Presentation at MEMS conference

Ms. Allyson Hartzell spoke at MEMS Manufacturing 2015, which took place on August 5-6, 2015 in Santa Clara, CA.  Ms. Hartzell presented the development of a successful MEMS reliability program using examples of the failure mechanisms to avoid as well as case studies of established MEMS producers.  For information about the conference, click here.

New book published on the Mechanics of Solid Polymers

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom’s book is now available! Mechanics of Solid Polymers: Theory and Computational Modeling explains how solid polymers behave, how they can be experimentally characterized, and how to predict their behavior in different load environments.  This comprehensive book reflects the latest advances in the understanding of polymers, and shows that with the right knowledge and tools it is possible to predict accurately the response of ALL polymers.

Presentation at NAFEMS World Congress 2015

Dr. Nagi Elabbasi presented a paper titled “Constitutive Modeling of Polyethylene” which described a custom material model for medium density polyethylene, accounting for large deformations and strains. The material model was implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics.
