Tensile Testing of Nitinol Wires
Shape memory alloys, like nickel titanium alloy (nitinol), are common in medical device applications. Nitinol is often used in fine wire form and can be difficult to test. Veryst has developed methods to test fine nitinol wires in uniaxial tension at different temperatures to obtain a stress-strain curve.Underfill Adhesive Flow and Cure
The microelectronics packaging industry relies heavily on adhesive bonding to assemble electronic components. Veryst built a COMSOL Multiphysics model of a thermocompression bonding process to help reduce bonding cycle time by simultaneously optimizing material and process variables.Service
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
