Mechanical Forensics Engineering Services, LLC

Greetings! My name is Wade Bartlett. After 30 years of doing this work, with an eye towards the end-game, I am no longer accepting new clients. That's why there is no CV here. Or sales pitch. I will leave this page up for informational purposes for at least a while. The papers and essays are mostly related to things that interested me, friction testing, motorcycle dynamics, driver and rider performance and behavior, and event data recorders.
