Mr. Weaver has experience in several areas including biomechanics, accident reconstruction, computer simulation, and mechanical systems design. He has used biomechanical analysis and accident reconstruction to determine the mechanisms of injuries from product, vehicular, workplace and other types of accidents. He has also used biomechanical analysis to measure and interpret the effects of vibrations in various workplace settings.
Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Weaver was a Research Associate at the Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory at Michigan State University. In this capacity, he studied the long-term effects of impact trauma to soft tissues. These studies lead to the development of an experimental model of osteoarthritis.
