Veryst and colleagues from Merck & Co Inc. recently published a paper on "Coring and Fragmentation of Elastomeric Needle Shield in a Pre-Filled Syringe" in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology. The team used a combined experimental- and simulation-based approach to develop models of needles inserted into rubber stoppers to predict elastomer fragments in the needles.
We were pleased to see so many people at COMSOL Conference 2024 Boston where we presented two invited talks, posters, and a workshop on “Multiphysics Simulation Expedites Progress and Reduces Risk in BioPharma and MedTech R&D.”
Researchers studying the anatomical and mechanical properties of ovine ribs asked Veryst to conduct high strain rate testing on our custom-built drop tower.
Veryst is proud to have participated again in the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Polymer Day 2024 symposium on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. The event included a judged poster competition, seminars, career development workshops, an alumni career panel, and more.
Dr. Matthew Hancock and Dr. Sean Teller spoke at the Pre Filled Syringes and Injectable Drug Devices East Coast conference held in Boston, MA. They talked about “Multiphysics Simulation and Testing in Combination Product Design & Verification: Reducing Patient Risk.” Afterwards, they participated in a panel discussion.
Dr. Sean Teller taught an online, 90-minute course on High Rate Mechanical Testing of Polymer Materials for Finite Element Simulation. He explained how to overcome challenges when conducting high-rate mechanical testing of polymer materials to produce accurate results and successful simulations.
Dr. Scott Grindy was an instructor in the "Formulation Strategies Short Course" offered at the Adhesives and Sealants Council Annual Convention & EXPO, which took place in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Grindy discussed "Continuum and Fracture Mechanics based Testing and FEA of Bonded Joints."
Dr. Mark Oliver spoke about “Modeling Fatigue Debonding of Adhesives in E-Mobility Battery Packs” and Dr. Scott Grindy spoke about “Computer Vision-Enhanced Measurement of Adhesive Toughness at Impact Rates” at this in-person event in Savannah, Georgia.
Veryst engineers explain the advantages of time-temperature superposition (TTS) in this new article, just published. TTS is an advanced thermomechanical analysis method that allows rubber scientists and engineers to extrapolate the mechanical properties of polymeric materials to long times or high frequencies by using tests that last less than a day.
Dr. Nirmal Paudel presented a free, one-hour webinar on Modeling Eddy Current Inductive Sensors in COMSOL Multiphysics. He demonstrated a workflow for designing an eddy current sensor for nondestructive testing using the COMSOL Multiphysics software and its parametric sweep and optimization functionality for frequency domain simulations.
