Abstract: Experimental findings are presented which demonstrate the coupled transport, mechanical and morphological changes in porous battery materials when they are cycled electrochemically. These materials, ...

Abstract: Some fundamental issues concerning the design and performance of stochastic porous structures are examined, stemming from application of advanced fibrous electrode substrates in NiMH automotive ...

Abstract: Mechanical degradation in fibrous composite electrodes in use in NiMH(nickel metal hydride) batteries is being studied. NiMH cells exhibit failure in the positive plate due to swelling induced ...

Abstract: Models are presented for the evolution of transport and mechanical properties of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery substrates. In the first paper in this series (Wang et al., 1999), conductive ...

Abstract: Large area electron beams (EBs) have recently been successfully used to machine dies and tool steels. This large area EB process can greatly improve the machined surface quality as well as ...
