Call for Abstracts: SES 2017@Boston, Symposium II-B: Computational Mechanics of Soft Materials in Medicine

Submitted by Hongyan Yuan on

This symposium will focus on the computational modeling of soft materials and their interactions with biological entities for application in medicine. We are particularly interested in materials that can be functionalized to react to external stimuli and/or change their mechanical and chemical properties substantially at room temperature, including, for instance, hydrogels, liquid crystals, un-crosslinked or weakly crosslinked polymers, granular materials, foams, lipid mono/bi-layers as well as soft biological materials (e.g., blood, extracellular matrices, cytoskeleton, biomembranes).

Materials Testing- ADMET Blog

Submitted by Deniz Yalcin on

Materials Testing is that part of engineering design, development and research that relies on laboratory testing of one kind or another to answer questions. Testing is also required during manufacturing to ensure a material or product meets some predefined specification. A universal testing machine is used to measure the mechanical properties of materials intension, compression, bending or torsion. Common properties of interest include Offset Yield Strength, Young’s Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Tensile and Compression Strength and Total Elongation.
