IJFE seeks original contributions on the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail to perform, resulting in personal injury or loss of property. The scope is wider than failure analysis alone, and includes all aspects of forensic engineering and related fields.

Note that, compared to Inderscience's International Journal of Forensic Engineering and Management, IJFE focuses on the scientific and engineering side of forensic engineering; IJFEM, in contrast, focuses on forensics in management, organisational structures, business, economics, finance, public policy and politics.

Topics covered include

  • Forensic practices
  • Investigation methods
  • Expert witnessing
  • Codes, standards and guidelines
  • Geo-forensic and structural failures
  • Material degradation and mechanical failures
  • System, product and operational failures
  • Forensic electrical engineering
  • Post-disaster damage assessment
  • Remediation and rehabilitation
  • Legal perspectives, ethical conduct and environmental concerns
  • Insurance and loss adjustment
  • Practices to reduce failures and disaster mitigation
  • Education

Objectives

The objectives of IJFE include raising awareness of current forensic engineering practices both to the forensic community itself and to a wider audience. An additional objective will be to attract contributors from experts world-wide to address related issues such as engineering disasters and learning from failure.

Readership

Professional forensic scientists and engineers, lawyers and paralegals, whether in government, academe or private practice will be a prime audience. It should extend to those who manage structural failure, design engineers, insurers, loss adjustors, assessors, field engineers and investigators. Final-year or post-graduate engineering and science students will also form a likely audience.

Contents

Case studies, singly or grouped, on practical and real world failure investigations will form the basic core of contributions. IJFE also publishes original papers, review papers and technical reports. Special Issues devoted to important topics in forensic engineering and selected papers from conferences will be occasionally published. Suggestions for special issues and publications are welcome.
