Upcoming Webinars

The inductance and resistance changes for various crack locations of an absolute probe (left). Eddy current induced around the crack for various crack locations (right).

Electromagnetic Simulation of Inductive Sensors

An inductive eddy current sensor is a non-contact device that generates electromagnetic fields to detect changes in the properties of conductive materials, such as defects, thickness, or conductivity. This webinar will introduce the fundamentals of inductive sensors, present a detailed workflow for designing them for nondestructive testing, and much more.
Soft actuators webinar

Modeling Soft Actuators and Devices

This webinar will introduce you to computational modeling of soft actuators, helping you understand how input loading impacts the response of the structure. Soft actuators frequently use nonlinear material properties and geometrical effects to work, and the inherent compliance of soft actuators make them ideal candidates for haptic applications, novel medical/surgical devices, wearables, and more.

Customizing Mechanical Test Methods for Medical Device R&D

In this free, 45-min webinar, we will discuss some of the challenges engineers face when obtaining mechanical properties of materials and components used in medical devices and we will share strategies for designing non-standard mechanical test methods to meet these challenges.
Microwave heating of a process fluid

Multiphysics Simulation of Electromagnetic Heating for Industrial Decarbonization

Electromagnetic heating is a critical technology for reducing emissions and energy use in manufacturing, which is the source of more than 30% of our greenhouse gas emissions. In this webinar, we will review various modes of electromagnetic heating, their underlying physics, and key methods for developing accurate multiphysics models of these technologies, and will present three helpful case studies.
Edge stress and blister delamination

Interfacial Stress and Delamination in Layered Structures

This webinar will introduce the mechanics of interfacial stress and delamination in layered structures, with the goal of helping engineers better predict and prevent delamination failures. We will survey the sources and basic characteristics of mechanical stress at interfaces as well as introduce the practical experimental, analytical, and computational approaches available for analyzing delamination failures.
