Abstract: This study details a framework for an iterative process which is utilized to optimize lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack design. This is accomplished through the homogenization of the lithium-ion cells and modules, the finite ...

Abstract: The present study investigated the effect of web distortion on the lateral torsional buckling strength of Gerber systems. Toward this goal, a number of modifications were introduced into two finite-element formulations for ...

Abstract: Li-ion batteries are the preferred choice of energy storage in many applications. However, the potential for fire and explosion due to mechanical damage remains a safety concern. Currently, there are no criteria for the ...

Abstract: Mechanical abusive loadings, as an inevitable consequence of road accidents, can damage the embedded energy storage system in an electric vehicle and deform its constitutive parts, e.g., the lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, ...

Abstract: Models that can accurately describe deformation and stress in lithium-ion batteries are required to inform new device designs that can better withstand mechanical fatigue. Developing such models is particularly challenging ...
