Testing and Modeling of Polymers: High Rate and Traditional Testing

Design engineers often use polymers in impact protection applications, and these designs experience high strain rates during impact.  Polymers are viscoplastic by nature, so the material response is highly dependent on the strain rate.  Collecting data on your polymer (elastomer, thermoplastic, f

Webinar

Adhesive Testing and Material Model Calibration for FEA of Bonded Joints

In this free, one-hour webinar, we will share the basics of how to develop material models for adhesives to be used in commercial finite element analysis (FEA) codes.  We will cover both continuum material modeling and cohesive zone modeling. 

Advanced DMA Methods: Using Time-Temperature Superposition

In this free, one-hour webinar, we will share the basics of how a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) instrument can be used to measure the temperature- and time-dependent properties of materials.  We will then discuss time-temperature superposition, a technique for extrapolating the mechanical res

High Rate Testing of Polymers for Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

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. 

High-Rate Testing of Adhesives and Composites
The high-rate mechanical properties of adhesives and composites are important for numerous industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and defense. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to characterize composites and adhesive joints to understand joint performance under impact loading conditions. We will discuss how recent innovations in high-speed imaging can be leveraged to characterize structural adhesives at high strain rates.
Mechanical Test Methods for Small and Micro Samples

In this webinar, we will discuss various test methods that Veryst has developed to use when there is little material available for test samples.

Case study

Accelerated Creep Testing of Polymers with Time-Temperature Superposition
A medical device designer wanted to forecast the creep performance of a plastic part for at least two years. Veryst tested the material using time-temperature superposition to characterize the material’s long-term performance quickly and efficiently to determine if the design performs adequately after two years.
Additively Manufactured Lattices
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of complex lattice structures that cannot feasibly or economically be manufactured any other way. However, there are complicating factors that engineers are likely to confront when designing fine AM lattice structures: geometric inaccuracy and anisotropic material properties.
Adhesive Cure Troubleshooting with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
An adhesive joint was failing in the field. Veryst used DSC to investigate and determined the root cause to be improper curing of the adhesive.
