Steve Roensch is a mechanical engineer with 23 years of professional experience in failure analysis and litigation consulting. He has analyzed hundreds of product designs and has provided expert witness services across many industries, including giving depositions and court testimony. Mr. Roensch has provided litigation consulting in the energy, construction, industrial, transportation, commercial, utility and residential industries. He has supplied legal team technical support, and has given depositions and testified in court and arbitration hearings. Mr. Roensch specializes in analyzing the physical stresses that arise in a product under various loading conditions, and in determining if the design is sufficient to survive such loads. He investigates product failures and accidents from a fundamental engineering perspective, often applying finite element analysis. He documents his efforts thoroughly from the start, for concise presentation to the legal team, other experts and the jury. Complex engineering principles are explained using everyday concepts that everyone can understand. Color stress plots and animations are used whenever possible to convey complicated engineering results in an easy to understand visual format.
