Engineering - Mechanical experts

Introduction

The field of mechanical engineering involves the research, design, development, manufacturing and management of machinery. The field is split into several subfields including mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, design and drafting, and mechatronics and robotics.

Mechanical engineers are based in a variety of settings including large multinational companies, government and private research laboratories, manufacturing and processing plants, mining, tool machining factories, and transport infrastructure.

Mechanical engineers are usually concerned with machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and mechanised factories. They use tools such as CAD (computer-aided design), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product life cycle management.

At the bottom of this profile are brief details of a number of the experts that Expert Experts represents. Call our office to discuss your requirements and to obtain a recommendation that suits your needs and budget.

Expertise in Action

Experts in the field of mechanical engineering are required to provide opinions in cases related to machinery, mechanical failures, product liability and accidents. These experts are highly experienced and understand the intricacies of mechanical systems.

They offer highly professional service specialising in cases involving accident analysis, materials failure, causation examination, uneven wear, and mechanical breakdown.

Sample Reports

For some fields of expertise we have some sample sections of de-identified reports. Please contact our office if you are interested in a sample.

Cost

The overall cost of expert opinion depends on the services required. Some of the key factors that affect the cost of advice include:

• The need for a view or inspection of a location
• The quantity of documentary material to be reviewed
• Whether there are reports of other experts to be reviewed and commented on in detail
• Whether there is a need for conferences with the expert either in person or by telephone/Skype
