High Rate Testing of Polymers for Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Free, One-hour Webinar
In this free, one-hour webinar, we will discuss the importance of rate dependence of polymers, methods to measure material response at quasi-static and impact strain rates, and how to use this data to inform and optimize your component design.

Course Instructor
Dr. Sean Teller is a Principal at Veryst Engineering. Dr. Teller has extensive experience in testing and modeling the mechanical behavior of materials. His expertise includes measuring the response of polymers at impact rates and capturing the nonlinear behavior of advanced, engineering materials. His experience also includes characterizing the nonlinear, finite deformation response of materials, focusing largely on viscoplasticity, biomaterials, and fracture mechanics.
Dr. Teller earned his Ph.D. from Brown University in Solid Mechanics, with research on high frequency, nonlinear viscoelasticity.
Learning Objectives
- Understand what rate-dependence in polymers looks like
- Identify which classes of polymers show rate-dependent response
- Understand the test methods and machines available for different high-rate applications and their advantages or disadvantages
- Know what to consider when choosing your test mode at high rates
