Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom is currently a Managing
Engineer at Veryst Engineering LLC. Veryst provides services
in product design, manufacturing processes, and failure analysis.
Dr. Bergstrom consults primarily in the modeling, testing, and
failure analysis of mechanical behavior of materials, particularly
polymeric materials. His consulting work includes sensor design
and analysis, polymer gaskets and hoses, injection molded components,
and polymer films. He has worked with the National Institute
of Health and Department of Defense on the modeling and prediction
of polymer behavior. He has developed world-recognized models
for simulating the large deformation, rate-dependent, non-linear
behavior of elastomers, thermoplastics, and thermosets. In addition
to theoretical modeling, Dr. Bergstrom has significant experience
with experimental material characterization, including mechanical
testing, calorimetry, microscopy, chromatography, and spectroscopy.
Dr. Bergstrom also works with particle and
fiber-filled polymer composites. He has additional expertise
in the behavior of brittle materials such as ceramics, ice,
and rocks. This expertise includes research in crack nucleation,
crack coalescence, and shear fault formation in brittle solids.
Dr. Bergstrom also specializes in different computer simulation
techniques, including finite element modeling, and advanced
material model development. Dr. Bergstrom's expertise is applicable
to problems in material processing, manufacturing simulation,
product design, and failure analysis.
Dr. Bergstrom is a Lecturer in the Department
of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.
