Modeling a Stacked Piezoelectric Actuator in a Valve

May 13, 2015

Piezoelectric valves are energy efficient, durable, and fast. You can model a key component of this device responsible for opening and closing the valve: a stacked piezoelectric actuator.

Simulating the Insertion of a Snap Hook

March 31, 2015

Snap hooks, a type of fastener that involves the insertion of a hook into a slot, are found in the automotive industry. Simulation can be used to analyze their insertion and removal.

Introducing Nonlinear Elastic Materials

January 9, 2015

Examples of nonlinear elastic material models: Ramberg-Osgood, Duncan-Chang, Hardin-Drnevich, Power law, and more. We discuss how to apply nonlinear elastic materials in your analyses.
