Forensic Fractography of Bone A New Model for Skeletal Trauma Analysis
Fractography is a tool for studying material failure. Analysis of cracks and fractures can reveal information about how, why, and where a fracture initiated and how a crack traveled, providing insight into the cause of failure. This webinar provides a basic introduction to forensic fractography of bone, which represents a new model for skeletal trauma that emphasizes understanding the cause of material failure rather than simply classifying fracture patterns.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on November 2, 2022.
