Computational and Experimental Observation of Li-Ion Concentration Distribution and Diffusion-Induced Stress in Porous Battery Electrodes

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on

A multiscale model of porous electrodes based on the Gibbs free energy is developed, in which the Li ion diffusion, diffusion-induced stress (DIS), and polydispersities of electrode particle sizes are considered. The relationships between the size polydispersities and the concentration profiles and DIS evolution are investigated numerically. Li ion distributions are verified by in situ observation of color changes in a commercial porous graphite electrode.

tunable optical transmittance

Optical devices and systems with tunable optical transmittance have recently attracted great interest due to their wide range of applications. However, the reported methods of realizing tunable optical transmittance still suffer from complex fabrication processes, high cost, unstable materials or low tuning range. In this study, we report a simple, cheap, and highly effective approach to achieve large tuning range of optical transmittance through harnessing surface wrinkling-cracking patterns on PDMS films.

Experimental and numerical study of crack behaviour for capsule-based self-healing cementitious materials

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

Our group at Delft University is developing self-healing concrete for over a decade. Recently, they have published a combined experimental and modeling study related to designing these materials. More details are available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319542777_Experimental_and_num…

On cavitation in rubberlike materials

Submitted by Konstantin Volokh on

Microscopic voids can irreversibly grow into the macroscopic ones under hydrostatic tension. To explain this phenomenon it was suggested in the literature to use the asymptotic value of the hydrostatic tension in the plateau yield-like region on the stress-stretch curve obtained for the neo-Hookean model. Such an explanation has two limitations: (a) it relies on analysis of only one material model and (b) the hyperelasticity theory is used for the explanation of the failure phenomenon.
