WCCM-APCOM 2022: Mini-symposium on modelling and simulation of coupled solvent transport and deformation

Submitted by Laurence Brassart on Tue, 12/07/2021 - 12:23

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following mini-symposium at the upcoming WCCM-APCOM Conference to be held in Yokohama, July 31st-Aug 5th, 2022:

0603: Modelling and simulation of coupled solvent transport and deformation

It appears in the Fluid Dynamics and Transport Phenomena section, but it is very much a solid mechanics-oriented mini-symposium!

The (already extended) deadline for abstract submission is January 9.

Peel Strength Testing

Submitted by Deniz Yalcin on Mon, 12/06/2021 - 20:07

Peel strength, the average force required to separate two bonded materials from one another, is a property applicable to various industries including aerospace, automotive, adhesives, packaging, biomaterials, microelectronics, and more. Peel test data is used to determine the quality of the adhesive joint and, where applicable, provides information on the effects of processes and of the environment on the adhesive-adherend interface strength.
