The numerical model used ABAQUS® software and a developed cohesive mixed-mode damage model adequate for ductile adhesives, and implemented within interface finite elements.
After the basic decision of bonding all components to the monopiles, two main adhesive routes were implemented for the small sensors on the one hand and all other components like cables, protection profiles and recording computer on the other hand.
Numerical predictions were also made applying a stress-based adhesive degradation model, previously implemented into a material user subroutine for ABAQUS/Standard.
He receives his medicine through a port secured to his chest by an FDA-approved dermal adhesive, Tegaderm, which he implemented in the Galactic Cap design.

A material model for spatial fatigue crack growth in the adhesive bondline is developed and implemented in the commercial software ABAQUS using a user-defined material subroutine for cohesive zone elements.
For the calculation of adhesive stresses, JointCalc implements the analytical elastic solutions available in the literature for the fundamental joint geometries (single and double-lap joints, single and double-strap joints, peel joints and cylindrical joints).
That said, the company insists that it's carrying on with the project, stating, "We are reevaluating the device for the winning Project CSX idea — an eye-tracking feature with self adhesive backing — and it will be implemented based on your feedback". The new timeline is still TBD, but the company has promised a more premium device next time around.

The crack growth is modeled through XFEM framework while cohesive elements are implemented to consider debonding in the adhesive layer.
The augmented multiplier Lagrangian method may be used (Żmudzki et al. 2012, 2013) in contact calculations with an implemented linear friction model and neglecting adhesive forces incomparably lower than mastication loads.
