Summary
This grant will focus on developing an integrated computational modeling and experimental framework for simulating lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under mechanical abuse conditions, such as impact loading. LIBs are the most used power source for electric vehicles, which leads to an ever-increasing need to improve the safety of LIBs so that they can be used in mechanical abuse conditions. To improve the safety design and ultimately reliability of advanced long life and high energy LIBs, a recent trend is to use numerical simulations as an alternative to expensive and time-consuming real-world test
