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.
Dr. Nagi Elabbasi spoke about "Challenges in Radio Frequency Tissue Ablation Simulations at the 2016 NAFEMS European Multiphysics Conference. Veryst has developed computational models that illustrate the sensitivity of RF thermal ablation response and highlight the importance of model validation.
Dr. Sean Teller spoke about “A New High Strain-Rate Biaxial Experiment to Validate Constitutive Models for Polymers” and about “Fracture Testing and Cohesive Zone Modeling of Automotive Adhesives” at ASME IMECE.
"Stress-free Simulation: The Art of Accurate Polymer Modelling" is the title of an article by Veryst's Eric Schmitt and Jorgen Bergstrom. The article appears in the October 2016 issue of Benchmark magazine, published by NAFEMS.
Dr. Alireza Kermani spoke about “Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate airflow in a hospital room,” addressing forced and natural ventilation and the flow of bacteria particles originating from a sick patient.
Dr. Mark Oliver spoke about “Experimentally Calibrating Cohesive Zone Models for Structural Automotive Adhesives” at the 2016 Adhesives & Sealant Convention.
MEMS expert Allyson Hartzell presented a Tutorial Program at the IIRW (International Integrated Reliability Workshop), covering a range of topics including tutorial covered common failure mechanisms in MEMS and examples of design and process fixes.
Dr. Matthew Hancock offered a presentation on "Modeling and Simulation of Microfluidic Organ-on-Chip Devices" at the Lab-on-a-Chip Microfluidics & Microarrays World Congress 2016.
