Discover why engineers view materials as springs under load—from Capri Sun straws to stadium roofs. Explore tension, compression, yielding, and buckling with real-world failure analysis and an interactive truss simulator.
Across three generations, one family of mechanical engineers has earned more than 200 patents. Their story shows how the U.S. patent system can protect inventors’ rights, encourage innovation, and give engineers the confidence to invest in new ideas, products, and businesses
Learn the difference between a hazard and a risk, and how engineers evaluate exposure, likelihood, severity, foreseeable use, and safeguards when conducting product safety assessments, machinery design reviews, and forensic engineering investigations.
Generative AI tools can create persuasive yet fundamentally flawed liability claims. This pre-litigation case study reveals how an unverified LLM analysis misapplied ASTM F2291 safety standards to uncalibrated accelerometer data, and why expert human judgment remains essential in legal disputes.
Podcast Ep. 9: Patent expert witness Nigel Jones explains how source code review, technical analysis, and clear expert testimony support attorneys in patent litigation. This episode looks at the practical work behind infringement, validity, and trial preparation in complex IP disputes.
