Upcoming Webinars

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.

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.
Lipid Nanoparticle Self-assembly for mRNA Vaccine Production

CFD Modeling for mRNA Vaccine Production

This webinar will introduce how to model fluid mixing and nanoparticle self-assembly for mRNA vaccine production using COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys Fluent.  Such models can rapidly expedite experimental design for small-batch or production-scale applications.  Users will learn how to couple fluid dynamics, chemical species transport, and population balance models to predict mixing times and nanoparticle size distributions in these systems.

Abaqus Python Scripting

Introduction to Abaqus Python Scripting

This webinar will introduce users to Python scripting with Abaqus, a powerful tool enabling Abaqus users to parameterize models, automate workflows, and even enable functionality that is otherwise inaccessible due to severe repeatability.  In this class we will introduce you to Python scripting within the Abaqus environment, teach you how to get started, and showcase some basic capabilities through simple, instructive examples.
