay

Engineering Standards for Forensic Application

Editat de Richard W. McLay, Robert N. Anderson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2018
Engineering Standards for Forensic Application presents the technologies and law precedents for the application of engineering standards to forensic opinions, discussing Fundamentals, Disciplines, Engineering Standards, The Basics and the Future of Forensics. The book explores the engineering standard and how it is used by experts to give opinions that are introduced into evidence, and how they are assumed to be the best evidence known on the topic at hand. Final sections include coverage of NFL Brain Injuries and the Flint Water Crisis. Examples of the use of engineering standards are shown and discussed throughout the work.


  • Addresses a wide variety of forensic engineering areas, including relevant law
  • Provides a new approach of study that includes the work of both engineers and litigators
  • Contains contributions from over 40 experts, offering the reader examples of general forensic methods that are based on reliable engineering practice
