Failure Analysis & Root Cause Investigation – Expert Engineering Consultants

At Mechanical Engineering & Consulting, we specialize in failure analysis and root cause investigation using a proven in-house methodology to diagnose and resolve mechanical failures efficiently.

Why Choose Us?

With 28+ years of experience, we have analyzed and solved failures across various industrial sectors. Our expertise spans design, development, testing, and commissioning of mechanical components using the Validation & Verification (V&V) model. This extensive experience provides us with deep insights into why mechanical components and assemblies fail.

Common Failure Causes We Solve:

  • Vibration-related failures – crack initiation, fatigue failures, and resonance issues.

  • Environmental failures – temperature extremes, shock, water, sand, and dust.

  • Structural dynamics issues – altering natural frequencies, mode shape manipulation, and fatigue resistance improvements.

  • Mechanical component failures – stress fractures, material defects, and improper load distribution.

Our Failure Investigation & Root Cause Analysis Services

To effectively solve a problem, we must first thoroughly understand it. Our approach to failure investigation and analysis is structured to provide actionable solutions that enhance the longevity, performance, and safety of mechanical systems.

Our Process:

  • Comprehensive root cause analysis – Investigate and diagnose mechanical failures.

  • Short-term operational improvements – Implement immediate corrective actions.

  • Long-term design improvements – Ensure long-term operational safety and reliability.

  • Simulation & validation – Use advanced analysis & test simulations to verify improvements.

Case Study: Real-World Failure Analysis Success

Industry: Aerospace

Problem: A critical component failed due to fatigue fractures caused by high-frequency vibrations.

Solution: We adjusted the design by optimizing natural frequency distribution and applying damping techniques, successfully eliminating the failure.

Result: Increased component lifespan by 5X and reduced maintenance costs by 40%.
