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.
Veryst can create test samples from raw materials, choosing the specimen preparation method that is most suitable for our clients' material and application.
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.
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.
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.
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.
COMSOL offers an “inside look” at how Veryst’s engineers collaborate to produce accurate and reliable simulations.
Veryst has been granted a patent on our custom-designed drop tower for conducting high strain rate uniaxial tension and compression tests. This unique and versatile test system can be used to measure the high-rate stress-strain response of elastomers, thermoplastics, foams, engineering composites, thermosets, and biomaterials.
Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom et. al published an extended abstract on their work on testing and modeling the rate dependent behavior of polyether ether keytone (PEEK).
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is used extensively in biomedical devices due to its mechanical properties, including high impact and wear resistance. Veryst developed an advanced thermomechanical constitutive model for UHWMPE where the microstructure of the material is represented using three structural domains that capture the experimentally-observed, nonlinear, time- and temperature-dependent response at small and large strains.
Researchers studying the anatomical and mechanical properties of ovine ribs asked Veryst to conduct high strain rate testing on our custom-built drop tower.
Veryst is pleased to introduce Bachir Abeid. Abeid’s primary focus is on computational modeling. His experience includes a wide range of mechanical testing, modeling, simulation, prototyping, and product development.
