| dc.description.abstract | Prismatic lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are becoming the most prevalent battery type in electric vehicles, and their mechanical safety is garnering increased attention. Understanding the mechanical response and internal short circuit (ISC) of prismatic LIBs during dynamic impact is important for enhancing the safety and reliability of electric vehicles. Thanks to the pioneer's works on the cylindrical and pouch LIB, prismatic LIB can draw on relevant experimental and numerical modeling methods. However, there is still a lack of research on the dynamic effects of prismatic LIB in various loading directions. To address this disparity, the current research utilizes quasi-static and dynamic impact experiments on prismatic LIBs as a foundation. First, the mechanical response of a sizable prismatic LIB under quasi-static conditions and the dynamic effects are examined when subjected to mechanical abuse from various loading directions. Second, an anisotropic finite element model that considers dynamic strain rates are developed, enabling it to accurately represent the mechanical response to both quasi-static and dynamic impact loads. At last, we performed an analysis of ISC occurring under dynamic loading conditions combining the experimental and simulated results. The experimental results as well as the established model can provide reference for the safe design, application, and analysis of prismatic LIBs. | |
