چکیده
Numerous techniques have been developed over the years in the examination of toolmarks and footwear impression. Recent development in the following aspects are described: shoemark enhancement techniques, new casting materials, comparison scanning electron microscopy, computerized identification of striations, and recovery of erased numbers in new metallic and polymeric materials. Furthermore, quality assurances and the duties of toolmark examiners are examine.

Objective Analysis of Impressed Chisel Toolmarks.
Historical and recent challenges to the practice of comparative forensic examination have created a driving force for the formation of objective methods for toolmark identification. In this study, fifty sequentially manufactured chisels were used to create impression toolmarks in lead (500 toolmarks total). An algorithm previously used to statistically separate known matching and nonmatching st...
متن کاملVirtual and simulated striated toolmarks for forensic applications.
Large numbers of experimental toolmarks of screwdrivers are often required in casework of toolmark examiners and in research environments alike, to be able to recover the angle of attack of a crime scene mark and to determine statistically meaningful properties of toolmarks respectively. However, in practice the number of marks is limited by the time needed to create them. In this article, we p...
متن کاملAngular Determination of Toolmarks Using a Computer-Generated Virtual Tool.
A blind study to determine whether virtual toolmarks created using a computer could be used to identify and characterize angle of incidence of physical toolmarks was conducted. Six sequentially manufactured screwdriver tips and one random screwdriver were used to create toolmarks at various angles. An apparatus controlled tool angle. Resultant toolmarks were randomly coded and sent to the resea...
متن کاملObjective Comparison of Toolmarks from the Cutting Surfaces of Slip-Joint Pliers
Experimental results from a statistical analysis algorithm for objectively comparing toolmarks via data files obtained using optical profilometry data are described. The algorithm employed has successfully been used to compare striated marks produced by screwdrivers. In this study, quasi-striated marks produced by the cutting surfaces of slip-joint pliers were examined. Marks were made by cutti...
متن کاملA Rapid Optimization Method for Slip Surface in Earth Slopes Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper introduces an accurate, fast, and applicable method for optimization of slip surfaces in earth slopes. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is one of the modern and non-classic optimization methods, in conjunction with the
well -known Bishop applied method, the optimum slip surface in an earth slope is investigated and its corresponding lowest safety factor is determined. Investiga...
