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.
Veryst is pleased to introduce Bachir Abeid. Abeid’s primary focus is on computational modeling. His experience includes a wide range of mechanical testing, modeling, simulation, prototyping, and product development.
For sophisticated applications of adhesives, simulation can be a powerful tool for improving assembly processes. Dr. Mark Oliver presented a one-hour webinar in which he presented two examples of using COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate adhesive joints.
Allyson Hartzell was invited to serve as a judge at the 2017 iMatScit Innovators Event, part of the 2017 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit. This year, MRS welcomed 19 innovators to demonstrate their new materials-based emerging technologies.
Allyson Hartzell participated in this workshop focused on exploring opportunities for “radical innovations” for creating safe, healthy, and affordable housing. Ms. Hartzell provided insight into the use of MEMS and sensors in future housing projects.
Veryst’s Dr. Stuart Brown delivered a keynote presentation titled “Using Multiphysics to Diagnose the Cause of a Toxic Leak” at this years event (watch a video of the presentation). Veryst also presented a workshop “Modeling of Rubbers and Thermoplastics Using the PolyUMod® Library.”
Dr. Matthew Hancock spoke about "Modeling and Simulation of Microfluidic Devices," addressing how an array of modeling tools such as scaling arguments, analytical formulas, and finite element simulations may be leveraged to address microfluidic device development issues.
Dr. Nagi Elabbasi led a one-hour webinar in which he showed how to set up and solve a wide range of mechanical contact problems using COMSOL Multiphysics.
Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom was invited to speak at the Conference on Polymer Modeling in Winterthur, Switzerland. His presentation was titled “Predicting Failure and Fatigue of Polymers.”
Veryst’s simulation expertise was highlighted in a COMSOL blog that describes how Veryst simulated the flow and cure of a non-conductive film during the thermocompression bonding process.
