Principia Engineering reconstructs McLaren 570S loss of control accident for Car & Driver article. Our work included creation of a 3D scene model using Google Earth terrain data to prepare a physics-based vehicle dynamics simulation of the accident and final animations. Read the full article at this link. We apply our knowledge of engineering, biology and medicine to help understand the causes of failures and accidents.
Our experience, knowledge and expertise provide an integrated approach to failure analysis and accident investigations. We use the latest technology in accident reconstruction including computer modeling, digital data acquisition, and photogrammetry to provide our clients the best possible outcomes.

The study of injury is central to the practice of failure analysis and accident reconstruction.
Often accidents and product failures are accompanied by human injury or death.
Investigation of these failures and accidents involves not only the examination of broken mechanical parts but also the examination of the physical evidence present in the injuries caused by the accident.
Principia's staff applies extensive knowledge of engineering, biology and medicine to understand the cause and severity of injuries.
