Resumen:
The engineering forensic analysis of a traffic accident involving a truck and a bus is presented. Fractographic, metallographic and mechanical studies and numerical models of load transfer and crack propagation were made. A mechanical failure due to fatigue crack propagtaion was the immediate cause of the accident. However, a series of other factors contributed to the accident, which are also discussed.
