Mr. David Ahearn performs scientific investigations and root cause analyses of failed components, structures, and systems. Common issues for analysis are determining contributions toward failure from design, manufacturing methods/material processes, use conditions, maintenance, or application.
His investigations have included everyday items such as roadways and household items, to complex industrial material applications for refractory linings and computer components. In addition to components and structures, Mr. Ahearn has performed systems analyses for regulatory compliance, gap assessments, code, and safety compliance.
