Scientific Accident Reconstruction, Dynamic Failure Analysis, and Courtroom-Ready Engineering Testimony

Detailed Forensic Analysis with ADAMS Software

Our specialized forensic applications, primarily utilizing ADAMS software, offer in-depth analytical capabilities for various investigative needs:

Virtual accident reconstruction - Coupled dynamics models of vehicles and environments can be simulated in ADAMS to simulate collision scenarios, accidents, high impacts, etc. Complex vehicle dynamics and occupant kinematics, complex incidents where a combination of factors need to be considered to calculate the accelerations resulting in bodily injuries can be studies using coupled loads analysis (CLA) in ADAMS.

Biomechanics analysis - While not ideal for detailed biomechanical analysis, ADAMS can be used to estimate basic body movements in various scenarios, supporting preliminary investigations. 

Creating visual representations of accident scenes - 3D models of crash scenes generated in ADAMS might be used for illustrative purposes in presentations or reports. 

Simulations of gait patterns - Models of feet and walking surfaces could be created in ADAMS to study gait mechanics related to footwear impressions found at crime scenes.
