Failure Analysis

The consultants at Veryst provide failure and root cause analyses using core engineering disciplines to evaluate different failure scenarios.  Engineering specialties we apply to failure analyses include: mechanical engineering, materials science (metallurgy, ceramics, polymer science, compo

FTIR Spectroscopy and Microscopy

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a method for identifying the chemistry and structure of a material.  FTIR works by measuring the infrared light absorption properties of molecules.  Each functional group in a molecule, such as an alcohol or carboxylic acid, absorbs infr

Impact Simulation & Testing
Veryst offers expertise in simulation and testing of impact events with specialties including transient simulations, high strain-rate material characterization, modeling of failure mechanisms, and data processing and analysis. Veryst has served a wide range of industries in this area, such as consumer electronics, sports equipment, consumer appliances, and petrochemical engineering.
Material Model Calibration
Veryst has extensive experience selecting and calibrating a material model to capture the most important aspects of material behavior for your specific material and conditions during use.
Material Model Validation
Once a material model has been selected and calibrated to the test data, Veryst recommends validating the model by performing a test with a stress state different from any used for calibration.
Medical Devices
Veryst works with clients to develop high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable medical devices. We apply advanced characterization technologies, engineering analysis, and sophisticated simulation software to provide cost-effective solutions to time-critical engineering problems.
Polymer Analysis
Veryst provides expert services for product design, manufacturing processes, and failure analysis of polymeric components. Our expertise includes experimental characterization, computer modeling, and failure analysis. Our work is based on advanced characterization and physically-based computer models to solve industrial problems involving polymer systems.
Simulation & Analysis

Veryst provides expertise in many aspects of simulation and analysis for use in product design, manufacturing processes, and failure analysis.  This includes modeling and analysis involving polymer materials, multiphysics modeling, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, compu

Specialized Tools and Techniques
Veryst Engineering provides a variety of state-of-the-art characterization services, including Digital Image Correlation (DIC), high speed imaging, microscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy and microscopy for our clients.
Specimen Preparation
Veryst can create test samples from raw materials, choosing the specimen preparation method that is most suitable for our clients' material and application.
Tests by FEA Software
Veryst can specify a test program—a standard combination of tests—that captures your material’s response for use with a particular material model in a variety of finite element software packages. We have developed packages for many common constitutive models, but can customize the test plan to any model.

News item

A new addition to the Veryst team!
Veryst is pleased to welcome Eric Schmitt, M.S. to its engineering team.  Mr. Schmitt is a mechanical engineer who has worked in simulation, prototyping, testing, and product development roles. 
Article on time-temperature superposition published in Rubber World
Veryst engineers explain the advantages of time-temperature superposition (TTS) in this new article, just published. TTS is an advanced thermomechanical analysis method that allows rubber scientists and engineers to extrapolate the mechanical properties of polymeric materials to long times or high frequencies by using tests that last less than a day.
Article published on high strain rate testing of elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers
Dr. Sean Teller's article appears in RubberWorld magazine’s January, 2019 edition. Dr. Teller explains the different test methods available to test elastomers and TPEs, advantages and disadvantages, and more.
